About this role:

Crimson Education is growing our Athletic Recruitment division and seeking sport-specific Athletic Strategy Consultants with a passion for coaching, mentoring, and supporting the next generation of collegiate student-athletes.

For the right candidate, there is also potential to take on a Sport Lead role — managing the full sales and service pipeline within your sport, while also providing strategic support to student-athletes. 

This is a contract-based, fully remote role with flexible hours and client load (10-20 hours to begin with). The hybrid position is ideal for those who bring both domain expertise and commercial or leadership capability. There is potential for a full-time role in the future.

What are the key responsibilities for this role? 

1. Service Delivery

• Provide strategic 1:1 support to student-athletes within your sport, building meaningful mentoring relationships over time.
• Meet with each student-athlete regularly (typically every 3–6 weeks, depending on program stage and timeline).
• Offer tailored feedback on athletic development, recruitment positioning, and highlight video structure.
• Guide student-athletes through NCAA/eligibility requirements, training and competition planning, and coach communications.
• Recommend the right camps, showcases, and competitions to elevate visibility.
• Help student-athletes define realistic recruitment plans and stay accountable throughout the process.
• Maintain communication with families and provide progress updates as appropriate.

2. Business Development & Pipeline Leadership- 

• Own the top-to-bottom pipeline in your sport: from new lead evaluation to client onboarding and performance tracking. 
• Execute the Crimson sales model, including collaboration with SDRs, attending intro calls, triaging enquiries, supporting sales conversion. 
• Lead client evaluations, offering insight into athlete readiness and realistic recruitment opportunities. 
• Support referral and partner development — particularly where you have existing coaching or academy connections.

What skills and experiences are required for this role? 

• Experience playing or coaching at a top US college.
• A strong understanding of the college recruiting process — ideally with sport-specific insights.
• Proven ability to hustle: you’re proactive, resourceful, and don’t wait for someone else to solve the problem.
• Attention to detail: regardless of the task, you care enough to get it right.
• Comfort owning outcomes — both in student performance and sales. You take responsibility and follow through.
• Strong communication skills — able to build trust with students, parents, and coaches.
• A genuine passion for mentorship and belief in the power of sport to change lives.
• Overall, you have excitement to contribute to a fast-moving, entrepreneurial team — this is a fast-growing team within a global startup, and we’re building something big.

Crimson Team Expectations:

• Prioritize establishing meaningful, supportive, mentoring relationships with students.
• Deliver elite, highly personalized service to students and their families.
• Maintain alignment with the rest of the Crimson team so that the student’s progress and school alignment is understood.
• Actively contribute to the development and evolution of Crimson’s Athletics services.
