Seasonal Regional Retail Lead / Salt Lake City
League One Volleyball (LOVB) is reimagining women’s sports. Launched in 2019, our company is a mission‑led sports performance, training and media enterprise that will change the game of volleyball in the USA and empower new generations of female athletes.
It is a groundbreaking time for volleyball in the US with our historic triple Olympic Gold medals in Women’s Indoor, Beach and Sitting Volleyball. Volleyball is already the #1 most played girls’ youth sport. There are 38 M current and former players today and, of major sports, it is the only one that is women‑first (~90% of players are female). The volleyball market has been almost entirely missed by traditional sports investors, brands and media.
LOVB is capturing this opportunity by creating a strong club business and, from that built‑in audience and fandom, is building the best Pro League in the world and a digital ecosystem that will connect all aspects of LOVB. This community‑up approach will drive participation and fandom while enabling greater empowerment for girls and young women living this amazing sport. In this role, you will join a mission‑driven, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves team of innovators and builders who have come together to change the paradigm of professional volleyball and women’s sports.
