Elite sports clubs, leagues and federations face huge opportunities, and challenges, beyond the game itself. Digitalization is accelerating, audience expectations are rising and the competition for partners' attention is intensifying. At the same time, many clubs lack the resources and expertise to realize their full potential. Things are simply moving too slowly, and organizations are missing out on revenue every single day.

That's where we come in.

That's why we're already looking for people who want to grow with us from the start. This isn't a traditional hire for a ready-made role. Instead, we're looking for individuals with the right mindset who can come in and shape their own role as we take on more engagements together.

Thinks strategically, delivers operationally, with a heart for sport and a head for business

Mindset comes first. Skills and experience follow close behind.

We believe the right people with the right attitude can take on different challenges and grow into our business. At the same time, experience in our four focus areas, Digital strategy & development, Commercial growth, Data-driven marketing or Analytics, data & AI, is valuable.

Maybe you're a specialist in one area who wants to sharpen your edge even further, or you're curious to broaden your horizons.

Or maybe you're a generalist who can contribute broadly but wants to go deeper.

Perhaps you're a consultant who wants to help build something together with us.

Or you work in sport today but want to take the next step commercially and strategically.

Whatever your exact background, if you have the right mindset and relevant experience, we want to hear from you now, and to keep you in mind as we grow.

Who we're looking for: mindset over CV
