Over the past 3 years we’ve had success with a very selective rotational program for elite graduates with a passion for sports and entrepreneurship. We’re expanding the program this year to hire 2 graduates to focus on our innovative sales and marketing tactics being used to drive the business.

We are looking for people who

  • Have an MBA, or Masters in Sports Business
  • Have a desire to start a company in the future
  • Have a persistent growth hacker mentality
  • Have a deep passion for using AI to create innovative solutions to solve real world problems.
  • Have an incredible ability to solve problems
  • Have the ability to shape projects and manage teams working on multiple projects at once
  • Have extreme curiosity
  • Have a Bias for Action and a get things done mentality

Over 18 months you’ll work directly under our CEO, CTO, Director of AI, and Director of Marketing. You’ll be instrumental in shaping a new paradigm in how local sports, recreation, and activities can be managed and serviced. At the end of 18 months, you’ll be promoted to a key role in the company that aligns with your strengths, interests, and career development interests. The program is designed for individuals that want to become a AI founder in the future. You’ll have extensive exposure to all aspects of Playbooks growth and development during an exciting and formative period. You’ll be given significant responsibility on an accelerated basis and you’ll be working with talented, like minded individuals within an amazing, sports obsessed culture.

Some of the things you might work on

Why You Should Be Interested:

Learning– As a part of your role you will be on multiple meetings per week with the CEO. Within our transparent culture, you will gain exposure to all parts of the business. You will also be working closely with small business owners and learn a tremendous amount from these relationships. If your ultimate goal is to start a business one day or to work in Private Equity, our role is designed for you to reach that goal at an accelerated rate.

Accelerated Growth– We have a flat, meritocratic culture. Your insights and ideas will have the potential to shape the company on day one. There is no bureaucracy, politics, or blockers to your growth here. We have a track record of rapidly promoting exceptionally talented individuals.

Financial Upside – We are generous with equity options and we are taking off like a rocket ship towards our mission of building Shopify for sports and community organizations.

Sports– If you love sports, you’ll love our culture. We have an incredible group of people that love sports here and sports are an instrumental part of our culture. Sportscasters and games are on in the office all day. We have monthly outings to VIP experiences at NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLS games.
