Many sports organizations are tied to venues and events, but some functions seem like they could be remote. Which areas are most likely to offer remote or hybrid work, and does location still matter for career growth?
SPMA provides a practical starting answer. Add first-hand experience, a different perspective or a useful example from the industry.
Remote and hybrid opportunities exist, but the amount of flexibility depends heavily on the function. Technology, analytics, finance, certain marketing roles and some agency work can be more location-flexible, while event operations, facilities, ticket service and team support often require regular on-site presence. Even remote roles may expect travel for games, meetings or major events. When searching, focus on the actual responsibilities rather than assuming “business-side” means remote-capable. Early-career employees may also benefit from some in-person exposure because so much learning happens through informal collaboration and event experience.
