Recruiting Coordinator (Contract to Hire)

About Arena Club

Arena Club is building the number one digital marketplace for collectibles. We started by reinventing the hobby with the first-ever digital card show, and we are expanding into new categories so collectors can buy, sell, grade, and showcase everything they care about in one place. Our ‘Slab Pack’ product brought the mystery and chase of opening physical packs of cards to a digital format, and has led to Arena Club being one of the fastest-growing (and highly profitable) companies in Los Angeles. Our business was founded by 5x World Series Champion Derek Jeter and serial entrepreneur Brian Lee, who previously founded LegalZoom and The Honest Company, both of which are now public companies.
