The Opportunity

Our Sports branch is looking for a Senior Athlete Manager to sit at the heart of athlete relationships, brand strategy, and commercial growth intersect. This is a high-impact opportunity for someone who understands athletes not just as talent, but as brands, businesses, and long-term growth stories. We’re looking for a senior person who can step into meaningful athlete relationships, help drive partnership strategy, and play a real role in shaping the future of the branch. This is a major seat on the team. This person will work closely with some of our most important athletes, helping guide their day-to-day management, brand positioning, partnership development, and overall trajectory. This is a role for someone who brings taste, instinct, credibility, and the kind of relationship skills that make athletes and partners trust you quickly.

Reporting to our Associate Director, Sports, this person will be a key contributor to the next chapter of our sports unit. You will help strengthen how we support hero talent, how we think about partnership opportunities, and how we continue building a branch with serious ambition across North America. For the right person, this is a chance to take everything you know about sports, talent, partnerships, and digital visibility - and apply it in a more direct, influential, and career-defining way.

Attend shoot days, events, and other athlete-facing moments when needed to ensure strong execution, support talent on the ground, and maintain a high standard of service

Contribute to the broader strategic direction of the sports branch by identifying whitespace, new opportunities, and ways to continue elevating the roster
