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.

You stay on top of the details. Salesforce is always current, proposals go out on time, and follow-ups happen without reminders. You're not someone who needs to be managed; you manage yourself and your pipeline with precision. You see the big picture across multiple product lines and know how to align product conversations with team renewal cycles. You build genuine relationships with decision-makers at professional teams and leverage your network to create opportunities, not just wait for them. You're energized by owning relationships with teams across an entire vertical and representing Teamworks at major events as the primary face of the organization in emerging professional sports markets. You don't need prior sales experience to succeed. What matters is your organizational ability, your network, and your drive to execute sales fundamentals flawlessly. You're driven by results, energized by challenge, and aligned with our values: honesty, humility, hard work, commitment, innovation, and exceptionalism.
