Sales and Marketing Coordinator

Sales & Marketing Coordinator

Chicago Built Athletics (CBA) | Downtown Chicago | Full-Time | $17/hr + Performance-Based Commission

Chicago Built Athletics is a multi-sport youth development organization serving athletes ages 4–18 in downtown Chicago. We're launching our inaugural Spring Flag Football League on April 3rd, expanding our Club Basketball Program, and rolling out Summer Camps — and we're hiring our first full-time Sales & Marketing Coordinator to help build and scale the brand.

This is a ground-floor opportunity with a growing organization and significant upside. Your income grows as our athlete base grows.

Compensation

• $17/hour base pay (~$35,000 annually)
• $15 commission per new athlete registration
• Performance bonuses based on current athletes registering for additional leagues, camps, or training sessions

Based on projected enrollment across spring, summer, and year-round programming, realistic first-year earning potential is $75,000+, with six-figure upside for high performers as programs scale.

What You'll Do

You'll be the driving force behind registrations across all CBA programs — both new athletes and returning families. This role requires digital execution and grassroots hustle in equal measure.

Growth Marketing

• Build and run our social media presence — organic content, paid campaigns, and community engagement
• Plan and execute email marketing and digital ad campaigns, using AI tools to sharpen targeting, content, and performance
• Create contests, giveaways, and referral campaigns that drive word-of-mouth growth
• Continuously test messaging, channels, and strategies — then double down on what works

Community & Partnerships

• Build relationships with schools, youth organizations, community centers, and residential buildings in downtown Chicago
• Develop sponsorship and partnership opportunities
• Connect with local bloggers, influencers, and parent communities (online and in person)
• Support press outreach and local media coverage

Who You Are

• Competitive and results-driven — you want your income tied to your output
• Tech-savvy and comfortable picking up new tools quickly (including AI)
• A strong communicator who's equally comfortable behind a screen and in front of people
• Self-motivated and organized enough to manage multiple campaigns and relationships at once
• Genuinely interested in sports, youth development, or building something from the ground up

No prior marketing experience required. We care more about drive, coachability, and execution ability than a résumé. You'll learn fast, and you'll have direct access to leadership every step of the way.

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a corporate marketing job. This is a startup growth role where your performance directly impacts revenue and community impact.

You'll work side by side with CBA's leadership team and have a real path to grow into a senior marketing or growth leadership role as we expand into additional sports, leagues, camps, and facilities across Chicago.

If you're ambitious and want to build something — we want to hear from you.
