[Hiring] Athlete Outreach Expert @Texas Sports Academy Main

Role Description

We're hiring an Athlete Outreach Expert to reach professional athletes and get meetings booked. You'll own the full path from first contact to a confirmed call, working with the agents, managers, publicists, and family members who control access to high-profile people. The work is remote because the athletes worth reaching are spread across leagues, cities, and time zones.

If you've booked real meetings with professional athletes or comparable high-profile figures, and you can show how you made contact and what came of it, you're the kind of person we want to talk to. We care more about the meetings you've booked than your follower count or how many events you've attended.

What You'll Do

• Maintain the Target List: Keep a working list of professional athletes who fit our mission, with the context on each one needed to make a credible first contact.
• Establish Contact: Reach athletes and their representation through the channels that get a response, whether that's an agent, a manager, a publicist, a family member, or a direct relationship.
• Secure Meetings: Move every promising contact from first touch to a confirmed call, owning the follow-up and the scheduling across time zones that gets it on the calendar.
• Manage the Outreach Pipeline: Track every outreach effort, conversation, and next step in an organized system so nothing goes cold and no contact slips.
• Represent the Program: Earn trust quickly with high-profile people and the people who manage their access, and explain what we do in a way that makes them want to engage.

Qualifications

• Proven Ability to Reach High-Profile People: You know how to make contact with professional athletes, including who to approach, what to say, and how to work through the people who manage their access.
• A Track Record of Booked Meetings: You can point to real meetings you've set with professional athletes or comparable high-profile figures, including who, the outcome, and how you made contact.
• A Relationship-First Approach: You build access through trust, persistence, and knowing the people around the athlete, rather than sending high volumes of messages.
• Strong Follow-Up and Organization: You run a clean pipeline, you know the status of every contact, and you follow up consistently so warm leads don't go quiet.
• An Established Network or the Ability to Build One: Existing relationships with agents, agencies, managers, or athletes are a strong signal, and so is a clear ability to build that network from a standing start.
• Remote-Ready Setup: A dedicated workspace, strong internet, and the tools to manage outreach and scheduling across multiple time zones.

Location

• Remote

Bonus Points

• Sports Industry Background: Prior work inside an agency, a team, a league, or a brand that put you in regular contact with professional athletes and their representation.
• Existing Roster of Contacts: A live network of athletes, agents, or managers you can activate from day one.
• Talent or Partnership Experience: A history of booking talent, closing endorsements, or coordinating athlete appearances.
• Mission Fluency: A real understanding of youth sports and athlete development that lets you speak credibly about why an athlete should engage with us.
