At the adidas Group Sports Licensed Division, our love of sport drives who we are and what we do. But just as a ball is more than leather and thread, and a shoe more than padding and rubber, we are bigger than our products. We don’t just work to create stronger gear and lighter fabrics: We strive to help athletes everywhere perform their best.

We are inspired by a single idea: to provide every athlete and fan alike the gear they need, when they need it, to represent their teams.  At the Sports Licensed Division we have over 1,400 employees worldwide who work to help make this belief a reality.  Every one of our employees, no matter what their job or their stature, has the chance to put the same passion and commitment into each concept, process and product, the same way adidas, Reebok, Mitchell & Ness, and many of our licensed partners do.

At the Sports Licensed Division this drive is what connects us.  We’re all working towards a future motivated by shaping the way the world looks at sports. By offering the latest in headwear, developing name and number designs, creating graphics that connect fans to their teams, and fueling hot markets, your work helps make greatness possible.

From design to production every role at the Sports Licensed Division is connected to this.  And through innovation and teamwork, we seize each new opportunity with every stitch of fabric we make.

We are looking for an energetic self-starter who will jump right in to assist the
Headwear Product Marketing Team of the Sports Licensing Division. This is a 3 month contract with possibility to extend.

At our Global Headquarters in Massachusetts, we’re not defined by a sport or a season, but by a way of life. From early morning runs to lunchtime workouts to biking and hiking through the local Blue Hills Reservation, fitness is what wakes us up in the morning, what we think about all day and what drives us toward tomorrow. Our state-of-the-art headquarters is equipped with a three-story Fitness & Wellness Center, outdoor sports fields, CrossFit box, a gourmet cafeteria, on-site child care facility and discounted employee store. Located right outside of Boston, we are a short drive to New England’s beaches and mountains, making it a premier place to work and play.
