About The Position

Rose City Rollers is the largest roller derby league in the world, serving 400+ skaters and hosting 60+ events each year. Our mission is to serve women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals who want to play the team sport of roller derby, connect with an inclusive community, and realize their power both on skates and off. A strong connection to this mission is essential to succeed in this role. We’re in a period of transition—refocusing our work, simplifying where needed, and building a more sustainable future. This role brings together marketing and development into one leadership position responsible for driving revenue and growing engagement across the organization. You’ll lead a small team and oversee the systems that power how we attract fans, fill events, build partnerships, and generate income—from ticket sales to sponsorships to merchandise and more. This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys both strategy and execution, and who can connect a lot of moving pieces into something focused and effective.
