Who's Hiring in Sports Tech: Mar 31 - Apr 7, 2026

This week in sports tech, the hiring market is buzzing with 921 open roles across a mix of industry giants, fast-growing startups, and innovative platforms. Whether you're a retail operations pro, a performance marketing specialist, or a software engineer with a passion for gaming, there’s no shortage of opportunities to break into—or level up in—the sports and active lifestyle space. Let’s dive into the companies leading the charge and what their hiring sprees signal about the future of the industry.

The Biggest Movers: Who’s Staffing Up Fast

Alo Yoga tops the charts this week with 40 open roles, a clear sign that the athleisure brand is aggressively expanding its retail footprint. Most of the openings are for Store Managers, Sales Associates, and Operations Associates, with postings spanning global hotspots like Sydney, Los Angeles, and Dublin. Alo’s push into brick-and-mortar suggests confidence in omnichannel growth, even as e-commerce remains a cornerstone. For job seekers, this is a prime moment to join a brand that’s blending wellness, fashion, and community-driven retail.

Solidscore and NBCUniversal are tied for second place, each with 39 openings. Solidscore, a rising star in performance training and studio experiences, is hiring heavily for Training Managers and Studio Experience Leads across the U.S. Their focus on regional roles (e.g., Georgia, North Carolina, and West LA) hints at a strategic push to scale their in-person training model. Meanwhile, NBCUniversal’s openings span sports research, performance marketing, and photojournalism, reflecting the media giant’s investment in digital content and localized sports coverage—especially for Telemundo’s Arizona market.

Rounding out the top five, Brooks Running (29 openings) and On (27 openings) are doubling down on global expansion. Brooks is hiring for VP of US Wholesale, Trade Compliance Manager (APAC), and Technical Representatives in Spain, signaling a push into international markets. On, the Swiss performance brand, is focused on retail talent acquisition, key account services, and apparel merchandising, suggesting they’re building teams to support their growing direct-to-consumer and wholesale channels.

Emerging Patterns: What’s Heating Up

This week’s data reveals a few key trends for job seekers to watch:

• Retail and Studio Experience Roles Are Booming: Alo Yoga, Solidscore, and On are all hiring aggressively for in-person roles, from store managers to training leads. This suggests that despite the rise of e-commerce, brands are betting big on immersive, community-driven experiences to drive loyalty.
• Gaming and Sports Tech Are Colliding: Riot Games (20 openings) and Roblox (17 openings) are staffing up for content production, technical art, and safety experience roles. Riot’s focus on Wild Rift and Teamfight Tactics hints at a push to expand their mobile and tactical gaming ecosystems, while Roblox’s openings in agentic data experience and safety reflect their commitment to scaling user-generated sports and fitness content.
• Health and Performance Tech Is Still Hot: Whoop (23 openings) is hiring for trade marketing, talent marketing, and risk/compliance, showing they’re not just selling wearables—they’re building a full-fledged ecosystem around recovery and performance. Meanwhile, Charlie Health (22 openings) is expanding its mental health services for athletes, with roles like Territory Manager (Arizona) and Employer Partnerships Lead.

Where Should Job Seekers Focus?

If you’re targeting enterprise-level stability, NBCUniversal, Brooks Running, and On offer roles with clear career growth paths, especially in marketing, operations, and international expansion. For those who thrive in fast-paced, startup-like environments, Solidscore, Whoop, and Charlie Health are scaling rapidly and likely offer more flexibility (and risk) in exchange for impact.

Gamers and tech talent should keep an eye on Riot Games and Roblox, where contract and full-time roles in content production, technical art, and safety are in high demand. And if you’re passionate about retail or studio experiences, Alo Yoga and Solidscore are building teams that bridge the gap between digital and in-person engagement—perfect for candidates who want to shape the future of active lifestyle brands.

With 921 openings across these companies, now’s the time to tailor your applications to the roles that align with your skills and growth goals.
