WHO WE ARE...
SPORTFIVE is a global agency working across sponsorships, advertising, talent, activation, and hospitality within sports. Globally, we have over 1,200 employees who strategically and creatively connect brands, rights-holders, media platforms, and fans across Football, F1, NFL, NBA, Golf, Esports, Olympics, and more.
Whether it’s supporting Premier League football clubs to secure their next front of shirt sponsor, curating deals for brands to showcase their advertising during games televised to millions across the world, or representing the best talent in our industry, connecting sports organisations to incredible brands and partners is at the heart of what we do.
Having been voted the No.1 most attractive sports marketing agency to work for three consecutive years, as well as featuring in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work, we’re incredibly proud of our culture and the people that help to nurture it. If you want to help shape the future of the sports industry, then we want to hear from you.
YOUR NEW TEAM…
Our Global Advisory Team delivers data-driven insights and strategic recommendations for clients across the sports industry. Drawing on our expertise, experience, knowledge, data, and robust market and media research, we support sports organisations to build and optimise their commercial models, structures, and strategies in line with their target audiences and wider business objectives.
This role will form part of a brand-new global team being brought into the business to strengthen our consultancy offering. The team will help rights-holders, brands, and partners better understand the commercial opportunities in this rapidly growing space, from sponsorship strategy and inventory optimisation through to pricing, go-to-market planning, and partnership performance measurement.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
