Founder's Technical Associate

About this role

The Players Fund (TPF) is a venture platform working at the intersection of sport, culture, and technology. We partner with elite athletes, artists, sports organisations, and tier-one co-investors to build and back ambitious companies.

We are hiring a Founders Technical Associate to work directly with one of the founders. This is a high-ownership, high-learning role focused on operations, systems building, and value creation across the platform. The best version of this role continuously automates and elevates itself into more strategic work over time.

You will gain exposure across venture capital, sports partnerships (including organisations such as Juventus, Como 1907 and Aston Martin F1), and athlete/artist engagement — operating at the centre of how TPF functions.
