Manchester FA is looking to recruit Executive Directors from our Member Clubs and Leagues to help strategically shape and support the development of grassroots football across Greater Manchester.  The Executive Director roles are voluntary and will assist our Board of Directors to make informed decisions as to the direction, support and investment required to support the growth and development of grassroots football locally.   We are therefore looking for individuals who have a credible knowledge and understanding of the grassroots game together with experience of good corporate governance within sport.
