[DCWat]

• Host potential partners at Club matches to bring alive the Matchday opportunity.

• Match/Event responsibilities and organisation: Hosting potential partners as required.

Will be busy doing the same thing twice on match days, by the look of these two.

And only 20 days holiday a year!!

And interesting that applications go to someone at Burnley FC in the Community and not Burnley FC

[BenWickes]

... bring alive the Matchday opportunity.

What does that even mean?

You have to create the atmosphere as there'll be no other fooker there

28 days/year holiday, or have you taken bank holidays out?

subsidized gym surprised me, I would have thought free but hey ho.

It's a misquote. Should read 'Subsidised Jim'. He's an apprentice from Bacup. He'd be your assistant.

[Funkydrummer]

Thought it was going to be for a refunds officer.

[HollandsPies]

Hell of a lot of corporate-speak, flannel in there.

In simple English can someone explain what the job entails?

[Gordaleman]

Club still moving forward despite a lot of people on here saying otherwise.

There's more to improving the club than just spending millions on players, and this is another example!

Make the tea for Mike, clean the bogs, don't answer the phone at any cost and generally be good with a broom. Help if you have an excitable personality. Keep the Dry Powder room key down your bra/underpants.

Sounds like a role for Shebby Singh?

Sounds like a job that would suit "Marvellous ".

[Paul Waine]

Required: Bring in partners willing to add £X million a year to the transfer funds.

This is an important role. I wish I'd got the experience required....

If you can't understand it you ain't qualified

[Granny WeatherWax]

The absolute bare minimum of holidays we have to offer people, I thought we were better than that.

[bfcjg]

In a nutshell a talking Berie Bee.

[Clarets4me]

Basically, if you don't understand the " Corporate jargon ", it's not for you .....

It sounds like negotiating deals and partnerships world-wide in areas where Football and the EPL is popular, promoting our name and image in these areas with local commercial partners to our business advantage .... Far East, China, Australia, USA and Canada etc ... Man Utd did have a tie-in with the New York Yankees, signed around 2001( not sure if it's still current ), selling each other's merchandise etc ...

I do know we have an excellent contact in Mauritius !!

It's funny, I thought of you when I first read the role description. Don't ask me why, just got that sort of impression it was something you would do nowadays

[Rowls]

It's four weeks holiday per year + 8 bank holidays!!!!

How many holidays do you need per year???

Every employer I've worked for has offered 25+8 as an absolute minimum, with the option to buy another 5 if you want

You need to be very appreciative of that. That's what living in a highly developed, democratic and wealthy western country brings you.

Four weeks holiday is more than enough.

[ChrisG]

It's great, definitely appreciated when you're pulling minimum 10/12 hour days some weeks.

[BenWickes]

That must make your hands tired.

[ChrisG]

It takes a lot of pulling tbf, two hander job.

[Rowls]

Come on then, how many hours a week do you work, how many days a week and tell us what you do?

You don't have to obviously.

[ChrisG]

Contracted 37.5, done weeks more depending on demand! I'm a QS, so depends on the payment cycle. I'm lucky, it's a well paid industry, but does follow boom and bust in an exaggerated way. Might be buggered in a few weeks with recession. Swings and roundabouts though I suppose.

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

I've worked in the corporate world for a number of different companies across 20 plus years. Only 1 out of 6 jobs was 20 days, all the rest have been 25, and some allowing more with length of experience.

It's an interesting job, definitely one that that the big clubs need, but if we ever drop down to the championship for a number of years, would that role still be relevant? I think this role should be outsourced.

[bfcmik]

It's great, definitely appreciated when you're pulling minimum 10/12 hour days some weeks.

A truck driver is expected to, legally, do at least that every day, 5 or 6 days per week - usually up to 15 hours per day. And that is for as little money as employers can get away with paying. A well paid European tramper can be away for anything up to 15 weeks at a time and earn around £40-50k per year (including night out payments)!

Fair play to them. I worked in a previous role that meant a lot of time on the road, and it's hard with your thoughts running away sometimes. I love my job tbf.

Have you still got his number

[KateR]

last 20 years working for an American company I got 11 hours every bi-weekly, this went in to a TOWP Bank, you used this for everything, illness, holidays, bank holidays, etc, worked very well for me but fortunately, very rare for me to have a day off through illness.

[cricketfieldclarets]

Looks like a brilliant opportunity for someone tbh. A pretty senior role. At a premier league club. With lots of travelling and involved in high profile deals. What’s not to like?

And could be a great step on the ladder in that world.

[boatshed bill]

I'm overqualified, shame really

It’s not in an area that I’ve ever worked but I would think this is a very senior role working in an area that we’ve been slow to get into.

Like I said above, a great job whilst we are in the prem. It's a job that is linked to the fortunes of the team though. The going may be good now, but in 10, 15 years time.....?

it's a good opportunity for someone who has taken early retirement and a passion for football, hopefully for BFC to, part of the outcome from this is the clear long term planning that is being put together. This along with the candidate can provide a springboard for more funds to be available for new players beyond the obvious Sky Sports and fans buying all and sundry.

Part of the role is to help keep us in the PL and any candidate worth his salt will look at that way, in a positive way.

We start the ball rolling now, increase the revenue streams then as and when we do go down we aren't entirely reliant on parachute payments and we can out spend teams in the championship without breaking FFP.

There will be clubs in the championship with people in these roles.

Anyone worth their salt in that sort of job would easily make a success of it either regardless of league or elsewhere within the league or similar.

[dougcollins]

Has Andy Lochhead retired?

[cricketfieldclarets]

And interesting that applications go to someone at Burnley FC in the Community and not Burnley FC

The lady who applications go to is HR manager for Burnley FC and community. HR is usually a group function.

She's not listed on the club website but she's a member of the Community's senior management team.

[BenWickes]

Slightly off topic but loosely connected. I had an advertisement board on the Turf in the 90's. I think his name was Tom Skelly in charge of commercial. Not sure he knew what he was doing. Arthur Bellamy was groundsman (lovely fella) and he said as much. Didn't Arthur live in the bungalow at Gawthorpe back then?

[bfcjg]

Hope Rocky applies and gets it. You'd do a deal just to get him out of the building.

[DCWat]

It's four weeks holiday per year + 8 bank holidays!!!!

How many holidays do you need per year???

I think four weeks is the absolute minimum that must be given and the average bank holidays in Europe is 12 compared to our 8.

I’d say that 25 is the general number given, plus the 8 statutory bank holidays. Length of service and seniority usually come with additional days as well.

When the working life is being extended into the seventies, a few extra paid holidays a year is perhaps the least that should be offered.

Most places are 25 as standard plus the bank holidays. And many now give you the opportunity to get an extra day per year for loyalty, buy days and even days for your birthday / wedding!

At Daisy I had 30 as standard (long service), bought 5, got 1 for my birthday and the 8 bank holidays.

That said with flexible working more prominent now it seems more organisations offer slightly less.

Holidays are as important as pay to a degree. At BT it was expected unofficially that you continued to work while on holiday. Ridiculous. Staff burn out with that approach and are far less productive.
