Who are we: Everton Football Club is one of world sport's most respected and revered names - a by-word for innovation, professionalism and community. During the course of a glittering history spanning three centuries, the Club has been shaped and guided by its aspirational motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - nothing but the best is good enough. Alongside a Senior Men’s team that has played more games in English football's top flight than any other, Everton Women have been a leading light in driving forward the professionalism of the women’s game. With roots that go back to the mid-1980s, Everton Women were formally established in 1995 and won the English league title just three seasons later.

League runners-up five times in the following decade, the team also won two Women’s FA Cups and a Women’s League Cup before proudly becoming one of the eight founder members of the Women’s Super League in 2011. In May 2025, it was confirmed that the iconic Goodison Park – Everton's main stadium since 1892 – would become the permanent home of Everton Women from the 2025/26 season, signalling the dawn of an exciting new chapter for one of the women's game most storied clubs.

About the opportunity: We are now seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Team Operations Manager to play a key role in delivering operational excellence for our Everton Women’s First Team.

As Team Operations Manager you will be responsible for the successful and innovative management of all logistical and operational functions relating to Everton Women’s First Team operations, leading on all aspects of planning, scheduling, coordination, and communication, ensuring that day-to-day and matchday operations run smoothly and efficiently.

• Traveling to all fixtures and assist the Director of Women’s Football Operations as and when required.
