Account Executive, Club & Youth Sports

Playon is expanding into the fast-growing club and youth sports space, and we’re looking for a results-driven Account Executive to help us lead the charge. If you're energized by building something from the ground up and want to play a key role in opening a new market, this is your moment.

As the Account Executive for Club & Youth Sports, you’ll be responsible for developing new business in an emerging vertical. You’ll prospect and close partnerships with tournament organizers, club directors, and venue operators across the U.S., introducing them to industry-leading event management products from Playon. You'll own the full sales cycle, from outreach to onboarding, while helping define best practices and go-to-market strategy in a space with massive growth potential.

You’re a self-starter with a hunter mentality and a track record of outbound sales success. You thrive in fast-moving environments, love identifying new opportunities, and can build trust quickly with decision-makers. You bring strong communication skills, natural curiosity, and a deep understanding of what it takes to grow early-stage business lines. Bonus points if you have experience in the sports, events, or SaaS industries.
