The successful candidate will demonstrate empathy and understanding of the agency behaviours and buy into the idea that, together, we can innovate and reimagine possibilities in sport. They will take responsibility to actively manage a team of Account Managers and Account Executives, inspiring growth amongst direct reports via their Personal Development Plan.

• Able to direct and motivate the team around them

• Proven track record of contributing to growing clients

• Juggling several priorities with different deadlines

• Natural born collaborator

• Has a passionate, proactive and positive can-do approach

• Strong communication and presentation skills

• Possess the ability to work at pace and problem solve to find solutions to challenges

• Organised with strong attention to detail and time management skills

• Strong knowledge of marketing disciplines, including brand, sports and digital marketing


The role is for you, if:

• You’re hungry for an opportunity working on sport’s top brands and rights holders

• You have a passion for Sport

• You have a healthy dose of positivity with great appreciation for the need to scenario plan

• You’re passionate about how our industry can positively affect change around sustainability and DE&I

• You believe in the potential of women’s sport
