Want to work with us?
We're a small team building the structure that turns elite athletic talent into lasting careers. We don't hire for titles — we hire for people who understand the game and want to build something durable.
Who we look for.
Three traits, non-negotiable.
-
01
Game IQ
You read basketball — the technical layer, the culture, the politics, the business behind it. You don't need it explained.
-
02
Long Game
Careers are built over decades, not seasons. You think in trajectories, not transactions. You're patient where it counts and fast where it matters.
-
03
Builder Mindset
No playbook. You're comfortable with ambiguity, you ship more than you debate, and you raise the floor of everyone around you.
Profiles we're scouting.
Not every lane is a posted role. If your shape fits, we want to hear from you.
-
01 Talent
Player Development & Scouting
Coaches, former pros, scouts. Eye for talent, on-court credibility, and the patience to develop a player through the long arc — High School → NCAA → Pro.
-
02 Brand
Content, Image & Storytelling
Editors, directors of photography, social media leads. You think in narrative arcs, not posts. You build athlete identity that travels — across markets, across decades.
-
03 Business
Partnerships, NIL & Legal
Dealmakers, agents, lawyers. You read contracts as fast as game film. You know what a good deal looks like and what a bad one costs five years later.
-
04 Operations
Strategy & Athlete Care
Project leads, athlete-facing coordinators. The people who make the trains run on time — between coach, family, school, sponsor and player.
How to apply.
-
01
Send your tape.
A short email to contact@propulse8.com with your CV, portfolio or work samples, and one paragraph on what you're building toward.
-
02
Two conversations.
If there's a fit, we'll do a 30-min intro call followed by a working session — discussing a real problem we'd want your help on. No abstract case studies.
-
03
Trial & commit.
A short trial project — paid — so both sides see how the relationship feels at work. Then we commit. Long term.
