Tottenham’s new chief executive officer, Vinai Venkatesham, has already started looking for new staff to work with him at Spurs this summer, and he has now advertised for one of those roles publicly.
It was announced last month that Venkatesham will join as Tottenham’s new CEO at the end of the season and will be the latest addition to the club’s board.
The 44-year-old held the same position at Spurs’ fierce rivals, Arsenal, for over a decade before resigning last year, and Venkatesham is expected to take charge of operational matters on and off the field at Tottenham.
It remains to be seen how Venkatesham’s arrival will affect the role of senior Spurs figures, with some reports stating that Scott Munn may leave Tottenham this summer.

According to Football.London, the new Tottenham CEO has taken to LinkedIn to promote a new role working alongside him at Tottenham.
His post reads: “Looking for an exceptional individual to fill an exciting role. This person will work closely with me and other colleagues to help deliver the club’s key priorities.
“The role is ideally suited to a high-performing strategy consultant (or similar) with three to four years’ experience and excellent interpersonal skills. This individual will support the delivery of the key priorities of the CEO, across both football and business operations, with a focus on the latter.

“They will support the CEO in various ways across those priorities, including analysis, project management, strategic direction and by being a trusted, independent sounding board in his decision making. This role will suit an individual who thrives in fast-paced environments, loves orchestrating organisational excellence and has exceptional emotional intelligence as well as relationship-building skills.”
Football.London say that the new job posting is for someone at a graduate level, with approximately three to four years of experience in strategy consulting or similar strategic and analytical roles, with the applications for the role closing on May 29.
Summer of change expected at Spurs
Scott Munn and Ange Postecoglou may not be the only two who leave Spurs this summer, with reports indicating that Tottenham could be set for wholesale changes at the top this summer.
It has been claimed that departments like medical, sports science and analytics are all under review as the club look to correct their wrongs from this season and turn a new page.
This job posting from Venkatesham is perhaps proof that we are indeed likely to see some big changes behind the scenes at Tottenham.
