Reports to: Business Development & Events Manager

About The Footy League

NYC Footy is the largest amateur soccer league in the U.S., bringing together tens of thousands of working professionals who are passionate about community, competition, and connection. We produce some of the most exciting adult soccer experiences in the country—including marquee tournaments like Governors Cup, Footy Fest, Cup of Dreams, Cost of Living Classic, Chopped Cheese Classic, KOTN Cup, and a wide range of branded events in partnership with major sponsors and partners.

We’re a creative, hard-working team that values independence, problem-solving, and people who take ownership of their work. Every teammate touches multiple aspects of the organization—events, operations, marketing, partnerships, and community—because that's what makes our leagues and experiences special.

As our event calendar continues to grow, we’re excited to welcome a proactive, organized, detail-driven Events Coordinator who wants to help shape the future of soccer experiences in the U.S.

Role Overview

The Events Coordinator will play a central role in planning, producing, and executing NYC Footy’s expanding portfolio of events—including fully owned tournaments, partner-produced events, and sponsor events. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys working on a wide variety of tasks, and takes pride in delivering exceptional experiences for players, sponsors, and partners.

You will work closely with the Events Manager but will be expected to take initiative, manage responsibilities independently, and collaborate across departments—including marketing, league operations, customer service, creative, and partnerships.

This role is hybrid with one weekly office day in NYC. Travel may be required for out-of-state and upstate events.
