As a software engineer, I help provide our fans with access to NBA statistics and content worldwide. My department develops international digital products and partners with regional content providers to engage fans in a compelling way. Our group works on a variety of events and initiatives that directly impact the WNBA and its players.
We get to know the players and the teams very well and are very close to the game. My group is small and tight-knit, and we all share a deep love for the game and this league. In the social media age, digital photography is all about quickness. In my role, I have a window into the many different roles and responsibilities at the NBA.
I work very closely with our marketing partners and collaborate with many different internal groups to bring those partnerships to life. My colleagues are incredibly skilled and talented, and I think that is what makes working at the NBA so great. After about one year selling swingman jerseys and NBA-branded socks, I transitioned to the corporate office to support the talent acquisition team.
Fast forward to today, I am part of the basketball recruiting team within talent acquisition, where we support basketball-related departments with full life-cycle recruiting, operations, and strategic initiatives. The NBA is uniquely diverse from a cultural and social perspective, as well as in the range of expertise that supports the league.
My background is in complex construction project management. There is simply no better place to work if you have a passion for the game of basketball and seek an environment that empowers and inspires.
