How our management works

UKF is organized like a real sports club operation: responsibilities are owned, decisions are documented, and execution is tracked.

  • STRUCTURE - Clear hierarchy and defined responsibilities.
  • EXECUTION - Short paths, fast delivery, measurable outcomes.
  • COMPLIANCE - Clean documentation, transparent handling, club-first decisions.

Executive Board

We set the strategic direction, represent the club externally, and ensure clean finances and processes.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

UKF is democratically organized. The key bodies are the general meeting and the executive board.

WORKFLOW & DECISION-MAKING

Simple system: one owner per topic, written decisions, measurable execution.

Ownership

Every topic has exactly one responsible owner.

  • Clear responsibility → faster decisions
  • No "everyone is responsible" situations
  • Escalation stays clean and predictable
Single owner Clear accountability

Documentation

Decisions are written down. Tasks are traceable.

  • Decisions stay verifiable over time
  • Tasks are trackable and visible
  • Less confusion, fewer repeats
Decision log Task tracking

Tracking

We measure outcomes — not just activity.

  • Growth, sponsor conversions, retention
  • Team results and competitive progress
  • Regular reviews → adjust priorities
Results-based Regular review

FAQ

Do I need eSports experience?

No. For management roles, reliability and ownership matter more than being a player. If you have eSports know-how, great — but it's not required.

How do I apply?

Join our Discord and open a management application ticket. If Discord is not an option, you can also contact us via email.

Do I need to become a club member to join management?

Usually not. Most management roles do not require club membership. However, leadership positions such as directors and board roles are reserved for registered club members. If you choose to become a member anyway, you directly support the club's work and long-term stability.

How long is the trial phase?

Usually 2–4 weeks. The goal is to see consistent execution, communication, and a clean handover of tasks.

How much time do I need per week?

Depends on the department and role. Most roles work well with a few hours per week — consistency matters more than volume.

Can I join remotely?

Yes. Management work is coordinated digitally. Discord is our main hub, plus documentation and task tracking.

Is the management work paid?

No. Management work is voluntary.

Which roles are currently needed?

We are currently looking for Competitive Admins on an ongoing basis. People for Marketing and IT are also regularly sought. Which specific tasks and positions are currently open depends on the current needs and internal structure.

Is there an NDA before management onboarding?

Yes. For all management roles, a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) must be signed at the latest before access data and internal information are handed over. This protects internal data and tools.

What is the minimum age for management applications?

Yes. New applicants for management positions must generally be of legal age (18 or older) in order to ensure full legal capacity – especially for NDAs.
