Hey!
Imagine amateur football finally had the platform it deserves. Every weekend, millions of people write their own personal football stories – on pitches, in clubs and on the sidelines. We believe this passion deserves a digital home too. That's exactly what we're building every single day.
tl;dr
We’re looking for a hands-on all-rounder who runs our partnership with a global sports brand: from management reporting to strategic projects and our European expansion.
Main information
Start: Immediately
Location: Cologne
Workload: Full-time
Team: Teamwear
Is this a match?
The most important basics – so we both know if it could work.
Location: You can see yourself in our Cologne office (Belgisches Viertel) and are able to come in at least 3 days a week.
Experience: You bring 2 to 5 years of experience in consulting, strategy & operations, BizOps, key account or project management, ideally in a fast-paced environment.
Languages are no problem: You speak German and English fluently.
You know football: You're genuinely interested in grassroots football and have a feel for what moves this community.
Startup spirit: You'd rather shape things than just tick boxes - even when that means figuring stuff out without a finished roadmap.
What you'll do - your playing field
This is how you move our mission forward every day.
You’re the engine behind our brand partnership. You prepare our partner meetings and decks, coordinate day to day with your counterpart and make sure our Head of Teamwear walks in with a clear story and recommendations.
You own our partner reporting. From the monthly update to the quarterly business review and the half-yearly market share report, you turn data on tens of thousands of grassroots teams into a clear story with recommendations.
You drive strategic projects. Market and competitor analyses, upsell potentials and market analyses for our European expansion (France, UK, Spain, Italy).
You drive your own Key Results and keep track of the department’s KPIs, so our Head of Teamwear always knows where we stand.
You steer a team of >5 working students and mini-jobbers. You set priorities, split the work and make sure the quality is right.
In addition to your core responsibilities, you will also:
Prepare ad-hoc analyses and presentations for the Head of Teamwear and the founders
You report to our Head of Teamwear and work directly with our CEO
What you bring to the team
We're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points. Hands-on & proactive: You don’t wait for a brief. You spot what’s missing, build the first version yourself and get it moving.
Structured thinking: You break messy questions into clear steps and land on a recommendation.
Organised: You keep deadlines, your own tasks and a small team’s work on track at the same time.
Presenting: You build management-ready decks that turn numbers into a clear story, and you present them confidently to our founders and team.
Stakeholder management: You align founders, colleagues and an external partner, and you get input from people who don’t report to you.
Fast pace & startup mindset: You enjoy switching between a monthly deadline and an ad-hoc request, and you’d rather ship at 80% than wait for 100%.
Tools: Advanced Google Sheets / Excel and Slides/ Pitch/ PowerPoint, Notion, and AI tools in your daily work.
Good to know We want you to know what this role really looks like from day one. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of partner management, reporting and strategic projects. It is not a data engineering role: no coding, no pipelines. A data team supports you on the technical side.
Things move fast. One day you prepare the story for a major brand partner’s management, the next you steer a small team. If both excite you, you’re in exactly the right place.
Bonus
Not a must – but this'll definitely earn you extra points.
