Garforth Town is looking for a Commercial & Sponsorship Director to join the club as we take the next step in our journey. This is a volunteer leadership role as part of the club’s Progress Board, and a great opportunity for someone who wants to make a real difference at a growing non-league football club.
You’ll take the lead on driving sponsorship and commercial income — helping us build relationships with local businesses, deliver great experiences for sponsors, and put more structure around our commercial offer.
We’ve got strong foundations and a growing fanbase, but we know we need to increase our off-the-pitch income to match the ambition on it.
What the role involves:
• Finding and developing local sponsorship opportunities
• Building relationships with businesses and supporters
• Negotiating deals and managing sponsor expectations
• Making sure our sponsors feel valued and want to come back
• Supporting wider fundraising or commercial ideas when needed
• Recruiting and supporting two Sponsorship Executives to help deliver the plan
What we’re looking for:
You don’t need to have a commercial background in football — just an understanding of how sponsorship works and a bit of confidence when it comes to talking to people and getting things done.
Key skills and traits:
• Good communicator and people person
• Organised and proactive
• Comfortable putting together simple offers or presentations
• Understands how small businesses think
• A genuine interest in football and community sport
• Happy to work flexibly around other commitments
What you’ll get from it:
• A leadership role on the Progress Board
• Experience leading a small team and shaping a commercial plan
• A real sense of ownership and impact
• Recognition and visibility at the club
• A flexible volunteer commitment that can fit around work and life
• The chance to be part of something exciting as we try to take the club forward
