Overview
Working within Sportradar's newly formed Rights & Partnership Protection (RPP) team, the Partnership Protection Specialist will serve as a key liaison between Sportradar and major sports rights holders across Europe and Asia.
The role is responsible for supporting the protection, enhancement, and operational effectiveness of Sportradar's sports partnerships through a combination of field operations, intelligence gathering, stakeholder engagement, and investigative activity.
