Finance Manager (f/m/d)

at  Common Goal

ABOUT COMMON GOAL

With more than three billion fans, football is the largest social phenomenon on the planet. No other sport has such reach, wealth and cultural significance. At Common Goal, we envision a world where football creates a more inclusive and equal society. Our mission is to mobilize the global football ecosystem to create access to more safe spaces for young people to play, learn, and thrive.
We engage with some of the biggest stakeholders and change makers in soccer (including top athletes, brands, clubs, confederations - from Megan Rapinoe, Naomi Girma, MLS franchises, to Jurgen Klopp and adidas to UEFA) to strengthen a network of over 200 community organizations across 100+ countries, via access to funding and specific thematic programs.
Bottom-up and inside-out, we place all our focus on strengthening local capacity to transform realities, embedding purpose at the heart of the football industry and using football as enabler to inspire a shift in mindset.
Come help us take it to the next level!
