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.
Core Responsibilities
Season Operations
- Build and manage an airtight season schedule across all divisions, gyms, and time slots
- Own team placement, division balancing, and captain onboarding from day one
- Run game nights at a premium standard: the right refs, the right setup, zero chaos
- Manage standings, stats, and weekly results with accuracy and speed
- Execute playoffs and championship events that players talk about for years
Captain & Team Experience
- Be the highest-quality point of contact captains have ever had in a rec league
- Respond fast, follow through every time, and make captains feel like they matter
- Anticipate problems before captains even notice them
- Own the retention playbook: the experience should be so good, re-signing is a no-brainer
Facilities & Logistics
- Hold gym partners to the same standard we hold ourselves
- Book and manage court time so nothing is ever scrambled or last-minute
- Show up to every game night like the venue is a reflection of the brand -- because it is
Data & Reporting
- Track registrations, capacity, and team health weekly
- Spot issues early and act on them before they become problems
- Keep leadership informed with clear, accurate updates
Requirements
Must Have
- 1+ years in operations, events, or a customer-facing role where quality was the standard
- A track record of making people feel genuinely well taken care of
- Availability for evenings and weekends - game nights are non-negotiable
- Communication that is fast, clear, and professional every time
- Genuine love for basketball and the culture around it
- Must operate as a self-employed individual and be responsible for own tax remittances and HST obligations
Nice to Have
- Background in premium sports, hospitality, or client-driven service environments
- Network in Ottawa's basketball or rec sports community
- Experience playing in or captaining a competitive rec league
