The Feed offers athletes the widest selection of active nutrition and healthy snacks on the market. We use science, our experience, and athlete advice to deliver personalized recommendations that help athletes fuel smarter. Our e-commerce platform allows customers to learn about nutrition and build custom boxes for one-time or subscription purchases.

We partner with elite and everyday endurance athletes to bring trusted products, education, and community to life.

We’re looking for a High Performance Team Manager to own the operational execution and day-to-day management of The Feed’s sponsored athlete program (the High Performance Team), while supporting athlete-driven marketing initiatives, events, and community engagement.

This is a high-ownership, relationship-driven role at the intersection of athlete sponsorship, operations, and marketing. You’ll be responsible for managing athlete partnerships from onboarding through renewal, ensuring athletes feel supported, aligned, and empowered—while also ensuring contracts, deliverables, and brand expectations are executed flawlessly.

This role requires exceptional organization, strong communication, and a deep understanding of endurance athletes. You should be equally comfortable managing contracts and spreadsheets as you are building trust with athletes on the ground at events.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with High Performance Team athletes across endurance disciplines

• Lead athlete contract negotiations and renewals in coordination with senior leadership

• Oversee athlete onboarding, approvals, and sponsorship alignment

• Conduct regular athlete check-ins to share updates, gather feedback, and strengthen partnerships

• Serve as the primary point of contact for athlete questions related to contracts, compensation, credits, product, or brand expectations

• Ensure athlete representation of The Feed aligns with brand standards, values, and contractual obligations

• Recommend roster additions and support the strategic growth of the High Performance Team

• Travel to events to support on-site athlete needs, logistics, and media coordination

• Own the execution and overall health of the High Performance Team program

• Manage timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional coordination related to athlete partnerships

• Oversee and help manage internal athlete management systems, including contracts, onboarding, tracking, and reporting

• Own HPT-related budgets, including travel, athlete support, content creation, and vendor partnerships

• Partner closely with Marketing to integrate athletes into campaigns across social, email, web, and paid media

• Identify and recommend athlete-led content, partnerships, and storytelling opportunities aligned with business goals

• Oversee and help manage HPT newsletters, webinars, and athlete communications

• Monitor and guide athlete content collaborations and sponsorship activations

• Support marketing initiatives tied directly to athlete partnerships and sponsorships

• Someone who loves working with athletes and understands the realities of high-performance sport

• A highly organized operator who thrives on lists, calendars, timelines, and follow-through

• A relationship-builder who can balance athlete needs with business goals

• A strong owner who takes pride in running a complex program smoothly

• Someone energized by fast-moving environments and cross-functional collaboration

• 4+ years of experience in marketing, operations, customer experience, or athlete-related roles

• Strong organizational skills with exceptional attention to detail

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects and timelines simultaneously

• Passion for endurance sports and curiosity about athlete sponsorship and partnerships

• Willingness to travel domestically and work occasional weekends to support athlete events

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k)

• Paid time off and paid holidays

• Employee discount

This position will remain open until filled.
