Athlete Outreach Expert

About the role

We're hiring an Athlete Outreach Expert to reach professional athletes and get meetings booked. You'll own the full path from first contact to a confirmed call, working with the agents, managers, publicists, and family members who control access to high-profile people. The work is remote because the athletes worth reaching are spread across leagues, cities, and time zones.

What You'll Do

• Maintain the Target List: Keep a working list of professional athletes who fit our mission, with the context on each one needed to make a credible first contact.
• Establish Contact: Reach athletes and their representation through the channels that get a response, whether that's an agent, a manager, a publicist, a family member, or a direct relationship.
• Secure Meetings: Move every promising contact from first touch to a confirmed call, owning the follow-up and the scheduling across time zones that gets it on the calendar.
• Manage the Outreach Pipeline: Track every outreach effort, conversation, and next step in an organized system so nothing goes cold and no contact slips.
• Represent the Program: Earn trust quickly with high-profile people and the people who manage their access, and explain what we do in a way that makes them want to engage.

Requirements

• Proven Ability to Reach High-Profile People: You know how to make contact with professional athletes, including who to approach, what to say, and how to work through the people who manage their access.
• A Track Record of Booked Meetings: You can point to real meetings you've set with professional athletes or comparable high-profile figures, including who, the outcome, and how you made contact.
• A Relationship-First Approach: You build access through trust, persistence, and knowing the people around the athlete, rather than sending high volumes of messages.
• Strong Follow-Up and Organization: You run a clean pipeline, you know the status of every contact, and you follow up consistently so warm leads don't go quiet.
• An Established Network or the Ability to Build One: Existing relationships with agents, agencies, managers, or athletes are a strong signal, and so is a clear ability to build that network from a standing start.
• Remote-Ready Setup: A dedicated workspace, strong internet, and the tools to manage outreach and scheduling across multiple time zones.
• Location: Remote
• Bonus Points: Sports Industry Background: Prior work inside an agency, a team, a league, or a brand that put you in regular contact with professional athletes and their representation.
• Existing Roster of Contacts: A live network of athletes, agents, or managers you can activate from day one.
• Talent or Partnership Experience: A history of booking talent, closing endorsements, or coordinating athlete appearances.
• Mission Fluency: A real understanding of youth sports and athlete development that lets you speak credibly about why an athlete should engage with us.
