About DYR Sports

At DYR Sports, we create athlete experiences that bring athletes and teams together through custom subscription boxes and partnerships. We work with volleyball and cheer programs across the country to deliver products athletes genuinely get excited about. Our team values energy, creativity, speed, and strong relationships.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a hungry, self-motivated Partnerships Associate to help grow DYR Sports by reaching out to new volleyball and cheer programs and building relationships with coaches, directors, and organizations.

This is an entry-level, outbound sales role, meaning your primary focus will be proactive outreach (cold emailing, calling, and social media messaging) to book meetings with decision-makers. You’ll also help support existing partners through renewals and upsells. This is a hybrid role based out of our Alpharetta, GA office, featuring a mix of remote work, team collaboration, and occasional travel for tournaments and events.

What You’ll Do

• Outbound Sales & Outreach: Proactively reach out to volleyball and cheer programs via phone, email, and social media to pitch DYR Sports.
• Lead Generation: Find, research, and qualify new clubs, high schools, and youth organizations to partner with.
• Meeting Booking: Focus on hitting daily and weekly outreach goals to book meetings with decision-makers (coaches, directors, and administrators).
• Relationship Management: Follow up consistently with prospects and support active partnerships throughout the season to ensure a great experience.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience: Entry-level! 0–2 years of experience in sales, customer service, retail, or sports management. This is a perfect role for a recent grad looking to break into the sports business or sales world.
• Communication: Exceptional verbal and written skills. You are highly comfortable picking up the phone and talking to new people.
• Resilience & Grit: Outbound sales takes persistence. You view a "no" as just a step closer to a "yes."
• Organization: Ability to keep track of multiple conversations, follow-ups, and partner data efficiently.
• Drive: A strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a team-first mindset.
• Bonus: Background or strong interest in youth sports, volleyball, or cheerleading.

Success in This Role Looks Like:

• Consistent daily outreach activity and hitting your pipeline goals.
• Booking high-quality meetings that turn into active DYR Sports partners.
• Staying organized, responsive, and maintaining an energetic attitude.

Why Join DYR Sports?

• Startup Growth & Access: High ownership and direct impact on company growth, with unprecedented direct access to company leadership and mentorship.
• Earn What You Build: A $50k OTE structure with uncapped commission means your earning potential matches your effort.
• Culture: A collaborative, fast-moving, and energetic team culture that is unmatched!
