About the role
- The non-negotiables
- Youth sports fluency. You've worked in, for, or alongside competitive youth clubs as a coach, DOC, administrator, board member, or vendor and you have solid existing relationships. You know the difference between a rec program and a travel club, when registration opens, and who actually signs.
- A sales track record. Two or more years in a full-cycle, quota-carrying B2B sales role with documented attainment. Bring the numbers.
- Self-generated pipeline. You generate your own first meetings and you don't need someone to tell you to pick up the phone. You treat activity as the input you control.
- Real discovery skills. You lead with questions, listen more than you talk, and aren’t afraid to challenge a prospect.
- Comfort with the numbers. You can walk a club treasurer through a simple ROI story.

- Why Sprocket
- Multi-sport reach. Your network isn't capped at one sport. We sell across seven, so every relationship you have in youth sports is in play.
- A system of record, not a point tool. Clubs run their registration, payments, and operations on Sprocket. You're selling the system a club runs on, not a nice-to-have.
- Timing. Legacy platforms are sunsetting and consolidating. Clubs are being forced to re-evaluate, and that creates more real at-bats than this market has seen in years.
- Support behind the close. Solutions, implementation, and customer success teams stand behind every deal, so what you sell gets delivered.
- Sprocket Sports is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
