Business Development Intern

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.

- a club project, an initiative or a side business.
• Business mindset: Your studies or first jobs have given you a good feel for business.

• Tools: Google Sheets / Excel, Google Slides / PowerPoint, Notion or similar, AI tools for research and daily work Good to knowWe 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 The Prematch Setup We want you to love joining us
- and still love being part of the team a long time from now.

- Whether after work in Cologne, Berlin, or London: we regularly bring teams together to connect and grow stronger.
• Offsites with the whole team
- Four days out of the daily grind with the entire team: trips, brainstorming, onsite collaboration, and real team spirit. Still here? Sounds like a pretty good match. If you've made it this far, we hope we've managed to show you one thing: how we work, what we believe in and why this role at PREMATCH is something special.
Maybe this is exactly the moment you've been waiting for: a team that thinks big, a vision that actually moves things and the chance to help reshape amateur football digitally – together with us. Now it's your turn.
