About Us
We are a growing football agency building a network across player representation, recruitment, and club relationships. This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and play a direct role in shaping the business.
This role is suited to someone ambitious, commercially minded, and genuinely passionate about football. We are looking for someone who wants more than a traditional role, someone willing to contribute to building something long term and grow into a full agent position over time.

We are looking for a Junior Agent / Player Operations Manager to support player recruitment, club outreach, and day to day agency operations. You will work across scouting, relationship management, and business development while helping identify and create opportunities for players.
Key Responsibilities
- Engage with the agency’s existing network to gather club transfer requirements and recruitment needs
- Present player profiles to relevant clubs for review and consideration
- Liaise with the agency’s current player roster and maintain relationships
- Identify and target new player opportunities based on active club requirements
- Scout players through live matches, video analysis, and online research
- Recruit and onboard new players to the agency
- Support wider business growth initiatives and relationship building across the football ecosystem

Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
