City Launcher (Vancover)
About The Position
As a City Launcher, you plant the flag. You open your market end to end - securing the facility, recruiting founding captains and free agents, building the local buzz, and running the launch season. And then you stay. You are the face of Brodie in your city: at every game night, at open runs, in the group chats, known by name by the captains and players who make the league what it is. This is not a hand-it-off-and-move-on role. You validate the market, prove the model, and grow it season over season - then add cities to your territory as your track record earns them. Performance bonuses are tied to how successful each season is. You will work closely with leadership across operations, growth, brand, and people, and help build the repeatable launch playbook every future Brodie city will run on. This role is ideal for someone who: Wants to own a city rather than a line on a territory spreadsheet. Can sell end to end, from a cold call with a gym owner to a handshake with a founding captain. Is plugged into local basketball - parks, programs, coaches, run culture, etc. Is energized by fast-moving startup environments. Wants a real path to running multiple cities, a state, or a country as we grow. Is excited to help shape a category-defining brand.

Responsibilities

- Identify gyms and facilities within your territory, then negotiate and lock in the right venue.

- 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.

- Show up where the game already lives - leagues, tournaments, pickup, and local events - and bring Brodie into those rooms.

- Build genuine relationships with captains and players to drive retention and season-over-season re-registration.
