About us

At MWS, we are on a mission to become the home of game-worn culture. We do this by connecting global fanbases to the ultimate fan item: match-worn and signed shirts from the world's biggest athletes and brands around the world. We accelerate engagement, interaction and revenue by enabling our customers to access pieces of sporting history, while raising funds for the causes that matter most to our partners. And the best part? We do it all live from the kick-off. With more than 400 partners globally, we are the outright market leaders in our industry. We see ourselves as innovators, constantly looking for new ways to surprise and delight our audience.

• Performance Analysis: Track partnership metrics and conduct data analysis to build insightful presentations for partner feedback.

• Quality Control: Lead on platform quality control to guarantee a consistent gold-standard experience for every partner auction.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with internal teams (Marketing, Operations, Tech) to streamline processes and optimize overall partnership management.
