• Strong knowledge of the sports industry and media landscape
• Experience overseeing shoots, events, launches and high-profile moments
• Commercial acumen, including budget management and campaign forecasting
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams simultaneously
• Experience managing and inspiring high-performing teams

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and execution of innovative, earned-first media strategies
• Oversee all media communications, ensuring messaging lands effectively across traditional, digital and creator ecosystems
• Act as senior client lead and trusted advisor
• Drive campaign planning, reporting and performance evaluation
• Manage budgets, suppliers and talent contracts
• Lead brainstorms and shape creative responses to briefs
• Support new business growth and expansion opportunities
• Champion a culture of high standards, collaboration and ambition

This is an opportunity to join a team on a rapid upward trajectory, delivering work that wins attention, headlines and awards.
