COMPANY OVERVIEW

Brodie League is more than a basketball league - it's a community. As one of North America's fastest-growing sports brands, Brodie League is redefining adult recreational basketball by delivering an elevated, professional-quality experience rooted in culture, competition, and community. Our mission is to make every league night the best night of the week for our athletes.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The League Manager is the face of Brodie on game night. This role owns the on-site execution and athlete experience at their assigned Brodie League location(s). The League Manager is accountable for ensuring game nights run smoothly, professionally, and to the Brodie Standard -- from staff readiness and game flow to player experience and issue resolution.

Every player who laces up is choosing Brodie over everything else they could be doing. The League Manager is responsible for making sure that choice feels worth it -- every single week. You anticipate problems before they surface, hold every game night to a premium standard, and treat every gym like it's a Brodie venue -- because it is.
