• A fast-paced, international team with high ambition and strong values.

As a Sponsorship Manager, you’ll support the management and activation of our club partnerships, making sure rights are delivered with excellence and partners get the most out of every collaboration.

Working at the intersection of sports, tech, and entertainment, you’ll collaborate with internal teams and clubs to bring campaigns, content, and product launches to life, while strengthening our growing partner network.

Qualifications

• 4–5 years’ experience in partnership management, ideally within the entertainment or sports industries.
• Strong organizational skills and a results-driven mindset.

• Ability to handle multiple projects at once and thrive in a collaborative, fully remote team.
• Willingness to travel regularly to clubs to maintain close and effective partnerships.

Benefits

• Remote-first with flexibility – work from home, with regular travel to partner clubs and events.
• 25 working days of vacation – on top of public holidays, because rest matters.
• High-impact role – play a key part in delivering partnerships that connect clubs, brands, and fans.
