Since the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, the way people work has dramatically shifted, with companies increasingly offering some form of work-from-home jobs. While the sports industry is somewhat insulated from this trend, given the need to be present at events, remote sports jobs are available. Jared in Portland, Oregon, has enjoyed the shift to remote work and is looking for advice on finding work-from-home sports jobs from the WorkInSports Podcast:
“Hey Brian – I love working remote. I know it doesn’t work for everyone, but for me, it is a dream scenario. I know most of us HAD to do it during COVID, but now a lot of us WANT to do it. Is this an option in the sports industry, and if so, how do I find these jobs and get them?”According to a Stanford study, 13% of full-time employees had fully remote work-from-home jobs in January 2023. As of May 8, 497 (2.3%) of the 22,000 openings on WorkInSports were completely remote sports jobs nationwide, indicating an uphill climb in obtaining one compared to other industries.
Bear in mind that most full-time roles in the sports industry require an on-site presence. However, organizations are increasingly allowing a hybrid setup to offer flexibility and recruit talent.
