Who we are
Squadz is a recreational sports technology company based in San Francisco. Our mission is to make recreational sports more accessible to all, and we do that by connecting sports facilities with community members through programming and rentals via our online platform.
Whether our users are looking for basketball open gyms, soccer pickup games, or volleyball tournaments, our goal is to help our community play the sports they want, when and where they want to!
What you’ll be responsible for
We are looking for someone who can represent the Squadz brand in their community and help us share our amazing experience with users in their area. As a Squadz Ambassador, you’ll be responsible for making Squadz events & activities FUN by maintaining the right vibe, keeping players engaged, and making them feel included and active. You’re not the referee, but you’re the authority on the court or field on how things work. You have a firm grasp of the rules of the game and can explain it to any new players. You’re maintaining and promoting the beloved Squadz culture that players will keep coming back to.
During the application process, you’ll be able to select your city, preferred sport(s), and availability!
