Joe Jackson enters his sixth season as the director of operations for the Utah soccer program in 2026-27.
Jackson comes to Utah after spending the past three seasons in a similar role at Stanford with both the men’s and women’s soccer programs. In addition to his day-to-day duties, Jackson was also integral in the game-day experience at Maloney Field.
Prior to his time on The Farm, Jackson spent two years laying the groundwork for Atlanta United FC’s highly successful 2017 debut season. He started in the organization’s marketing and social media department before transitioning into growing the youth soccer movement in the state of Georgia and closed out his tenure there as a senior premium sales account executive. Just before joining Atlanta United FC, Jackson spent the final five months of 2015 as a sales trainee with the Major League Soccer (MLS) National Sales Center.
A 2015 graduate from the University of Oregon, Jackson is very familiar with the Pac-12. During his time in Eugene, Jackson served as the president and captain of the Oregon club soccer team and was a marketing intern with the athletics department – working with the baseball program specifically in 2013 season.
