The Opportunity
This is a rare chance to bring world-class strength and conditioning technology to the teams that need it most. As an Account Executive for Teamworks Strength & Conditioning, you'll own sales across North America's professional sports landscape and National Governing Bodies (NGBs). From NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB franchises to USA Swimming, USA Track & Field, and Olympic sports organizations, you're not just selling software; you're solving real problems for strength coaches, sports scientists, and performance directors who are hungry for better ways to optimize athlete development, manage training loads, and make data-driven decisions that impact wins and losses.
Backed by Teamworks' Performance ecosystem (AMS, Nutrition, EMR, S&C), you'll build your territory from the ground up, establishing yourself as the go-to partner for elite performance organizations. Your background as a practitioner gives you instant credibility: you speak the language, you've lived the workflows, and you understand what coaches actually need. This isn't a transactional sales role; it's a consultative partnership where your expertise drives both revenue and genuine impact on how teams train, compete, and win.
This is your opportunity to build something meaningful while scaling with one of the fastest-growing companies in sports tech.
