About The Position

As a City Launcher, you will be responsible for opening and managing a new market end-to-end.

• Strong outbound and relationship-building skills, and comfort generating your own pipeline from a standing start.
• Experience managing conversations from first touch through close.
• Strong communication and presentation skills - equally credible with a facility owner and with a group of players in a gym.
• Highly self-motivated and comfortable operating autonomously.
• Ability to thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments.
• Real passion and expertise for basketball, sports culture, and community.
• Technologically savvy - tech fuels our growth, you need to have strong tech acumen.
• Based in your launch market, with travel across your territory as it expands.
• Availability on evenings and weekends.

Nice To Haves

• An existing network in the local basketball community - programs, coaches, parks, run groups, or tournaments.
• Experience in startup or high-growth environments.
• Background in sports, events, hospitality, fitness, lifestyle, or entertainment industries.
• Experience running social media for a local brand, venue, team, or community.
• Experience building or improving sales and go-to-market processes.
• Familiarity with CRM and pipeline management systems (i.e. HubSpot, etc.).
• Experience selling partnerships, sponsorships, memberships, or experiential products/services.
• Experience managing people, a venue, or a location

Responsibilities

• Own the full launch cycle in your market, from first cold outreach through to a sold-out opening night.
• Identify gyms and facilities within your territory, then negotiate and lock in the right venue.
• Build relationships with gym owners, local businesses, brands, community organizations, and strategic partners.
• Recruit and secure a minimum of 24 founding captains per league, plus a healthy pool of free agents, to establish strong early community engagement and league success.
• Manage your location’s social page in the lead-up to launch - building the following, the anticipation, and the local waitlist before night one.
• Develop outbound strategies across email, phone, LinkedIn, DMs, networking, & events.
• Validate the market with real numbers - demand, pricing, fill rate, waitlist - so leadership can decide where Brodie goes next.
• Tap into local basketball programs, coaches, high schools and colleges, rec centres, parks, open gyms, community centres, barbershops, and small businesses to source captains and teams.
• Host open runs that turn curious players into free agents, free agents into teams, and teams into returning captains.
• Promote and drive the referral program so captains and players become your largest recruiting channel.
• Recruit and place free agents onto teams so nobody who wants to play gets left out.
• Show up where the game already lives - leagues, tournaments, pickup, and local events - and bring Brodie into those rooms.
• Track pipeline activity and performance metrics in CRM so recruitment is forecastable, not lucky.
• Attend game nights in your market. You are the face of Brodie in your city.
• Build genuine relationships with captains and players to drive retention and season-over-season re-registration.
• Build relationships with fans, families, and spectators so game night becomes a community rather than a booking.
• Monitor the health of your league in-season - retention, team count, waitlist, feedback.
• Partner closely with Operations on game-night execution while retaining ownership of growth, revenue, and community in your market.
• Earn the right to expand: stabilize your market, then help launch and oversee adjacent cities as your territory grows.
• Help create the repeatable launch playbook, outreach cadences, and grassroots recruitment strategies every future Brodie city will use.
• Continuously test and improve messaging, outreach, and conversion strategies.
• Contribute ideas around positioning, packaging, pricing, and go-to-market strategy.
• Act as an ambassador for Brodie within your community and build authentic relationships that align with Brodie’s culture and energy.
• Bring a high-energy, people-first presence to every interaction.

Benefits

• Highly competitive pay and uncapped commission
• Significant growth & mentorship opportunities
• Professional development budget
• Play Brodie League for free
• Opportunity to work for an organization at the intersection of sports, fashion, & tech
