Foundry Sports · Neptune, NJ · Hybrid About Us
Foundry Sports creates live sports experiences — youth camps, public autograph signings, VIP access events, and live fan experiences nationwide. Athletes are the product. This role is responsible for building and managing the relationships that make events possible. The Role
You own the athlete side of the business — sourcing new talent, negotiating appearance agreements, managing ongoing relationships with athletes and their representatives, and ensuring every athlete who works with Foundry Sports has an experience worth repeating. This is part business development, part relationship management, part logistics. What You'll Own
- Build and maintain a pipeline of professional athletes across NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS, NHL, and other leagues available for signings, camps, appearances, and VIP events
- Outreach to athletes, agents, managers, and representation firms to pitch and close appearance agreements
- Negotiate and execute appearance contracts in coordination with company leadership
- Serve as the primary point of contact for athletes and their teams from agreement through event day
- Manage athlete logistics: travel, accommodations, scheduling, green room requirements, and day-of handling
- Maintain a CRM of all athlete relationships, deal history, and pipeline status
- Identify emerging athletes and NIL opportunities ahead of market demand
- Represent Foundry Sports at industry events, card shows, and networking opportunities
- 3–6 years of experience in athlete relations, talent management, sports agency, or athlete partnerships
- Existing relationships with athletes, agents, or representation firms across at least one major professional league
- Comfortable with outreach, pitching, and closing — this is not a passive relationship-maintenance role
- Experience reviewing and negotiating appearance agreements or talent contracts
- Highly organized with strong follow-through — athletes and their reps have no patience for disorganization
- Discreet, professional, and calm under pressure
- Willing to travel to events and signings as required
- Sports industry network is the most important qualification on this list
Flexible work from home options available.
