NIL Jobs & Career Opportunities

Learn about current job openings, internships, and long-term career paths in the growing Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) space. If you’re in high school, college, recently graduated, or planning to become a sports rep, this is where you find direction.

Featured NIL Job Listings (Updated Weekly)

Every week, we highlight current NIL-related job opportunities across branding, marketing, legal, and athlete support roles. These are real jobs sourced from public listings. We don’t believe access to NIL careers should be gatekept.

This page is updated weekly with verified opportunities and built around one goal: helping you build your future in sports, regardless of your zip code or background.

Note: If a listing no longer works, that means the role has likely been filled or closed by the company.

How to Start a Career in NIL

If you're just getting started and want to work in NIL, you're not alone, and you're not behind. Start with The Warm-Up, our free, fully narrated course that introduces you to athlete branding, NIL strategy, and modern sports representation.

Learn how to build an athlete’s brand from the ground up, with purpose, clarity, and long-term value. You'll shape and share their story in ways that drive visibility, expand reach, and create real opportunities. Using platforms like LaunchBreak, Opendorse, Apollo, and more. You’ll stay ahead of the game while learning how brands are quietly sourcing athletes before anything goes public. You’ll know how to prepare athletes for success before a pitch is made or a post is live. You’ll also learn how to turn your personal experience into digital offers that make real money, and grow your presence in the NIL space without a license, an agency, or anyone’s approval.

Athlete representation isn’t just contracts, it’s sales, trust, branding, and deep relationship-building. If you’re serious about becoming a sports agent, read this first:
