Working in the National Football League
The NFL runs the shortest regular season (17 games plus three playoff rounds) but generates more per-team revenue than any other major North American league. That math shapes the hiring profile: relatively small front offices by headcount, well-compensated business roles, and intense competition for the openings that do post. The 32 NFL clubs each operate a single full roster (no MLB-style minor-league system) but employ extensive personnel, scouting, coaching, and athletic-training departments. The NFL League Office (based in New York) is itself a major employer with hundreds of staff across football operations, media, partnerships, and league administration.
NFL hiring spikes follow the league calendar. The biggest waves come post-draft in May–June (teams build out coaching support, video, scouting, and football-ops staff before training camp) and again in July–August around training camp. The offseason (late January through March) is a quieter hiring window for football-ops roles but a major one for business and corporate functions as teams plan the upcoming year. Communications, partnership activation, and game-day operations hire heavily in August–September leading into the regular season.

How NFL teams post jobs
NFL teams use a mix of applicant tracking systems with no league-wide standard. The most common platforms across the 32 clubs are Workday (used by many larger-market and corporate-structured teams), Teamwork Online (the sports-industry legacy platform, common across the NFC and AFC clubs), ADP Workforce Now (common across several clubs), iCIMS, Paylocity, and Paycom. The NFL League Office runs on Workday. A handful of teams use Greenhouse or BambooHR.
Because the NFL only posts a fraction of its openings publicly relative to MLB or NBA, and because front-office roles often get filled through internal networks or recruiter outreach before they hit a careers page, the postings that do appear publicly are typically high-volume business-side and operations roles, plus seasonal and game-day positions. SportsCareers indexes everything that is publicly posted from every NFL team's ATS into one feed.
Compensation reality
NFL business and operations compensation is generally the highest of the four major leagues by mid-career and above, driven by the league's per-team revenue. Entry-level operations and marketing roles still start in the $45,000–$60,000 range. Mid-level (manager / senior associate) runs $80,000–$120,000. Director $130,000–$200,000; VP $200,000–$400,000+ at major-market clubs. Premium-sales roles can produce strong commission earnings ($60,000–$110,000 OTE at the associate level) given high suite and corporate-package pricing. Football-ops salaries below the GM level vary widely by team; cap analysis and football administration roles run mid-to-senior corporate ranges. Full breakdown in the salary guide.
