League Manager (New York)

Brodie Rec League•Freeport, NY

17h•Onsite

About The Position

The League Manager runs a Brodie League location end to end, reporting to a District Manager. On game nights, the manager leads the floor crew and ensures every game starts on time, is on brand, and meets the Brodie Standard. During the rest of the week, the manager handles payroll, scheduling, league health, captain communication, and outreach to attract and retain teams. In new or smaller markets, the manager partners with a City Launcher to grow the league while operating it. The role calls for a people leader who can create a welcoming, professional-quality experience for athletes and run recurring operations through reliable systems. Roughly half the work week is administrative. The manager works independently on non-game days and keeps progress visible to the District Manager through the CRM, the Season Success Checklist, and weekly check-ins.

Requirements

At least 3 years of experience leading people, including hiring, scheduling, correcting, and developing a team of three or more in restaurants, hospitality, retail, fitness, events, or sports operations.
Experience holding a team to standards and describing the team's outcomes, not only individual contributions.
Proven ownership of a recurring operation, such as a weekly shift, location, program, or season, run through systems; ability to take responsibility when things go wrong and make changes to prevent recurrence.
Warmth and presence to make athletes feel welcomed and remembered.
A real relationship with basketball and the local community through playing, coaching, refereeing, organizing, or captaining.
Commitment to this full-time role as the only job.
Availability for game nights, roughly 6 p.m. to midnight multiple nights a week, including weekends; availability and reachability roughly 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on non-game weekdays; and willingness to work the league rather than play in it on game nights.
Residence in or near the market and ability to work on site at assigned Brodie venues every game night.
Reliable transportation to move brand fixtures and equipment.
Comfort with outreach and follow-up, ability to convert verbal interest into paid registrations, and willingness to log activity.
Ability to attend training and check-ins with the District Manager and HQ team as required.

Nice To Haves

Having played in a Brodie League or knowing it well as an athlete.
A network in the local basketball or recreational sports community.
Experience with CRM, payroll, timesheet, or scheduling tools.
Ability to adopt new tools quickly, including PlayerOne, Rippling, and Slack.

Responsibilities

Schedule, brief, lead, rotate, and coach the game-night floor crew, typically 10–15 people and up to 20 at the busiest venues; maintain standards and document or escalate performance issues.
Set up the gym according to the site map, conduct the pre-game Launch Meeting, ensure games start on time and stream live, resolve disputes, and complete scoresheets, photo verification, and reporting within four hours of the final game.
Welcome captains and athletes, respond to player and captain messages within 24 hours, and follow up on complaints within 48 hours.
Meet retention and growth targets by re-signing returning teams, converting players, generating referrals and ambassador teams, and reaching out to captains, lapsed teams, and personal networks; log outreach in the CRM.
Partner with the City Launcher on growth in new or smaller markets and help new teams return for subsequent seasons.
Build and manage the season in PlayerOne, including scheduling regular-season games, playoffs, and all-star events; balancing divisions; onboarding captains; rostering free agents; and managing jerseys, equipment, and court bookings.
Review and approve staff timesheets and payroll in Rippling, maintain accurate stats and standings, and ensure athletes settle overdue balances before playing.
Work independently on non-game days, keep work visible to the District Manager through the CRM, Season Success Checklist, and weekly check-ins, and raise problems early with a plan.
Partner with the District Manager to hire, train, and develop the crew; create checklists and handoffs so game nights meet the standard without the manager present; and advocate for additional capacity when the location sells out.
Work on site at assigned Brodie venues on game nights and travel reliably to move brand fixtures and equipment; attend training and check-ins with the District Manager and HQ team as required.
