The Opportunity:
The UTR Sports Team Tennis Manager (TTM) is a regional outbound facing contract role managing, recruiting, and operating a specific UTR Sports Team Tennis Leagues market in a designated city. TTMs’ goals are to build relationships with their local tennis community and drive the rapid expansion and overall success of the UTR Sports Team Tennis Leagues ecosystem in their market and on the UTR Sports platform.
This is an opportunity to leverage connections in your tennis community to generate revenue - the more you connect people and grow the game, the more you will make. It is a win-win collaboration.
As a TTM, you will focus on the overall operations and management of your designated league market; finding ways to get tennis players of all levels and ages to become more active and engaged in their tennis community. You will use your talents and enthusiasm for the game to energize the local tennis community, network with and recruit potential players, create, run, and grow team league opportunities, and communicate with local players.
Prior to the league's launch, your primary focus will be on raising awareness, generating interest, and fostering value for our customers. In this pivotal phase, your role will involve educating the community and establishing a strong presence for the UTR Sports brand. Following the launch, your responsibilities will extend to driving ongoing league growth by recruiting new players and ensuring the retention of existing participants. As the primary point of contact for all players and captains in your market, you will play a crucial role in delivering exceptional customer service and support. While you will lead the charge, rest assured that the UTR Sports Team Tennis Specialists will be readily available to provide training, assistance, and address any concerns or technical issues that may arise. With our collaborative approach, we're committed to ensuring your success every step of the way.
To thrive in this opportunity, you’ll need to influence and build strong relationships with coaches, captains, and players of all ages and levels, be a strategic thinker, be quick on your feet, as well as friendly, tech-savvy, and an amazing communicator. This role is perfect for someone with an entrepreneurial spirit who wants to control their own livelihood but keep a hand in the tennis world without having to spend all their time on the court.
What You Will Do:
- You will manage, recruit, and engage your local tennis community through UTR Sports Team Tennis Leagues and the provided technology via the UTR Sports Team Leagues Software.
- You’ll develop strong and trustworthy connections through leveraging your current tennis relationships, creative marketing, visiting local tennis facilities, and targeted outreach via phone, text, email, social media, and in-person communications.
- You will analyze league and player success and present monthly analytics reports to see if they are aligned with the UTR Sports Team Tennis League implementation plan and success thresholds.
- You’ll work closely with the UTR Sports Team Tennis Specialists to implement the strategic plan for getting players to register and continue to register in leagues on the UTR Sports platform in your specific market.
- Time commitment of 4-6 hours per week: initial software training, recruiting team captains/players, managing the league, and serving as the direct contact for captains throughout the season. This is a contracted position not a full-time role.
