19 days ago
Named one of Sports Business Journals Best Places to Work in Sports (2024), Front Office Sports Most Impactful Sports Organizations (2024), Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies (2023), Athletes Unlimited is a new model of pro sports, where athletes are decision-makers and individual players are champions of team sports. Athletes Unlimited owns and operates professional women’s softball, lacrosse, volleyball and basketball leagues featuring world-class competition and fan experience and stands out as an organization driven by the athletes that play in the leagues. Athletes Unlimited is the first professional sports league to be organized as a Public Benefit Corporation.
In June 2025, AU will significantly transform and expand its softball business by launching the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL). AUSL will be a premier professional women’s softball league and will model traditional “city-based” leagues (e.g. WNBA and NWSL) with commensurate operations and commercial activities. The five-year goal is to grow AUSL aggressively by adding additional teams in 2026 and beyond, converting to a fully city-based model, bringing in team owners, and building out ancillary business, fan, and partner engagement opportunities.
Athletes Unlimited is hiring a Manager, Group & Season Ticket Sales (AUSL) to be an ambassador and sales person for AUSL and drive ticket sales while building relationships within the local and wider community. The Manager, Group & Season Ticket Sales will report to the Director, Group & Season Ticket Sales.
We provide our team of enthusiastic, collaborative innovators with a next-generation workplace with unlimited PTO, competitive health insurance, professional development opportunities, and more so that we can build the future of professional sports. Are you Unlimited?
