POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The Biddeford Pool Yacht Club, Biddeford Pool, Maine, is seeking a General Manager. The General Manager reports to the officers of the Yacht Club, and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Yacht Club during its operating season of 14 weeks between approximately June 15th and September 15th, with full-time but somewhat lesser responsibilities between May 1 and June 15 to open the Club and between Sept. 15 and October 31 to close the club.

General responsibilities include:
- Hiring and managing subordinate seasonal launch drivers and contractors
- Opening the club in the spring and closing the club in the fall, which involves:
- Launching and hauling floats and moving club-owned boats to or from winter storage with assistance from staff or contractors
