You: A partnerships guru, with a love of travel and sports and a desire to set the direction of your career in the startup industry. You will develop and cultivate relationships with partners across travel, tourism and international student networks, from travel agencies to backpacker groups and everything in between. This includes direct client relations to developing marketing and communication strategies to growing international visitors that use the SportsHosts platform while collaborating closely with our marketing team. We value quality over quantity. This role requires a high level of creativity, attention to detail, and good project management skills.   Us: A start-up building a world-first, global platform that enables travellers to find local sport fans to take them to a match and experience the local game day.   Our culture We don’t just celebrate diversity; we empower people to explore and embrace it. The vision is a platform that makes it possible for anyone to be a global citizen - building a network of people around the world, even if you never leave your hometown.   We’re inspired by sport’s ability to break boundaries, allowing people from all walks of life to mix freely together. And given there are more sports fans in the world than any other universal human interest it means sports fan can connect on a global scale personally, not electronically more than any other group of people in the history of the world. Think about it; that is breaking boundaries!     But it doesn’t stop there, we have taken the same theme into how we are creating our company. Building a new global social network doesn't just happen, it takes a belief that the seemly impossible is doable, how by hard work sweat and tears? Well, that is not exactly how we see it, working hard at times absolutely, but it much more than that. It is being willing to undertake a personal journey,  learning about yourself and be open to personal growth. We believe just like any athlete you don’t become the worlds best by staying the same.   Through experience we have learned being a start-up can kill you, or grow you. Growth comes from embracing challenges as opportunities, learning to remove ego as it slows creativity and growth down. And not getting overwhelmed by staying present and enjoying what is happening now rather than worrying about what happened yesterday or what may or may not happen tomorrow.   And this is not just theory, we are developing our working environment to resemble being part of a sports team, why because it is in our blood and because great sports teams achieve things others only dream about. On a practical level that means we treat every two weeks as a new match, we set a game plan and measure performance, right down to tracking every minute of our time, just like the statistics used in major sports.   That could sound scary, but it's not; it's about helping each other to make sure what we are spending our time on is important and will make a difference. Becuase in a start-up you have to be selective on what you do as you cannot do it all, and trying to only burns people out and kills success.   In short, we: Believe in growth, not control. We celebrate every win. We use sport to build doors where others are building walls. We believe that together we make the game. .   Our ideal human:

• Passionate about sports and travel
• Believes in breaking boundaries
