The U.S. Soccer Federation exists in service to soccer. Our aim is to ignite a national passion for the game. Because we believe that soccer is more than a sport; it is a force for good.

We understand the importance and the power of teamwork, on and off the pitch. That is why we work closely with our Federation partners and members, to inspire, support and guide every level of the game: from the grassroots to the National Teams. We want to bring soccer into every home and every community, right across America. Because we believe that soccer can transform lives like no other sport. Soccer can represent the best of U.S.

U.S. Soccer is in a period of significant growth, with ambitious plans for U.S. Soccer in the near and far future. We are, therefore, looking for dynamic servant leaders to join us on this journey: in service to soccer. Applicants must be able to demonstrate visionary leadership, analytical decision-making, professional flexibility, and an empathic management style that builds bold teams and delivers globally significant results.

The Senior Manager, Program Delivery & Transformation serves as the operational counterpart to the Head of Refereeing, responsible for turning the strategic vision for U.S. Refereeing into practical action across the national system.

This role exists to ensure that national priorities become operational reality by connecting people, programs, technology, partnerships, and delivery. Working across Education & Development, Technology & Platforms, Operations, Communications, Soccer Markets, and Referee Leadership, the Senior Manager builds the relationships, alignment, and implementation plans necessary to strengthen how refereeing serves soccer throughout the United States.

The role leads the planning, coordination, and delivery of complex initiatives while continuously evaluating opportunities to improve how refereeing is delivered nationally, regionally, and locally. As the Federation evolves, the Senior Manager helps prepare refereeing to evolve alongside it by building trusted partnerships, understanding operational realities, and supporting thoughtful organizational change.

Success requires balancing national objectives with local realities. The successful candidate will develop a deep understanding of the referee ecosystem, listen to stakeholders, build consensus across diverse groups, and lead implementation that reflects both strategic priorities and the practical needs of the game.

Working directly with the Head of Refereeing and senior leadership, the role provides recommendations on implementation, stakeholder engagement, organizational readiness, and delivery approaches. Final strategic decisions remain with executive leadership.

Success is measured by the organization's ability to consistently deliver high-quality referee programs and services, strengthen collaboration across the soccer ecosystem, successfully implement strategic initiatives, and continuously improve how refereeing supports the game at every level.
