Job Description
Founding Team - Soccer, Partnerships & Growth at Soccer Purpose Founding Team - Soccer, Partnerships & Growth at Soccer Purpose in STANFORD, California Posted in about 23 hours ago.
Type:
full-time Soccer Purpose is no longer just an idea. We're building. ? Early player cohorts are taking shape across California. ???? Conversations are underway with leaders across soccer, business, education, sponsorship and technology. ???? Our founding and executive team is growing. ???? And now we're looking for the next people who want to help build this with us. We are not building another pay-to-play soccer organization. Soccer Purpose was created to Find Every Player -especially talented young athletes whose ability may never be discovered because their families cannot afford the traditional pathway. We're building an ecosystem around those players: soccer development + education + health + nutrition + equipment + technology + real pathways forward.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
????
FOUNDING / EXECUTIVE TEAM A
limited number of founding-level opportunities remain. We're especially interested in business development, finance, investment, operations, technology and strategic partnerships. Certain founding positions may include an investment component. ????
INVESTMENT & CAPITAL RELATIONSHIPS
Know angel investors, family offices, private capital, venture networks or people who want to invest in the future of sports? We want to talk. ????
SPONSORSHIPS & PARTNERSHIPS
If you know how to turn relationships into partnerships, sponsorships and revenue, there is an opportunity to grow with us, including potential performance-based compensation. ???? INTERNS Marketing. Social media. Video. Research. Soccer operations. Business development. Technology. Events. This is early-stage startup experience where you can actually help build the company-not watch from the sidelines. Internship opportunities are currently unpaid, with certain performance/commission opportunities depending on the role. ?
SOCCER PEOPLE
Coaches. Scouts. Player-development professionals. Former players. People who know where overlooked talent lives and understand how to develop it. ????
ADMINISTRATION & OPERATIONS
We're also identifying the person who can help keep the entire operation organized as we move toward launch. WHY NOW? Because the team is getting stronger. Because our first California opportunities are in place for launch. Because the player pool is enormous. And because we believe the right people joining at the beginning can help build something much bigger than a job. Don't just send us a résumé. Tell us what you can bring. Maybe it's experience. Maybe it's relationships. Maybe it's soccer knowledge. Maybe it's access to capital. Maybe it's technology. Maybe it's simply the ability to execute. If you see yourself here, apply. If you know someone who belongs here, send this to them. Soccer Purpose | Find Every Player.
