THE ROLE

As Pool Player Manager — Junior, you are the operational backbone of Predator's pool athlete program. The person our sponsored players call first, the one who knows their season, their equipment needs, their contract status, and their next tournament.

You work closely with the Sports Director, who leads the overall sponsorship strategy and holds direct relationships with Predator's elite and legend-tier athletes. Your job is to make the program run at the highest level by managing the active roster day to day, ensuring every commitment is honored, and representing Predator's values in every athlete interaction.

This role combines relationship management with operational execution. You own both the athlete-facing side and the logistics that make the program credible, from contract tracking to equipment fulfilment.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Athlete Relationship Management

• Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for Predator's sponsored pool athletes, men and women across all tiers
• Build trusted, long-term relationships across the full active roster from emerging pros to established competitors
• Manage athlete onboarding when new sponsorships are signed and offboarding when partnerships end
• Understand each athlete's competitive calendar, goals, equipment preferences, communication style, and stay ahead of their needs
• Handle athlete requests efficiently, escalating to the Sports Director where strategy or senior relationships are involved

Contract & Tier Management

• Own the contract tracking process for pool athletes, renewal timelines, deliverables, compliance, and documentation
• Maintain accurate athlete tier records and flag renewal opportunities or risks to the Sports Director well in advance
• Contribute athlete-level insight to tier review discussions, performance data, visibility, and partnership value

Equipment Fulfilment & Operations

• Manage the end-to-end equipment allocation process from athlete entitlement to confirmed delivery
• Coordinate with Predator's supply and warehouse teams to source, pack, and ship athlete kits
• Track all outbound shipments and resolve delivery delays or issues proactively
• Maintain the allocation tracker, every athlete, every entitlement, every delivery status
• Handle custom and personalized equipment requests, wraps, engravings, spec builds

Activation & Visibility

• Identify athlete content and activation opportunities, social moments, campaign appearances, and digital features
• Coordinate with the Media Project Manager on athlete storytelling and content scheduling
• Ensure athletes are properly equipped and branded at all public-facing moments

• Monitor the sponsorship landscape, competitor signings, available athletes, and emerging talent
• Maintain accurate and current roster data in the team's management systems
• Provide the Sports Director with a clear and reliable picture of the roster at all times

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 3 years in athlete management, sports sponsorship, talent relations, or a similar relationship-driven role
• A genuine passion for professional sport and athlete culture understanding what competitive athletes need, how they think, and what it means to represent a brand on the world stage. Knowledge of billiards or cue sports is a plus but not required
• Exceptionally strong communicator managing athletes, internal stakeholders, and partners with equal clarity and warmth
• Highly organized and operationally disciplined with contracts, renewals, equipment shipments, and athlete requests never fall through the cracks
• Comfortable working across cultures and time zones as this is a global roster spanning multiple continents and tour circuits. Fluency in more than one language is a genuine advantage and strongly valued
• Commercial awareness understanding what makes a sponsorship partnership valuable and can think beyond the immediate request
• Experience with CRM or contract management tools is a plus
• Women and candidates from underrepresented backgrounds in the sport are strongly encouraged to apply, Predator is committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of the athletes we sponsor

WHAT WE OFFER

A role that matters. The Pool Player Manager — Junior is not a coordinator with a nice title, you are the person who makes Predator's commitment to its athletes real. The work you do every day is felt on tour, in training rooms, and on the broadcast stage when a Predator athlete steps up to the table.

• Direct collaboration with a Sports Director who gives clear direction, trusts your judgment, and invests in your growth
• The chance to build relationships with some of the best pool players in the world, men and women, across every major tour
• A front-row seat to professional billiards at its highest level, events, athletes, and moments that define the sport
