Strategic Projects Manager - Football

Application Deadline: 19 April 2026

Department: Football

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: London, UK

Description

The Premier League Football Department are recruiting for the exciting new role of Strategic Projects Manager. The Football Department is responsible both for the delivery of the long-term strategic plans for the development of Home Grown Talent and the delivery of world-class football operations. To support continued success and improvement in these areas, we are looking to recruit a Strategic Projects Manager to work with colleagues across the department and wider business to coordinate strategy development, generate insights and delivery priority projects.

Who we are

The Premier League is home to some of the most competitive and compelling football in the world. The League and its Clubs use the power and popularity of the competition to inspire fans, communities and partners in the UK and across the world. The Premier League brings people together from all backgrounds. It is a competition for everyone, everywhere and is available to watch in over 900 million homes in 189 countries.

We have a wide variety of responsibilities. These include organising the competition and its Handbook Book as well as managing the centralised broadcast and commercial rights. The work we do in conjunction with the Clubs also goes far beyond the 90 minutes. We support and provide a framework for youth development, we protect the organisation's intellectual property, support the wider game and community programmes, undertake international development work and liaise with governing bodies and other leagues.

The Premier League is an equal opportunities employer and strives to create an inclusive culture where talent can flourish. We believe in the potential of everyone and open our doors to those who share those values. All appointments will be made based on merit; however, we particularly encourage applications from women, people from minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people.

Our hybrid-working model also allows you some variety on your place of work, offering you the chance to work from home on some days each week. Where possible, you will attend the office or site visits in line with our company policy. All staff liaise closely with their line manager to manage their time appropriately and according to their work and team requirements.

The role
  • Support the Senior Strategic Projects Manager and Head of Strategic Projects in managing defined projects across priority areas of the Football Department (e.g. player development, player access, operations, coaching, performance support, etc.)
  • Employ qualitative and quantitative analysis to provide insights that frame new opportunities and create an evidence base for decision-making
  • Prepare strategic documents and recommendations that inform and enable leadership decision making on Football Department-related matters
  • Manage the development and implementation of performance measures for the Football Department
  • Engage and communicate regularly with internal and external stakeholders to build partnerships, understand requirements, create bespoke insights and shape ideas into deliverable projects.

Requirements for the role
  • Demonstratable experience in a management consulting or corporate strategy role (or similar)
  • Strong academic background and good professional track record
  • Stakeholder management experience and demonstration of a full range of soft skills to work effectively within an interdisciplinary environment
  • Excellent planning, organisational and presentation skills
  • Experience managing large datasets and complex information flows, with excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • High proficiency in MS Office (esp. PowerPoint and Excel)
  • Able to synthesise and clearly present decisions with strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Able to act independently on both project-based and analytical tasks
  • Comfortable working in an agile way, and with change and uncertainty
  • Able to work in a high-pressure environment and deliver against challenging deadlines
  • Willingness to learn new approaches and adapt to different working styles
  • Self-motivated and goal-oriented
  • Team player with high emotional intelligence, who seeks and acts on feedback.
