Job description
Our team is looking for individuals highly connected and passionate in the hockey world that are seeking to make a difference with up & coming hockey prospects. Visionary Sports and Development works closely with high potential student athletes from the Bantam ranks right through to the WHL, NCAA & Pro levels. We value creativity, work ethic and big-picture thinking in team members and are working to identify prospective Consultants who can advise athletes & families with detailed knowledge within the hockey world.
The ideal candidate is looking to build a career within our ranks and to help lay the foundation for a game-changing experience and service. We believe Visionary Sports and Development provides a unique approach to guiding & supporting student athletes in the hockey world, because of our hands-on & personal connection to each client we work alongside. New Consultants will be expected to take the same "client-first" mentality and to look for new ways to bring a superior level of service & experience to the table.
Athletic Consultants day to day activities will include:

• Networking and building strong hockey relationships from the minor hockey ranks right through to the WHL, NCAA & U Sports level (with leadership guidance)
• Identifying, researching and recruiting high caliber hockey prospects interested in pursuing Junior or Collegiate hockey
• Effectively onboarding all new clients and working directly with families to provide well-rounded support, guidance and information pertaining to the student athlete's process
• Working hand-in-hand with the Visionary leadership group to create exposure, opportunities and additional experiences for each hockey client
• Organizing and executing team events, camps, ice times, showcases, etc
• Identifying new marketing or business development opportunities for Visionary Sports

We are entering a very exciting stage as a company, as we will be expanding throughout Western Canada and pursuing new Eastern Canadian opportunities. If you are looking for a sports career and an opportunity to make a difference working directly with high-potential hockey players, this is the role for you! Our core values regarding our team members focus on:

• Great Training

Just like any role with plenty of opportunity for advancement and increased responsibilities, we have certain expectations for our team members. Prospective Consultants should be extremely professional, detail-oriented, efficient with their time management and accountable for all actions. Because our team has a certain level of independence & flexibility, we have a high bar set for everyone.
We are looking for a candidate BASED IN ALBERTA (preferably the Edmonton area) at this point in time, but will have other openings in the near future. Features like Hockey TV, In Stat, HUDL and others can be used for analyzing prospective clients, but we do also want our people at the arenas & scouting in person.
Compensation is a blend of base salary, commission and bonuses, dependent on performance. As we continue to grow, we believe in valuing our people and giving them every opportunity to succeed. If our team thrives, our clients thrive and our company continues to have an opportunity to make a difference!
