Brand Outreach Manager

About the Role

Court Six/Five is an upcoming pickleball brand built around the idea that performance and style should go hand in hand. We are creating products that are functional, competitive, and designed for the way players actually move on and off the court.

We are looking for an energetic, people-focused Brand Outreach Manager to help introduce Court Six/Five to the market and build meaningful connections with customers, ambassadors, partners, and the pickleball community. This role sits at the intersection of brand, marketing, partnerships, and growth. It is ideal for someone who loves building relationships, representing a brand with confidence, and helping shape how a new company shows up in the world.

The right person will be just as comfortable connecting with players and partners at events as they are helping execute outreach initiatives, support collaborations, and keep brand communication consistent across every touchpoint. This is an opportunity to play a key role in growing a new brand from the ground up.
