Equestrian Canada (EC) is looking to set up Canada’s high-performance athletes for success in the lead up to Paris 2024 by hiring its next Technical Advisor (TA), Jumping. EC has released its newly developed job description for the role, which includes the responsibility as Chef d’Equipe for Team Canada’s celebrated show jumpers.

“Riding for your country is the greatest honour in equestrian sport,” said EC’s Manager of Jumping, Karen Hendry-Ouellette. A former national team show jumper herself; she knows what it takes to compete at the highest levels of the sport. “We have worked really hard to begin planning for Paris and Los Angeles. In keeping with best practices of the quadrennial cycle, we began a positional review process to coincide with the Tokyo Olympics.”

The review of the position was completed by an external specialist firm that conducted technical interviews and gathered input from jumping discipline experts, high performance committee members, National Team athletes, owners, and the team’s former Chef d’Equipe, Mark Laskin. Fully informed, EC developed a robust job description that is now open for candidates to apply.
