BMO x TFC Women in Soccer Fellowship
Powered by Passion. United by Purpose. Build for Impact.
At Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Partnership (MLSE), we exist to deliver the ultimate fan experience by lifting trophies, spirits, and communities – united as one.
We're more than a workplace. We are a team of passionate people, boldly building the future of sport and entertainment, together. We believe in the power of play, the strength of collaboration, and the energy that comes from showing up with purpose.
From the ice to the pitch, the hardwood to the digital arena, we’re proud to be the driving force behind the Toronto Maple Leafs (NHL), the Toronto Raptors (NBA), Toronto FC (MLS), Toronto Argonauts (CFL) and development teams with the Toronto Marlies (AHL), Raptors 905 (NBA G League), Toronto FC II (MLS NEXT Pro League) and Raptors Uprising Gaming Club, the Toronto Raptors Esports franchise in the NBA 2K League.
We bring these teams – and world-class entertainment – to life at our iconic venues, including Scotiabank Arena, BMO Field, Coca-Cola Coliseum, Ford Performance Centre, BMO Training Ground, and OVO Athletic Centre. Off the field, we serve up elevated dining at e11even, Real Sports, and our signature club spaces like Hot Stove Club, ScotiaClub, and Platinum Club.
Through MLSE Foundation and MLSE LaunchPad, we use the power of sport to help youth facing barriers reach their full potential. Since 2009, we’ve invested more than $45 million into Ontario communities -- and we’re just getting started.
This is what it means to be One MLSE: a culture where everyone plays a role, everyone belongs, and everyone contributes to something bigger than themselves.
So, if you're ready to play with purpose, grow with passion, and win as one, we’d love to have you on our team.
** We know that great candidates come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences. Even if you do not meet every qualification listed, we encourage you to apply. Your unique perspective, transferable skills, and lived experience may be exactly what we’re looking for. **
Job Description
FELLOWSHIP OVERVIEW
Toronto FC is committed to advancing equity, diversity and inclusion by eliminating barriers and accelerating the development and implementation of meaningful programs that have real impact in our community, with our fans and for our colleagues. Our environment values inclusivity and we are committed to creating positive change to address systemic issues in sport.
In line with this commitment, Toronto FC, in partnership with BMO, will provide a full-time, paid 18-month Fellowship (January 2027 to June 2028) opportunity to emerging talent who self-identify as a woman and have a passion for sport. We want to continue to advance representation of women in front-office, leadership positions through this unique opportunity to gain valuable, hands-on professional experience.
Working closely with leaders across the Toronto FC front office, this role will provide you with insight and learning across multiple areas of Team & Business Operations through rotations in:
- Business Operations, including Global Partnerships and Ticketing
- Player Personnel (Roster/Cap Management, Scouting, Analytics)
- Team Operations
- Media Relations
- Game Presentation
- MLSE Foundation
- TFC 2 & Academy Operations
This Fellowship will provide you with an outstanding opportunity to experience the sport, as well as offer your unique perspective to help influence the club. Travel and accommodation to required events, as well as some extended travel to games, training camps or other may be required. Costs associated with this will be covered in full, in addition to your salary, which will be paid semi-monthly. You will be required to work game days and given the nature of the organization, you should anticipate a need for flexibility beyond a traditional Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm work week as much of the learning and development occurs on event days. The experience will be immersive and the opportunities for development extensive.
