Vacancy: Junior Creative Sales
Life After Football and The Hattrick are looking for new talent.
We’re searching for a commercial and creative thinker – someone who understands what drives brands, spots opportunities, and can translate ideas into collaborations that fit our world.
This isn’t standard sales. It’s about thinking alongside brands, building relationships, and finding the right creative translation. Someone who prefers selling solutions over products – and takes a proactive approach to making that happen.
About us
Life After Football was founded by and for professional footballers and has grown into a 360° media platform: print, online, social, TV and events. We create lifestyle and fashion content rooted in football culture, inspiring a broad community every day. Together with The Hattrick, our creative content agency, we develop concepts and campaigns for brands that want to connect with the worlds of sport, fashion, and lifestyle.
What you will do
In this role, you’ll be the creative link between brands and our world. You’ll actively seek new partners and build relationships through different channels – by connecting with brands and agencies, calling, emailing, and attending networking and partner events.
You’ll think along on how campaigns and collaborations can best come to life, translating the opportunities within Life After Football and The Hattrick into tailored solutions for each client.
Part of your work will take place in-house: preparing proposals and offers, following up on leads, and maintaining our sales planning. You’ll also regularly attend events, fairs or partner activities – sometimes outside of standard working hours – to stay present in the network and keep a feel for the market.
What we are looking for
- A curious and entrepreneurial personality with an interest in football, fashion and culture
- Someone who thinks commercially, but in a creative way
- Confident in reaching out to new contacts through calls, emails, and networking
- Strong communication skills in Dutch and preferably English (useful as we continue to internationalise)
- An out-of-the-box thinker who spots opportunities and comes up with creative solutions
- Experience isn’t essential – talent, flair, and a genuine interest in people matter more to us
What we offer
- A role within a young, creative and dedicated team that’s small but specialised
- Room for your own ideas and personal development
- Collaborations with (inter)national brands and players in sport, fashion and music
- Flexibility (partial remote work possible, one day per week)
- Phone allowance
- Competitive salary with an attractive bonus scheme
