About the Role
Trippific is building a new way for sports enthusiasts to experience the world, combining sports travel, live sporting events, playing opportunities, and curated experiences into one platform. We are looking for a Sports Operations & Research Specialist to help us discover, build, and activate new sports opportunities across India and international markets.
Key Responsibilities
Your core responsibility will be to find opportunities, build the right database, reach out to organisations, and turn promising opportunities into real products on Trippific. You will:
- Research and build databases of sports academies, clubs, schools, universities, and sporting organisations across Bengaluru, India, and international markets.
- Identify organisations that could be potential partners for sports tours, exchange programmes, tournaments, camps, and sporting experiences.
- Contact academies and organisations through calls, WhatsApp, email, and other channels to understand their interest and requirements.
- Conduct structured market research across countries to identify new sports-tour opportunities.
- Track leads, conversations, follow-ups, and potential partnerships in our internal systems.
- Research new sports destinations, tournaments, academies, clubs, and experiences that Trippific could offer.
- Work with the team to convert promising research into actual experiences/products listed on the Trippific website.
- Continuously expand and improve Trippific’s sports network across India and overseas markets.
- Help identify trends and opportunities in the global sports travel market.

- Excellent communication skills, especially over phone and WhatsApp.
- Comfortable making calls and speaking to academies, clubs, and business owners.
- Highly organised and comfortable maintaining databases and spreadsheets.
- Ability to find useful information beyond the first page of Google.
- Proactive mindset — you should enjoy finding opportunities rather than waiting for them.
- Good written English.
- Comfortable working independently and taking ownership of a task from research → outreach → follow-up → execution.
