• Maintain accurate records of commercial activity, contracts, agreements and key partnership information.
• Manage and update the Partnerships CRM (Monday.com), ensuring information is organised and kept up to date.
• Liaise with the Finance team on invoicing processes, ensuring invoices are raised, tracked and followed up appropriately.
• Help maintain efficient systems and processes across the Partnerships team.
• Coordinate meetings, lunches, events and partner-facing activities.
• Manage travel arrangements, including flights, accommodation and itineraries.
• Assist with internal team organisation, diary coordination and logistics.
• Support partner experiences and hospitality where required.
• Assist with podcast shoots and commercial content days where required, helping coordinate practical arrangements.
• Work collaboratively with teams across Goalhanger to support wider commercial priorities.

What you'll bring:

• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
• Strong time management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A proactive attitude with a willingness to learn and take ownership.
• Strong communication skills and confidence working with different teams and stakeholders.
• Comfortable using systems and learning new tools quickly.
• A reliable, positive and collaborative approach.
• An interest in media, podcasts, advertising or partnerships.

We'd Especially Love to See:

• Previous experience in an administrative, operations, hospitality, marketing or commercial role.
• Experience using CRM systems such as Monday.com or similar platforms.
• Experience supporting events, shoots or client-facing activities.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Why join Goalhanger?

• A creative, collaborative, close-knit team that genuinely cares about its work and each other.
• Competitive salary and benefits, plus opportunities for growth within the role as our team and content portfolio expand.
• A working environment that values curiosity, autonomy, humour, delivery and purpose.
