Planet League

Planet League is hiring a Project Manager, Partnerships & Campaigns. This is a full-time, hybrid role. Ideally, we're looking for someone based in Budapest. Planet League turns sports fans into social impact champions. We work with clubs (all Premier League teams), federations and companies and charities to run fan engagement campaigns that drive real-world action. We are award-winning, growing fast, and expanding across Europe. The role On any given week, you might draft a proposal in the morning, post on our social channels at lunch, jump on a call with a club's commercial director in the afternoon, and help shape a fan tournament at the end of the day. If that sounds energising rather than exhausting, please read on. Reporting to the Head of Operations, you will: - Help originate, design and run our fan tournaments - Prepare proposals for clubs, federations and brand partners - Run our day-to-day social media - Liaise with our partner clubs - Get hands-on with fan activation - Keep our content library sharp and reusable - Have a real say in where the product goes next; this team listens Who we think you are We care more about how you think and how you work than the exact shape of your CV. That said, we expect you are: - Based in Budapest - Early in your career but already a strong writer and communicator in English (other European languages are a bonus) - Comfortable running several projects at once without dropping the ball - Confident with everyday office tools, and have been getting genuinely good with AI tools, since we use them daily - Have an affinity for both sustainability and sport. If you are also a football fan, even better. If sport is not yet your world but the impact piece pulls you in, please still apply - Bring a get-up-and-go, giant-killer kind of energy. Small team, big ambitions, and we want someone who runs with that - Attention to detail, because partners notice the difference between good and almost-good This role suits someone who is more interested in building something than climbing a corporate ladder, who wants to learn fast across a wide surface area, and who would rather have their fingerprints on real work than sit inside a narrow job description. What we offer - Competitive base salary - Performance bonuses - Equity options, because we want you to share in what we are building - Real influence on product and campaign direction - A close-knit, senior team that is generous with time and feedback - Mostly remote working, with the rhythm of a few in-person days a week to keep us in sync - Front-row exposure to global sports brands, federations and the social and environmental impact space How to apply We particularly welcome applications from people who are underrepresented in sport. Send us a short note about yourself, a CV or LinkedIn link, and one example of something you built, organised or wrote that you are proud of. Apply via LinkedIn or email info@planetleague.co.uk

Footballers doing good.

We'd like to highlight the amazing work of Moving the Goalposts (MTG), a development organisation using the power of football to educate, mentor and safeguard vulnerable girls and young women in coastal Kenya. Planet League helps grassroots charities like MTG mobilize volunteers and supporters. Reach out to us if your like to learn more.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s outburst about immigration undermines efforts of the football industry to use its influence for good. At lower levels of operation and management, clubs and their community organisations do tremendous work, often unsung, and not least in the area of integrating refugees. He need look no further than the fantastic work done by Salford FC’s Foundation 92 on refugee integration in Manchester. Manchester United Foundation is also very active supporting vulnerable, at-risk people. Leaders are not necessarily people to look up to. If you want the good bits in an organisation generally look everywhere else. https://lnkd.in/d4aud-E8 #salfordcity #manutd #socialimpact #foundation92 #immigration #integration #footballandsociety #community

✨Season’s Greetings from Planet League ✨ Thank you for being part of the journey towards a greener game. See you in 2025! 🌍⚽️

At ImpactScope we're thrilled to part of the next chapter of Planet League's growth. In European football there are often polished campaigns aimed at tackling issues such as racism, homophobia, and plastic waste, but how effective have these top-down campaigns really been? Who measures their impact? These traditional campaigns focus on what happens in or around the stadium and on social media: viral videos, special armbands, and the usual hashtags. Fans are spectators. Impact is not measured. Under the leadership of James Atkins, Planet League, on the other hand, focuses on what fans do in their kitchens, living rooms and communities. By harnessing club loyalty, local pride, and a healthy sense of competition, Planet League's multi award winning fan activation platform enables fans, clubs and sponsors to engage in activities which can have a measurable positive impact on their personal physical and mental well-being, and on the vitality of their local communities.

🇮🇪 Irish footballer Troy Parrott scored a hattrick against Hungary and thereby won Ireland a place in the World Cup play-offs. ⚽️His five goals in the last two games took Ireland’s World Cup campaign from the brink of extinction and restored their hope. 🦜Another plucky parrot is the Spix’s Macaw. It was declared extinct in the wild in 2019 following many years of deforestation. Now, a breeding programme has brought the Spix’s back and 50 individuals are leading the fightback in the wild. Animals and birds need space and resources to thrive. For that we have to hold back and leave something on the table for them, too 🤝🐾🌍 #Football #Sports #Extinction

⚽️ Did you know  The Planet League platform has a VAR system, just like professional football 📸 When someone uploads photo evidence of a green action we check the photo to be sure it’s real. It’s not 100% foolproof, but it’s usually clear when someone isn’t playing by the rules. If we spot cheating, they receive a yellow card. For serious or repeat offenses? That’s a red 👥 Now we’re working on crowd-sourced VAR where you are the ref as well as the player! #Football #VAR #SustainableSports
