Division: Women's Super League Football 

Location: Farringdon, Central London 

Vacancy Type: Full-time, Permanent 

Closing Date: 3 June 2026

Welcome to a new era for women's professional football in England. With the creation of WSL Football, an independent company solely dedicated to the women's professional game, we can transform women's football in this country. And by transforming football, we transform society.

WSL Football will accelerate the sustainable growth of the women's game. Our leagues (Barclays WSL and Barclays WSL2) are already the pinnacle of domestic women's club football. We have the best footballers on the planet; 94 players from the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 and 84 players from the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 played in the Barclays WSL, which is more than any other league in the world. These players are a new breed of female athlete superstar playing for some of the most recognisable football club brands in the world. From Ella Toone to Alessia Russo, Lauren James to Khadija Shaw, they are shaping culture, amassing huge social media followings and selling out stadia across the country.

Looking ahead, the next phase of growth is underpinned by our internal positioning statement ‘New Wave Football', bringing new energy, new ideas and new ways of engaging fans. We are building a team of brilliant people who are passionate about bringing this new wave to life. 

This role focuses on two of our most exciting growth areas: Athlete Brand Marketing and Brand Collaborations. This season, we piloted an Athlete Brand Marketing Programme with 6 of our 24 clubs, and we're looking to expand the pilot for 2026/27, bringing more clubs in and evolving the model as we go.

You'll lead the strategy and delivery (with agency support), working closely with players to help them build their personal brands and commercial prospects. That includes skills labs (personal brand, social, commercial skills and more) and selecting a small group for a WSL Football Ambassador Programme, where they'll work more directly with the league.

About Us:

The Football Association (The FA) is the governing body for football in England. It is responsible for promoting and developing the game at all levels and with footballers of all abilities, from grassroots through to the professional game.

The England Football Charity (The Charity) is an independent body, founded by The FA, as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission of England and Wales (charity number 1204361).  The Charity exists to harness the passion of England Football to tackle the most pressing social challenges. The Charity will first identify issues that need immediate attention and that football is well placed to address and design targeted interventions that complement the wider football eco-system. 

By bringing together funders and supporters, The Charity will invest in collaborative and innovative programmes that are delivered by a network of existing partners and managed by a central team.

In autumn 2026, The Charity will launch its inaugural project, designed to ensure that every young person has a trusted adult who listens without judgement, encourages hope, and helps them navigate life's challenges. Between now and the EURO 2028, The Charity, in partnership with delivery partners, will upskill 500 adults within grassroots football communities to better support young people.

The Charity is still in its early stages and has been working to lay solid foundations that will allow real impact to be created. A full-time Director has been recruited to lead the charity, with support from a small board that has been recruited over time. The next step is to recruit an inspiring Chair who can support both the board and executive team to move to the next stage where funding will be distributed to our incredible delivery partners to roll out our first project. Our hope is that the newly recruited Chair will be able to support us in adding more trustees to our board to ensure that we have access to the wealth of skills and experience needed for the charity to really flourish.
