Sports Agency Jobs

Working at a sports agency: what agencies hire for

There are 30 open sports agency roles across 5 organizations.

A sports agency does two kinds of work. One side represents athletes, coaches and broadcasters: contracts, endorsements, and the day-to-day of a client's career. The other side works for brands and properties: sponsorship strategy, partnership sales, hospitality, events, and creative work built around sports.

Most posted openings are on the business side: account managers and directors, marketing and partnership roles, designers, analysts, and coordinators who support a client group. Agent jobs themselves are rarely posted. Agents usually come up through assistant and coordinator roles, or arrive with clients of their own.

The largest agencies are entertainment companies as well, so their job boards mix sports with music, film and other work. This page reads each agency's own board and keeps only the sports roles in the United States. Apply through the agency's own posting, where the role is listed first.
