Head of Marketing at Fanalysis

Powered by Passion

We’re building the go-to app for real football fans - a central home where trusted and passionate supporters can share their voices, insights, and emotions with clarity, cutting through punditry and the noise of fragmented social media

Founded by Michael McIntyre and Gary Neville, we’re already partnering with Sky Sports to amplify the perspectives of those who live and breathe the game, bringing authentic fan opinion to millions of viewers.

Having closed our seed round with personal backing from some of the world’s most exceptional venture investors, we’re now focused on building the team, app, and data platform that will power Fanalysis.

This is a thrilling opportunity to join our founding team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of fan-powered football media.

We’re looking for a Head of Marketing to lead the growth, voice, and visibility of Fanalysis. You’ll shape our brand from the ground up, driving fan adoption, building emotional connection, and making sure our message reaches the right people in the right moments.

This is a senior leadership role, reporting directly to the CEO, where you’ll own everything from strategy to execution. You’ll lead our social, community, CRM, influencer, and PR efforts and manage performance across all channels, from organic growth to retention campaigns.

You’ll be building a brand with heart, humour, and data at its core and helping to define what modern football marketing can look like when the fans are in charge.
