Head of Strategy

TOCA Social is a premium sports entertainment concept that combines the world’s most popular sport, football, with food, drink, and social experiences. Our venues, which span five international markets, bring together cutting-edge football technology and hospitality to create a genuinely differentiated leisure experience.

Backed by major industry investors and with global expansion now firmly underway, this is a pivotal moment to join TOCA Social. We have proven the concept. Now we are scaling it.

Job Highlights:

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the centre of a high-growth consumer brand and directly shape its trajectory. As Head of Strategy, you will be the analytical and strategic engine behind TOCA Social’s most important decisions, working closely with the Global President on a day-to-day basis.

The role is deliberately broad. On any given week you might be building a financial model for a new venue opportunity, preparing a board presentation, stress-testing a commercial partnership, or shaping how we think about long-term growth. You will work across the full business, not just advise from the sidelines.

This role also comes with genuine exposure to the world of football, access to TOCA’s growing network of partnerships, and the satisfaction of seeing your work directly influence how the business grows.

Role Scope & Responsibilities

• Partner with the Global President and senior leadership on strategic planning, board- level presentations, and investor communications. Own financial modelling across new venue opportunities, real estate decisions, and capital planning, from initial thesis through to execution.
• Lead commercial analysis and due diligence on partnerships, sponsorships, and new market entry opportunities.
• Translate operational and revenue data into clear strategic insight, helping the business make faster, better-informed decisions.
• Drive high-priority cross-functional projects from framing through to delivery, often working directly with venue operations, marketing, and commercial teams.
• Support TOCA Social’s global expansion as new markets open, applying rigorous analysis to prioritisation and business case development.

Who we are looking for:

We are looking for finance or consulting professionals at the Manager or Senior Manager level, typically 5 to 8 years into their career, who are ready to step up to the next phase in their development. What matters more than your title is the quality of your thinking and your ability to get things done.

You likely come from one of the following backgrounds:

• Strategy consulting
• Private equity or venture capital with operating exposure

• Investment banking or advisory
• In-house strategy or corporate development at a consumer, leisure, or media business
• Strategic finance roles

Beyond background, you will bring:

• Financial modelling experience and strong analytical skills, with a genuine comfort with ambiguity and incomplete data.
• The ability to communicate complex ideas simply, whether in a board deck, a one- pager, or a conversation with an operator.
• A bias toward execution. You do not just frame problems, you help solve them.
• Commercial instinct and an interest in the consumer and live entertainment space.
• A collaborative working style and the confidence to push back when it matters.

What We Offer:

• A seat at the table in a growing business with genuine strategic ambition.
• Competitive base salary, benchmarked to experience.
• Equity upside aligned to TOCA Social’s growth.
• The opportunity to travel internationally as our expansion accelerates.
• A London-based role in a culture that values curiosity, directness, and working as a close team.

Benefits:

You’ll have full access to our TOCA Treats, which includes (but is not limited to!):

• Discretionary annual bonus
• Enhanced annual leave allowance
• Complimentary TOCA games and discounts on our F&B
• Local retail & hospitality discounts
• Teammate Assistance Programme with access to free counselling sessions
• Future growth opportunities within the business
