Matchday Hospitality & Partnerships Coordinator (Voluntary Role)

Hyde United FC are seeking a confident, reliable, and personable individual to support our matchday hospitality and local partnerships activity.

This role has grown in importance and is currently managed alongside board-level responsibilities. We’re now looking for someone who can take ownership of this area and help strengthen relationships with local businesses and sponsors.

While this is an unpaid role, it provides genuine, hands-on experience within a football club environment and is ideal for someone looking to build experience in sports marketing, partnerships, hospitality, or commercial roles.

Many professional clubs and organisations require a minimum of 12 months’ experience — this role is designed to act as a stepping stone for the right person.
