Job description
Leland is building the home for ambition in the age of AI. We connect people with the experts, programs, and communities they need to land the job, get into the school, or upskill for a world being rewritten by AI. We help businesses become AI-native through training, hiring, and infrastructure. Since our founding in 2021, we've helped tens of thousands of people reach their most ambitious goals and raised $19M from world-class investors. Ambition is sacred to us, and we've built a product that takes that seriously.
We're seeking an experienced sports management coach to work with students and professionals pursuing careers in sports business. This role includes teaching core skills in athlete representation, contract negotiation, sponsorship strategy, and sports marketing, as well as event management, facility management, fan engagement, media relations, sports analytics, sports law, and brand development. Coaches also help students build these capabilities through consistent, practical skill building, and support the career side of the journey, including resume review, cover letters, LinkedIn review, interview prep, and salary negotiation, as well as networking strategy and freelancing for those pursuing independent work. Ideal candidates have professional experience in sports management, prior coaching or mentoring experience, and a clear, structured approach to breaking down business and strategic concepts within the sports industry. Coaches set their own hours and rates, host sessions virtually, and partner with our team to deliver a high-quality, supportive experience for every student.
