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.

The League Manager is the operational core of the Brodie League. You’re the person captains rely on, the reason game nights run seamlessly, and the standard every league night is held to. You anticipate problems before they surface, hold every game night to a premium standard, and treat every gym like it reflects the Brodie brand.

This is a hands‑on, varied role ideal for someone who enjoys being in the middle of live action, is deeply involved in league operations, and is looking to build a long‑term career within a growing sports organization.

• 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, 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

• 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

• 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

• 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

Must have:

• 1+ years in operations, events, or a customer‑facing role where quality was the standard
• Reliable access to transportation sufficient to transport brand fixtures and equipment to the league venue
• 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

Nice to have:

• Background in premium sports, hospitality, or client‑driven service environments
• Network in Calgary's basketball or rec sports community
• You've played in or captained a competitive rec league
• Experience managing vendors, facilities, or partner relationships
• Must operate as a self‑employed individual and be responsible for own tax remittances and HST obligations

This is an independent contractor engagement, not an employment relationship. As an independent contractor in Manitoba, you will be responsible for your own income tax remittances, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contributions, and HST registration and remittance where applicable. You will not be entitled to benefits under Manitoba's Employment Standards Act, 2000 (ESA), including vacation pay, public holiday pay, overtime pay, or statutory notice of termination.

This engagement will be governed by a written independent contractor agreement, which will include the applicable notice period for termination of the contract. The true nature of this working relationship will be assessed based on the actual circumstances of the engagement. Prospective contractors are encouraged to seek independent legal or financial advice prior to entering into this arrangement.

Artificial intelligence may be used in the recruitment and selection process, including to screen, assess, or evaluate applicants.
