At LOOP, football is more than a game - it's culture, emotion, data, and community. We're looking for a freelance Performance Marketing Manager with a football focus who can step in quickly, understand paid media dynamics, and help football brands connect with fans across digital platforms in a performance-driven environment. 

Working on a freelance basis, you'll bring hands-on paid media expertise and deep football insight to both short-term activations and ongoing campaigns. From matchday moments to always-on performance work, you'll collaborate closely with LOOP's internal teams while operating independently, using data, creativity, and strategic thinking to drive measurable results.

• Collaborate Seamlessly with LOOP Teams: Work closely with creatives, strategists, and analysts to align storytelling, media execution, and performance goals. 
• Deliver Immediate Impact: Join LOOP as a freelancer for an initial engagement of approximately 1-3 months, contributing hands-on from day one.
