About The Position

Professional sports teams across MLS, NWSL, WNBA, CFL, USL, and junior hockey are evolving fast, and we're positioned to lead them. MLS teams are building out analytics departments, NWSL franchises are professionalizing operations, WNBA organizations are investing in performance infrastructure, and teams across CFL, USL, and junior hockey are hungry for technology that delivers results. We need an Account Executive who can own this entire vertical, managing renewals and upsells while identifying new opportunities, building relationships with teams, and positioning Teamworks as the operating system for professional sports organizations across these emerging markets. You'll own existing partnerships while pioneering new opportunities with professional teams across multiple leagues. You'll be the face of Teamworks at MLS showcases, NWSL summits, and WNBA events. You'll build relationships with AGMs, performance directors, and decision-makers at teams across your territory. And you'll have the full product suite at your disposal (Operations, Performance, Intelligence, Personnel) to solve the real problems these teams face. You'll have the autonomy to shape how we grow in these markets and the opportunity to become the trusted partner for teams redefining their competitive edge.
