Digital Product Designer - Football Startup

Hey, You! Nice to meet you!

As the leading platform for non-professional football in Europe, we bring professional experiences — from news and data to gamification — directly to a community of over 190 million footballers and fans.

We are Prematch, founded in 2021 in Cologne — a dynamic startup with a smart and ambitious team. Our marketing and business teams are based in Cologne, Berlin, and London, while our tech and product teams work remotely across Europe.

We're backed by strong partners such as adidas, Krombacher, NIVEA MEN, and Techniker Krankenkasse — with a couple of exciting collaborations still in the pipeline. Successful investors like Ralf Reichert (CEO of ESL) and Verena Pausder are supporting us on our journey.
