JOIN OUR TEAM: VENUE PARTNERSHIPS REPRESENTATIVE
Keep the Dream Alive. It’s a simple statement that means so much to thousands of LUG Athletes playing in our recreational sports leagues across North America. LUG started as a way for young adults to keep playing the sport they loved in recreational and competitive settings long after minor sports programming ended. From our original roots as a small 6 team hockey league, we have grown into one of the largest adult sports leagues with over 25,000 players across 60+ cities.
With a focus on creating a strong, competitive, inclusive community, and delivering exceptional experiences both on and off the field of play, LUG is the ticket that students, adults, and alumni need for all of their sport and social needs.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We’re looking for a hungry, organized, and resourceful Venue Partnerships Representative to help us secure the best sports facilities (inventory) across North America. This role sits at the intersection of sales and operations, working closely with both teams to source and lock in rinks, courts, fields, and more. Whether it’s finding prime-time ice in Winnipeg or turf in Boston, you’ll help make our leagues possible by building relationships, negotiating rates, and managing the full pipeline of facility outreach.
We want the experience for our players to be Professional grade, and that means playing at the same facilities as the Pros—because how cool would it be to play softball at Fenway?
This is a fast-moving, high-impact, commissioned role where your ability to keep deals organized and moving forward will directly affect our success. You’ll be helping to build the backbone of every league we run. The role is ideal for someone eager to grow alongside the business and carve out a long-term path at LUG.
