Type: Independent Contractor

Location: Ottawa, ON

Pay Rate: $25.00 CAD / Hour

Reports To: District Manager

Company Overview

50,000 athletes. 20 locations. Millions of views.

Brodie League is more than a basketball league - it's a community. As one of North America's fastest-growing sports brands, Brodie League is redefining adult recreational basketball by delivering an elevated, professional-quality experience rooted in culture, competition, and community. Our mission is to make every league night the best night of the week for our athletes.

Role Overview

The League Manager is the operational backbone of Brodie. You're the person captains trust, the reason game nights run like clockwork, and the standard every other rec league quietly wishes they could hit. This isn't a clipboard-and-whistle role - it's a builder role. Every player who laces up is choosing Brodie over everything else they could be doing. The League Manager is responsible for making sure that choice feels worth it - every single week. You anticipate problems before they surface, hold every game night to a premium standard, and treat every gym like it's a Brodie venue - because it is.
