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 win over French amateur football with us - you'll help build our Teamwear market in France from scratch, working side by side with the founders.
Main information
- Start: Immediately
- Location: France (remote) + phases in Cologne
- Workload: Internship, 6-12 months
- Team: Teamwear
Is this a match? The most important basics – so we both know if it could work.
- Location: You live in France and work remotely - with regular phases at our office in Cologne (we cover the travel costs).
- Where you're at: You recently finished your studies or are currently still studying - especially great if it's in business or a similar field!
- Languages: You're a native or fluent French speaker and speak English fluently - German is a plus, but not a must.
- You know football: French 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 map French amateur football. Leagues, regions, clubs, decision makers and retailers - you find out what makes the market tick.
- You open doors on the ground. You talk to clubs, retailers and partners and test right away how our offer lands.
- You turn learnings into clear recommendations.
- You boil down what you find into insights and recommendations for the founders.
- You get the first pilots onto the pitch. Together with French clubs, you drive our first projects hands-on.
- You write our France playbook.
- You capture everything that works - so we can build on it.
- In addition to your core responsibilities, you will also:
- Localise offers, decks and materials into French
- Take on ad-hoc research and analyses for the founders
- Represent Prematch at local football events
What you bring to the team
We're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points.
- Drive: You get things moving without being asked - and see them through.
- Own projects: You've built or pushed something on your own before - a club project, an initiative or a side business.
- Business mindset: Your studies or first jobs have given you a good feel for business.
- Self-organisation: You love working independently and keep the overview, even remotely.
- Tools: Google Sheets / Excel, Google Slides / PowerPoint, Notion or similar, AI tools for research and daily work
Good to know
We want you to know what this role really looks like from day one. This isn't a classic internship with set tasks - you'll help build a market from scratch and work largely on your own in France. If that kind of freedom excites you, you're in the right place. Your team is based in Cologne: you work together remotely and meet up on site regularly. That takes a good dose of self-organisation.
Bonus
Not a must – but this'll definitely earn you extra points.
- Your own network in French football (clubs, leagues, retailers)
- Interest in sporting goods or teamwear
