Reports To: Chief Soccer & Operations Officer (Trip Neil)

WHO WE ARE
Dallas Trinity FC is a professional women’s soccer club in the Gainbridge Super League, situated atop the US Soccer pyramid as a division one league. DTFC launched in May of 2024, and plays home games at historic Cotton Bowl Stadium. We are a founder-owned, high-growth organization continuing to build a club that competes on the field and wins in the community.
ROLE SUMMARY
You will be the right hand to the Chief Soccer & Operations Officer (Trip Neil). You will be the person who turns vision into reality when the CSOO has no bandwidth. This is not an administrative assistant or pure Executive Assistant role, though there will be tasks of such nature. This is a high-impact operator role for someone who thrives on owning projects end-to-end in a fast-moving early stage growth environment for the pro soccer club.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN (representative projects)
• Manage and drive 50 concurrent workstreams (sponsorship deliverables, gameday logistics, community programs, kit orders, player appearances, etc.)
• Build, maintain, and ruthlessly prioritize the club’s master project tracker
• Prepare briefing books, decks, and talking points for investor meetings, league calls, and civic presentations
• Coordinate cross-department execution (ticketing, marketing, soccer ops, partnerships, communications/pr)
• Handle special projects assigned directly by the CSOO (“We need three stadium Wi-Fi proposals by Friday,” “Build the volunteer handbook,” “Get us on the mayor’s calendar”)
• Act as the central point of contact when the CSOO is traveling or on the training ground
• Customary Executive Assistant tasks are part of the requirements, including gatekeeping, workplace logistics, and calendar management.
WHO YOU ARE
• You desire a fast track to being a sports executive, valuing experience/opportunity above all else
• 2–5 years of project/operations experience in sports, startups, agencies, or high-growth environments.
• Proven ability to take vague direction and deliver polished results with zero hand-holding
• Master of Google Workspace/Microsoft Office (especially Sheets/Excel for trackers and budgets)
• Comfortable and excited to build pitch decks in PowerPoint and Canva to bring proposals to life
• Calm under pressure — you’ve run matchdays, events, or launches with 1,000 moving parts
• Exceptional written and verbal communicator (you’ll write emails and speak on behalf of the CSOO)
• Deep passion for soccer/football is strongly preferred, especially the women’s game; existing relationships in the Dallas, North Texas, or U.S. soccer ecosystem are a plus
• Available for flexible hours including evenings, weekends, and ALL home matchdays
• Spanish fluency is a bonus but not required
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN 6 MONTHS
• The CSOO says, “I don’t know how did it without you.”
• Every major sponsor deliverable is tracked and on time
• Gameday run-of-show documents are built, rehearsed, and executed flawlessly
• You’ve shipped at least three meaningful projects that directly moved the club forward
WHY JOIN DALLAS TRINITY FC
• Be in the room where a professional club is built from the ground up…a rare experience opportunity
• Massive growth potential — this role can evolve into Director or Chief of Staff as the club scales
• Work directly with a founder who played and ran organizations at the national level
• Play a visible role in growing women’s soccer in the largest youth soccer market in the world
