Accounts Receivable Coordinator

  • Full-time

Company Description

Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment (MLSE) strives to deliver championships to our city and our fans. 

We're redefining sports entertainment beyond cheering in the stands and watching the game from puck drop to the buzzer. We are taking the fan experience beyond mere spectators through long and short-form stories across multiple social platforms. It's pre-taped or live; behind the scenes or in your face. It's video, music, stills, and interviews, seamlessly woven together to create the ultimate fan experience. That's who we do this for; people like you, your neighbour, your partner, and your family. 

We give the fans access to everything they want to know about our hometown teams - and beyond. To bring past, present, and future generations of fans together to cheer on our teams takes an incredible amount of creativity, innovation, technology, and rapid-fire decision-making. 

MLSE’s common purpose is to unite and empower employees to deliver extraordinary moments to our fans and each other. We celebrate the diversity, individuality, and personality of our peers, striving to be the best in class, in every class. We believe in Respect, Resilience, Commitment, and Ambition. We work for, with, and around the people that inspire us to try, persist, and achieve more.

Our work goes beyond games, seasons, trophies, and tours. Our success is measured by more than a scoreboard. Our team is stronger when we stand united. We create, we celebrate, we build, and we become better. What we choose to do next, means everything. It defines greatness, builds character, makes history, and brings the world to its feet.

Join us.
