Cover Letter

05/18/25, Hiring Manager, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, 782 High Road, London, N17 0BX, United Kingdom, To Whom It May Concern: I am writing to express my strong interest in the CEO Associate position at Tottenham Hotspur. As an international business professional with over five years of strategic, analytical, and cross-functional experience across sports, business operations, and global affairs, I am excited by the opportunity to contribute to one of the world’s most iconic football clubs during a period of continued growth and innovation. With a Master’s in International Business from The Fletcher School of Global Affairs at Tufts University and experience consulting for global organizations including Boeing and the Tufts University Investment Office, I bring a sharp analytical toolkit and a structured approach to high-level decision-making. I have worked directly with senior leadership teams, delivering strategic recommendations, managing stakeholder communications, and driving long-term initiatives—skills that closely align with the demands of this role supporting the CEO. In addition to my professional background, I bring a deep understanding of the sports industry as both a former NCAA athlete and an educator. I currently teach an original high school elective titled Sports, Business, and the Worlds in Between, focused on global business operations and strategy in sport. My passion for the transformative power of sport, combined with a strong command of research, project management, and relationship-building, enables me to thrive in fast-paced environments and represent senior leadership with professionalism and care. It would be an honor to contribute to Tottenham Hotspur’s continued impact—on and off the pitch. I welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background and commitment to excellence align with the Club’s ambitions. Thank you for your time and consideration. Warm regards, Richard Offenbacher
