Strategy Analyst

Founded in 1882, Tottenham Hotspur is an iconic English football club, playing in the Premier League and Women’s Super League. From North London to the world, our fanbase spans continents, cultures, and generations. Spurs is a club that’s always dared to push boundaries, breaking new ground and rewriting history.

We offer world‑class facilities: In 2019, we opened our state‑of‑the‑art Stadium, a £1 billion landmark that’s the beating heart of North Tottenham’s transformation. More than just a football ground, it’s an engine of change — creating 4,000 jobs and injecting £300 million into the local economy every year.

The Role

Tottenham Hotspur is seeking a dynamic, analytical and creative Strategy Analyst to join the Club’s Strategy & Business Analytics department (currently formed of 7 people of different seniority and experience). The Strategy team is responsible for ensuring the effective development, prioritisation and execution of the Club’s strategic priorities. This would include working with relevant departments to help them set long‑term objectives and a roadmap to reach them, managing the sometimes competing priorities of different departments at the Club and supporting them in the day‑to‑day project management of their work.

Key projects the Strategy Analyst is expected to work on include, but are not limited to:

• Growing the domestic and international fanbase of the club
• Supporting the growth of Women’s football both on‑ and off‑the‑pitch
• Developing market‑specific strategies for the Club’s key international geographies
• Conducting financial benchmarking exercises of our competitors in order to provide key information for our Board

The Strategy Analyst will work in a challenging and fast‑paced environment, with their work informing the key decisions of the Executive Leadership team. There will be abundant learning and growth opportunities and one of the key objectives of the Senior Strategy Manager will be to help develop them and express their full potential.

Please note we will only consider applications with a CV and Cover Letter.
