About the Insider Insights: Careers in the Sports Industry
Behind-the-Scenes Roles in Marketing, Strategy, and Team Operations
Curious about what it really looks like to build a career in professional sports? Wondering how skills in communication, strategy, branding, analytics, and operations translate into behind-the-scenes roles across teams and organizations?
Join Stanford CareerEd, in partnership with Cardinal Compass and the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, for an engaging panel and interactive activity featuring Stanford alumni working across the sports industry. Panelists include Stanford alumni working behind the scenes in marketing, strategy, legal, and athlete performance roles within the sports industry. Together, they represent the wide range of career paths that exist beyond playing on the field.
Through a moderated panel discussion, a hands-on “Day in the Life” activity with one panelist, and an open Q&A, students will gain insight into how these alumni navigated their paths into sports, the skills that matter most in their roles, and how to position themselves for similar opportunities.
