Hey!

Imagine amateur football finally had the platform it deserves.
Every weekend, millions of people write their own personal football stories – on pitches, in clubs and on the sidelines. We believe this passion deserves a digital home too.
That's exactly what we're building every single day.

tl;dr

We're looking for someone who wants to conquer new markets with us - you'll take Teamwear into new countries side by side with the founders and build the playbook for every market that follows.

Main information

• Start: Immediately
• Location: Cologne 
• Workload: Full-time
• Team: Teamwear

Is this a match?

The most important basics – so we both know if it could work.

• Location: You can see yourself in our Cologne office (Belgisches Viertel) and are able to come in at least 3 days a week.
• Where you're at: You've finished your degree, gathered first hands-on experience and are ready for your next step.
• Languages are no problem: You speak German and English fluently.
• You know football: Amateur football isn't new to you - you've played, coached or been active in a club, or you're a fan with a real feel for what happens on and off the pitch.
• Startup spirit: You'd rather shape things than just tick boxes - even when that means figuring stuff out without a finished roadmap.

What you'll do - your playing field

This is how you move our mission forward every day.

• You get to know new markets in record time. Amateur football structures, clubs, retailers, competitors - you quickly figure out how a market works.
• You test market entry hands-on. You talk to clubs, retailers and partners and try out right away how our offers land.
• You turn findings into clear plans. You bring what you learn to the founders as recommendations and market entry plans.
• You get the first expansion project rolling. You drive it operationally and clear blockers out of the way as they come up.
• You write our expansion playbook. So that every next market goes even faster.

• Take on ad-hoc projects for the Head of Teamwear and the founders
• Prepare partner presentations and offers for new markets
• Work with our Data & Insights team on market data

What you bring to the team

We're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points.

• Doer without a playbook: You've pushed a project through without a manual before - in a start-up, your own project, a club or a student initiative.
• Business sense: You can size a market and build a simple business case.
• Quick learner: You get into new topics fast and turn them into structured findings.
• Drive: You get things moving without being asked - and see them through.
• Tools: Google Sheets / Excel (market models, business cases), Google Slides / PowerPoint, Notion or similar, AI tools for research and daily work

• Here you build markets hands-on instead of drafting strategies at a desk: you call clubs, travel and figure things out yourself. If that excites you, you're in the right place.
• There's no finished playbook yet and priorities can shift fast - you should enjoy stepping into the unknown.

Bonus

Not a must – but this'll definitely earn you extra points.

• Further languages (e.g. French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch) - just mention them in your application
• 1-3 years of experience in a start-up, consulting or business development
• Time abroad or international work experience
• Experience in sporting goods or teamwear

The Prematch Setup

We want you to love joining us - and still love being part of the team a long time from now.

• Employee participation (VSOP) - directly benefit from the company’s success.
• Modern tech setup - We provide the tools and devices you need to be productive.
• AI-powered work - We use AI tools to work smarter and more efficiently, and provide you with the tools you need to make the most of AI in your day-to-day work.
• 27 vacation days per year - For your rest and to recharge. Plus special arrangements if you’re a parent, so you can better balance family and relaxation.
• Remote work - depending on your distance to the office, you work 1–3 days a week onsite and the rest flexibly remote - whatever suits you best. Tech & Product roles sometimes offer 100% remote.
• Three cool offices in Cologne, Berlin, and London - true startup vibes to work and grow together. Want to visit another office? We support that too!
• Remote, even from afar - Whether it’s a week of sunshine abroad or a few days with family - we allow flexible work from outside your usual location.
• Team events at our locations - Whether after work in Cologne, Berlin, or London: we regularly bring teams together to connect and grow stronger.
• Offsites with the whole team - Four days out of the daily grind with the entire team: trips, brainstorming, onsite collaboration, and real team spirit.

Still here? Sounds like a pretty good match.

If you've made it this far, we hope we've managed to show you one thing: how we work, what we believe in and why this role at PREMATCH is something special.
Maybe this is exactly the moment you've been waiting for: a team that thinks big, a vision that actually moves things and the chance to help reshape amateur football digitally – together with us.
