WNBA Jobs

Working in the WNBA: expansion teams and where the jobs are

There are 10 open WNBA roles across 3 organizations.

The WNBA is in an expansion period. New teams are joining the league, and each one staffs a front office from the ground up. Existing teams are growing too, with larger sales, partnership, and content groups than they carried a few years ago.

Most openings are on the business side: ticket sales and service, corporate partnerships, marketing, social and content, community relations, and game operations. Basketball operations roles such as scouting, video, and player development exist at every team but are few and competitive.

Many WNBA teams share an owner and staff with an NBA team, so some roles are posted by the NBA team's parent company and cover both teams. It is worth checking both. Realistic entry points are sales and service roles, game-night and seasonal positions, and internships. Apply directly to each team, where these roles post first.

Frequently asked questions

What jobs do WNBA teams hire for?

Mostly business roles: ticket sales and service, corporate partnerships, marketing, social and content, community relations, and game operations, plus a small number of basketball operations roles in scouting, video, and player development.

Do WNBA teams hire separately from NBA teams?

Some do and some do not. Independently owned teams run their own careers pages. Teams that share an owner with an NBA team often post through the parent company, where one role may cover both teams.

How do I get an entry-level WNBA job?

Ticket sales and service roles, game-night and seasonal positions, and internships are the usual ways in. Expansion teams hire many roles at once in the year before they start play.
