For many professional fighters, the hardest transition is not physical. It is professional.
You have invested years into training, competition and discipline. You have built knowledge that very few people possess. The next step is turning that experience into a financially sustainable career.
This role is designed for coaches who want:
You continue working in MMA and multi-disciplinary martial arts every day — inside a professional environment with real athletes, ambitious members and a serious coaching culture.
This is a Swiss employment role with a competitive salary and clear structure. Your income does not depend on fight results, short-term performance, or physical wear and tear.
As part of IMPACT’s coaching group, you help shape training quality, coach development and long-term athlete pathways. Over time, this can develop into building your own fighters and contributing to a strong fight team culture.
