Job Description

To be considered, please follow the application instructions at the bottom of this post.

Description:

We’re a small, fast-moving team at Icons, working with officially licensed, signed memorabilia from some of the biggest names in global soccer - Messi, Ronaldo, Pulisic, Mbappe, Beckham, Yamal, Pele and hundreds more.

We’re looking for someone local to help us stay organized and operational during a major growth period heading into the World Cup and beyond.

This is a part-time, in-person role based in Naperville (right by the train station, easy parking).

What you’ll do:

  • Pack and ship customer orders (jerseys, balls, photos, etc.)
  • Assist with framing and preparation of memorabilia
  • Help manage inventory and keep the office organized
  • Run occasional local errands (e.g. coordinating with a nearby framer)
  • Support day-to-day operational needs across a small team

Schedule:

  • 3-4 hours per day
  • 4–5 days per week (minimum 4)
  • Flexible timing within the day (we’ll coordinate around your schedule)

Compensation:

  • $18–$22/hour depending on experience
  • Contract (1099) role
  • Internship option available if needed

What matters most:

  • Reliability — if you commit to days/times, you show up
  • Attention to detail — these are high-value items; mistakes matter
  • Care & ownership — you treat products like they’re your own
  • Willingness to learn — especially if you’re interested in sports business
  • Knowledge and interest in global soccer teams, leagues, competitions and players

The work environment:

This is a hands-on role where you’ll be:

  • On your feet at times
  • Packing boxes and handling inventory
  • Moving between desks, storage, and nearby locations

This role is NOT for you if:

  • You’re looking for a remote or passive role
  • You can’t commit to a consistent weekly schedule
  • You tend to rush through tasks or overlook details
  • You’re just looking for a quick resume add without real contribution

This role IS a great fit if:

  • You want a foot in the door in sports or sports business
  • You like being part of a small, growing operation
  • You take pride in doing things the right way
  • You want flexible hours with real responsibility

How to apply:

Please email scott@icons.com including a brief note answering:

  1. What got you into soccer, and what keeps you interested today?
  2. Why are you interested in this role?

And, attach your resume (if available).

Include "Icons Operations Assistant - (YOUR NAME)" in the subject line.

Applications without this will not be considered.

Thanks for considering Icons... let's score some goals together in 2026!
