Help us grow the Soccer 5 community. Get out into Bayonne and the surrounding area, introduce Soccer 5 to new people and organizations, build relationships and turn those relationships into new customers.

Facility Operations When working inside Soccer 5, you'll also: Deliver outstanding customer service to players and families Manage customer check-in and assist with bookings Keep the facility clean, safe and game-ready Build relationships with existing customers and encourage repeat visits Promote Soccer 5 programs to customers Help maintain an energetic, welcoming atmosphere Complete opening, closing and facility-standard checks Take ownership of problems rather than waiting for someone else to fix them Stay productive throughout your shift Earn More By Helping Us Grow We want to reward people who directly contribute to the growth of Soccer 5 Bayonne. In addition to your hourly pay, we intend to offer a generous commission/incentive for new customers and organizations that you personally bring to Soccer 5. For qualifying new business, this could include commission based on the revenue generated by that customer during their first several months with Soccer 5. The opportunity can become particularly valuable for someone who develops relationships that lead to recurring field rentals, teams, leagues, parties, camps or other regular bookings. The more value you create for Soccer 5, the more opportunity we want to create for you. Strong performers who consistently generate new business will also receive priority consideration for preferred shifts and additional hours , subject to the operational needs of the facility.

What Success Looks Like Success isn't measured simply by how well you work behind the front desk. We'll look at: Quality of customer service Facility standards and reliability Outreach activity New relationships developed Leads generated New customers brought into Soccer 5 Repeat business generated from those relationships Your overall contribution to growing the Soccer 5 Bayonne community Career Growth This role has genuine potential to grow.
