Community Engagement and Events Coordinator

Working at Evergreen

The ideal candidate will share a commitment to Washington State's mountain biking community and trails and believe in Evergreen's mission to make Washington the best place to ride.

The Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance was originally formed over 30 years ago in response to the need for rider advocacy and trails in the Seattle area. Now a statewide organization, we continue to rely on our volunteer trail builders and chapter leaders to deliver our organization's mission and vision, with the administrative team supporting that work. Our workplace is mostly hybrid, with an office in North Bend, WA. The team culture is centered around cross-departmental collaboration, effective communication, diligence and dedication, and maintaining a healthy balance of life and professional priorities. We are also a team of avid riders, outdoor recreationists, and lovers of our wild places.
