Here's a job posting from the Canadian Forces who are looking to hire an Orienteering coach for the Canadian CIOR team. This person could also have a strong adventure racing background.
I did this job for many years, as did many Canadian national team members and it was decent training for them. You're on a map at least 5 days a week during the contract.
They are looking to hire the best candidate, and non-Canadians would be considered. Please remember, this is coaching adults who are officers, not boy scouts. You don't need to have short hair.
Feel free to contact me with any questions about the job.
