The Club today invites applicants for the role of Head of Commercial.
The successful applicant will take the leading role in developing commercial income to support AFC Wimbledon in its salient objective of being a successful, sustainable, community focused and fan-owned club.
The role will work closely with all departments, including marketing, ticketing, and women’s & girls football, whilst managing the commercial team to collectively achieve its objectives.
The Cherry Red Records Stadium in Merton has been the home of AFC Wimbledon since 2020 when the Club returned to its long-standing home of Plough Lane.
The Club’s facilities for matchdays and non-matchdays offer variety for all occasions and budgets. Furthermore, our commercial proposition is strengthened with the investment the Club made into its digital assets – pitchside, TV facing LED boards and our digital scoreboard - providing opportunities to partner with the Club and portray impactful brand messaging to our fanbase, TV audiences and our global online followings.
Danny Macklin, Managing Director, said: “This role provides an excellent opportunity for an experienced commercial head to further progress relationships with current partners whilst identifying and developing new commercial partners and other income channels for the Club.
“Of course, we are a truly unique club, the AFC Wimbledon story resonates with our commercial partners and provides platforms for sharing our unique values and vision. As a club we are blessed with what we believe is the longest front of shirt sponsorship in English football with Sports Interactive. Now in its 21st year, this demonstrates the approach of the Club to truly understand the objectives of our valued partners and to bring them along the journey as part of the core fabric of AFC Wimbledon.”
