• Manage standings, stats, and weekly results with speed and accuracy
• Execute playoffs and championship events players will actually remember
• Own registrations and league capacity, ensuring divisions are filled, balanced, and set up for success
• Manage gym relationships and ensure every venue reflects the Brodie standard
• Keep leadership informed with clear, consistent, and actionable updates
• Be a highly responsive, reliable point of contact for captains, ensuring a smooth and consistent league experience
What We Need From You
• 1+ years in operations, events, or a customer-facing role, retail operations is strongly preferred
• Comfortable in fast-paced environments - you can think on your feet and stay calm under pressure
• Availability for evenings and weekends based on the game schedule
• Excellent organizational and time management skills
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• A passion for sport and community building
