Job description

Build the Future of Football in Wellington 

What if your passion for football could become something you lead, grow, and make your own? 

Stranger Soccer is expanding into new cities around the world and is looking for a License Owner / Operator to bring the Stranger Soccer experience to Wellington. 

 

This isn't a traditional management position. It's an opportunity to build, own, and grow a local football operation while becoming part of an established international brand. We're looking for entrepreneurial individuals who are passionate about football and driven to create a meaningful impact in their local community. 

 

Imagine Being the Person Who... 

  • Brings football players together through a seamless mobile platform 
  • Builds a vibrant football community in Wellington 
  • Creates memorable playing experiences week after week 
  • Leads a growing local operation backed by proven technology and global expertise 

 

What You'll Do 

As the License Owner / Operator, you'll oversee every aspect of Stranger Soccer, including: 

  • Growing the local player community 
  • Securing football venues and partnerships 
  • Recruiting and managing Official Hosts 
  • Leading marketing and community-building initiatives 
  • Delivering consistently outstanding game experiences 

 

You'll have the independence to grow your local operation while receiving ongoing support, technology, and operational guidance from our Singapore headquarters. 

Why Stranger Soccer? 

Stranger Soccer makes playing football as simple as booking a gym session. Through our mobile app, players can discover games, reserve a spot, and simply turn up to play. 

Founded in Singapore, Stranger Soccer now operates in 10+ cities worldwide and has delivered more than 100,000 games. Our proven model is built for growth—and we're ready to bring it to Wellington. 

Who We're Looking For 

  • A football enthusiast with strong local insight  
  • An entrepreneurial self-starter who enjoys taking ownership 
  • A leader who can build relationships and grow a local community 
  • Someone looking for more than a job—someone who wants to create lasting impact 

 

Ready to Take the Lead? 

Visit www.strangersoccer.com and explore "Bring Stranger Soccer to Your City" to learn more and express your interest. 

Help shape the future of football in Wellington—and build something you'll be proud of.
