Employee Spotlight: Amelia Hirtle

Amelia is a Team Administration Coordinator for the New England Revolution .

What is your role within the New England Revolution ? How long have you been a member of The Kraft Group?

I first started working for the organization last year as a Fellow in the Robert K. Kraft Fellowship Program. In October of 2022, I transitioned into my current role as the Team Administration Coordinator for the New England Revolution. Some of my responsibilities include helping with matchday operations, general office administrative tasks and assisting in the player relocation process.

How has your career grown since starting at the New England Revolution ??What do you find to be the most rewarding aspects of your job?

Being a part of this organization has allowed me to have a better understanding of how the different aspects of businesses work together to be successful. I am very lucky to work on a great team of hardworking individuals who have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the field. It is very rewarding when aspects of the job such as matchday go smoothly because it shows all the hard work the team did to get there!

Can you tell us about an obstacle you overcame in your career? How did you do it?

I had always known I wanted to work in sports, but I was unsure of which specific avenue I wanted to take. It was difficult to find a job in the sports industry with limited experience. Once I started in the Fellowship Program, I had more access and opportunity to reach out to other individuals within the organization to see what their jobs were. This led me to the role I am in today!

In honor of #WomensHistoryMonth, is there a woman in your personal or professional life who has been a mentor or role model to you? What do you admire most about them?

My mom has been both a mentor and a role model to me. she has helped me become the person I am today, and I would not be where I am today without her guidance and support. I admire the fact that she is caring and always looks out for other.?

What advice would you give to the next generation of women leaders in the world?

Making and maintaining connections is a vital part of your professional career! Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and ask for what you want.
