Footballco creates more football content, across more platforms & languages than anyone else, reaching over 700 million football fans across the world each month. Our consumer brands include GOAL, FanZone, Front Three, Beast Mode On Podcast, INDIVISA and many more – no one else has our reach or depth of understanding within the game. We’re a company with over 300 employees globally engaging a huge audience (our channels generate over 2 billion video views a month) and we work with exciting partners in the UK, US and around the world.
About the role
Is your passion community-building? Do you have a creative or social media background with a fascination for how content spreads online? Are you obsessed with using data to define content strategy? Do you have a relationship with football, as a fan or a player? And do you want to be the leader in the next wave of digital audience growth in sport? This is the job for you!
Women’s football is entering an exciting new phase. As the game continues to grow, there’s a huge opportunity to welcome new audiences and build stronger connections with a broader, female-driven community.
That is where INDIVISA comes in.
We are looking for an ambitious, culturally fluent content and social leader to shape the next chapter of Footballco’s women-focused brand portfolio. You will lead INDIVISA while helping launch and develop a new culture-first brand designed to reach a broader generation of female audiences.
The two brands will play distinct but complementary roles. INDIVISA will deepen the relationship between women’s football and its core and emerging fans, while our new brand will start with culture, using entertainment, creators and crossover storytelling to bring broader audiences closer to sport. You will ensure that each has a differentiated identity, audience and content strategy, while identifying meaningful opportunities for collaboration.
You will live and breathe women’s culture. You understand everything from social memes and internet behaviour to pop culture, fashion, music, gaming and female empowerment. You know what audiences care about today, have an instinct for what they will care about tomorrow and understand how to turn those insights into distinctive content and brand experiences.
You know that TikTok and YouTube serve different audiences and behaviours. You understand where communities are forming, how platforms are evolving and where INDIVISA needs to show up next and how.
Above all, you will put the audience first, connecting both hardcore and casual communities with the women’s game through the cultural touchpoints that matter to them.
INDIVISA covers the full breadth of women’s football, from the professional and international game to grassroots culture and everything around it. Its content spans highlights, breaking stories, original formats, player-led storytelling and the wider cultural conversations shaping the sport.
Our ambition goes beyond covering the game. We want to build a cultural ecosystem around it.
You will strengthen INDIVISA's position as a community-driven destination for women’s football, deepening loyalty among established fans while helping casual followers become more actively connected to the game. Alongside, you will help establish a new culture-first brand that reaches broader audiences through entertainment, creators, trends and the points where sport intersects with everyday culture.
You will lead the Footballco’s women-focused brand’s content and social strategy, creative development and execution. You will also help shape new initiatives emerging from INDIVISA and contribute to Footballco’s broader approach to women’s audiences.
The role will work closely with Footballco’s central partnerships across clubs, players, federations and other strategic partners. It will also support regional partnership strategies, particularly in the USA and Saudi Arabia, as we approach a pivotal period for the game and the Women’s World Cup in Brazil.
