Commercial Research & Product Development

• Research the sports sponsorship landscape to identify interesting properties, emerging opportunities, and potential gaps in our existing offering.
• Help us understand what different rights cost across sports, markets, and levels of competition.
• Compare opportunities to determine where we believe there is particularly strong value for money.
• Work with the wider team to turn individual rights into simple, compelling commercial products that can be presented to brands.
• Think about opportunities from a client's perspective: Who would buy this? Why would they buy it? What objective could it help them achieve? And is the price commercially attractive?
• Help develop an inventory that spans different sports, territories, and price points, allowing us to provide solutions for a wide variety of client briefs and budgets.

Administration & Organisation

• Take ownership of the day-to-day organisation of our sports rights and partnership inventory.
• Maintain accurate records of rights holders, contacts, costs, available assets, contract periods, renewal dates, and sales status.
• Track conversations and follow-ups with prospective rights holders and partners.
• Coordinate internal information so that the sales and client teams always have an accurate understanding of what inventory is available.
• Support contracts, invoicing, reporting, and other administrative requirements associated with rights and partnerships.
• Help create processes that allow us to manage an increasingly large portfolio of opportunities efficiently as the business grows.

What We're Looking For

The most important qualities for this role are organisation, communication, commercial curiosity, and a genuine enthusiasm for sport.

We are looking for someone who enjoys building relationships, is comfortable speaking to both clients and commercial partners, and takes pride in being highly organised.

You do not need to be an established sports rights specialist. We would, however, expect you to be interested in developing a strong understanding of the commercial sports industry and learning how different sponsorship assets are valued.

You will ideally have:

• Strong client management or account management experience
• Excellent organisational and administrative skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Good commercial instincts and confidence working with budgets and pricing
• The ability to manage multiple conversations, opportunities, and deadlines simultaneously
• Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders, clients, and external partners
• Strong research skills and an ability to turn information into clear recommendations
• An interest in sales and understanding what makes a product commercially attractive
• A proactive approach to building new relationships
• A genuine passion for sport

Experience within sports marketing, sponsorship, partnerships, events, talent management, or a related industry will be beneficial.

Existing contacts within the sports industry would also be advantageous, but we are equally interested in someone with the personality and confidence to build that network over time.

An interest in sports such as tennis, golf, football, cricket, and Formula 1 would be particularly valuable, but curiosity about the wider sporting landscape is just as important.

What Success Looks Like

Initially, success will mean bringing structure, organisation, and consistency to how we identify, assess, and manage sports rights opportunities.

You will develop strong relationships with rights holders and partners, build a clear understanding of our clients and what they are looking for, and become increasingly confident in identifying opportunities that represent genuine commercial value.

As you develop within the role, we would expect you to take greater ownership of sourcing and negotiating opportunities and help us build a diverse portfolio of rights across different sports, territories, and investment levels.

Ultimately, this role will help us strengthen both our commercial proposition and our inventory, giving our sales team more opportunities to take to market and allowing us to provide existing and prospective clients with increasingly creative, relevant, and cost-effective ways to invest in sport.

The ambition is for brands to be able to come to us with almost any sporting brief, audience, territory, or budget and for us to have the relationships, knowledge, and inventory required to find the right solution.
