BUILD SOMETHING SPECIAL IN TELLURIDE, COLORADO
NinjaZone & Parkour Program Director | Telluride Gymnastics
What if your next career move combined your passion for Ninja, Parkour, gymnastics, and coaching with the opportunity to live and work in one of America's most extraordinary mountain communities?
Telluride Gymnastics is searching for an exceptional NinjaZone & Parkour Program Director to lead, grow, and help shape the future of its youth movement programs in Telluride, Colorado.
This isn't simply a coaching position.
It's an opportunity for the right person to take ownership of a program, develop athletes and coaches, introduce new ideas, and build something they can be proud of—while becoming part of a close-knit mountain community.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We're looking for someone who loves working with young athletes and has a background in Parkour, NinjaZone, Ninja Warrior, gymnastics, tricking, trampoline, freerunning, or a related movement discipline.
The Program Director will have the opportunity to:
Lead and grow the NinjaZone & Parkour programs
Coach athletes through progressive skill development
Develop creative classes, camps, events, competitions, and private lessons
Mentor and develop other coaches
Build relationships with athletes, parents, and the community
Help market and expand program participation
Bring new ideas and energy to the program
Create an environment where kids develop confidence, strength, discipline, resilience, and a genuine love of movement
We're particularly interested in someone who doesn't just want to coach a program—but wants to make it their own.
WHY TELLURIDE?
Telluride offers something few career opportunities can.
Imagine finishing work and having world-class skiing, snowboarding, hiking, mountain biking, climbing, camping, and some of Colorado's most spectacular scenery practically outside your door.
This is an opportunity to pursue a meaningful professional role without giving up the outdoor lifestyle that attracts people to Colorado in the first place.
For the right person, this could be much more than a job. It could be a lifestyle change.
WHO MIGHT BE A GREAT FIT?
You may be an experienced Ninja or Parkour coach ready for your first leadership opportunity.
You may already manage a gymnastics, Ninja, recreation, or youth sports program and be looking for greater ownership.
Or you may be an accomplished athlete or coach who has always thought:
“Someday I'd like to build and lead my own program.”
That opportunity could be here.
Telluride Gymnastics is looking for someone who is passionate, positive, energetic, dependable, creative, and genuinely committed to helping young athletes succeed.
Relevant experience could include:
Parkour • NinjaZone • Ninja Warrior • Gymnastics • Tricking • Freerunning • Trampoline • Tumbling • Youth Athletics • Movement Training
MORE THAN A COACHING JOB
The right candidate will have the chance to become a highly visible leader within Telluride Gymnastics and the broader community.
The position is structured around approximately 40 hours per week during session timeframes, with opportunities for additional involvement through private lessons, events, camps, and competitions.
Compensation is intended to be competitive with the market, with additional incentives that may include a Telluride ski pass bonus and performance-based compensation.
Most importantly, we're looking for the person who sees the possibilities.
Someone who can look at an existing program and say:
“I know what we could build here.”
If that sounds like you—or if you're simply curious enough to have a confidential conversation—we'd like to talk.
PASSION. POWERFUL. POSITIVE.
