About Trippific

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.

What you’ll do

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.

What we’re looking for

Robust research and information-gathering skills.





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.

Genuine interest in sports, travel or both is a strong advantage.

The kind of person who will thrive here

You don’t need to know everything about sports tourism.

We want someone who is curious, hungry to learn, good at research, confident enough to pick up the phone, and obsessive about getting things done.

If we say, “Find every cricket academy in Bengaluru that could potentially be interested in a New Zealand cricket tour,” you should enjoy figuring out how to build that list, who to contact, what to ask them, and how to turn those conversations into opportunities.

What you’ll get

Opportunity to work closely with the founding team.

Exposure to sports, travel, partnerships and international business development.

Responsibility across Indian and international markets.

The opportunity to help build Trippific’s sports ecosystem from the ground up.

- A fast-moving environment where good ideas can quickly become real products.

If you’re someone who loves research, sports, travel and making things happen, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV and a short note telling us why you think you’d be good at finding and building sports opportunities for Trippific.
