Role Summary
Fanatics Collectibles is building the future of sports collecting — and the leaders we hire will define what that looks like. Based in New York City, this is a relationship management role where you will own and grow our strategic talent network referral program, build and steward a world-class talent bench, and drive full-cycle recruitment for selected VP+ leadership roles. Success in this role will be driven by the quality of the relationships and talent networks you cultivate.
You are a strategic relationship builder and trusted advisor who takes a consultative approach to identifying the right talent for Fanatics Collectibles. You’ll manage executive referrals, keep an engaged bench of candidates mapped across every key function, and work with stakeholders who will expect you to learn our business and have a point of view on the talent we bring into the organization.
What You'll Own
Referral Management
- Own, evolve, and grow the top-performer referral program — a key driver of our hiring network strategy. This is not a passive intake process: you actively cultivate referral sources, network them through Collectibles, and hold the program to a high standard.
