Melbourne University Soccer Club (MUSC) is looking for a volunteer Technical Director to provide strategic football leadership across all our squads, from social and masters football through to our highest competing sides in the VPL, MSL and WSL.
This isn't a coaching role. It's a strategic leadership position focused on lifting on-field performance and professionalism club-wide, working across every squad rather than any single team.
Key responsibilities:
Develop and embed a unified MUSC football philosophy across all senior squads
Lead coach recruitment, appointment, review and development across the club
Maintain clear player pathways from social and masters football through to competitive squads
Set season goals and KPIs with Head Coaches, and track performance against them
Act as the club's primary football contact for Football Victoria
Support governance, compliance and budget management for the football program
Reporting: Reports to the MUSC Committee, with Head Coaches across all squads (men's, women's, masters and social) reporting to this role.
About you:
Significant experience in football coaching and/or football administration
Demonstrated leadership across multiple teams or a coaching program
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
Comfortable operating strategically rather than day to day on the training pitch
Formal coaching accreditation, experience in a volunteer-run or member-based club, existing Victorian football networks, and budget/committee reporting experience are all highly regarded
Time commitment: Across the MUSC season, with attendance at key training sessions, matches, coach review meetings and relevant Committee meetings. Specific hours and honorarium to be discussed as part of the appointment process.
Applicants should submit a CV (maximum two pages) and a cover letter (maximum one page) addressing their interest in the position. All applications must be sent to admin@musc.com.au.
Applications received via any other channel will not be considered.
