Location: UK - Leeds

Why Join DAZN?

DAZN is transforming the way the world consumes sport — combining cutting‑edge technology, data‑driven innovation, and world‑class storytelling to deliver an unrivalled fan experience. Behind the scenes, our Technology and Product teams are powering that transformation — designing, building, and scaling the global platform that brings sport to millions of fans around the world.

As our Communications Manager – Technology & Product, you’ll play a vital role in shaping how we tell that story. You’ll help bring DAZN’s innovation, product vision, and delivery excellence to life through impactful, digital‑first communications that inform, inspire, and connect teams across the business.

If you love technology, thrive in a fast‑paced global environment, and can translate complex technical concepts into simple, engaging narratives — this is the perfect opportunity to make your mark.

The Role

You’ll lead communications across DAZN’s CTO domain, working closely with the Chief Technology Officer, Product, Engineering, Delivery teams and Business partner to align messaging and tell a consistent story about how DAZN builds and evolves its technology platform.

This is a hands‑on, strategic role that blends content creation with campaign management. You’ll craft clear, compelling communications for both internal and external audiences — from leadership presentations and employee updates to blogs, case studies, and event storytelling. You’ll also help raise the visibility of DAZN’s technology leadership externally, positioning DAZN as a recognised innovator in the global sports‑tech space.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Support the CTO and technology leadership in defining and delivering an integrated communications plan that aligns with DAZN’s business and innovation goals.
• Develop and maintain consistent messaging across Product, Engineering, and Delivery teams, ensuring clarity and alignment across all channels.
• Translate technical concepts into engaging, easy‑to‑understand narratives for both internal and external audiences.
• Partner with product and delivery teams to communicate milestones, roadmaps, and transformation progress across global teams.
• Create high‑quality decks, presentations, and briefing materials for leadership communications, town halls, and industry events.
• Develop and publish internal communications — newsletters, intranet articles, and announcements — that build awareness of technology initiatives.
• Support external storytelling around DAZN’s innovation, platform, and partnerships, including blogs, media content, and award submissions.
• Collaborate with the wider Communications team to ensure message alignment across markets and departments.
• Track and report on communication engagement, providing insights and recommendations for continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring:

• 4–7 years’ experience in communications, product marketing, or corporate affairs within a technology, media, or digital business.
• Proven track record managing multi‑stakeholder communication projects from strategy through to delivery.
• Experience crafting and tailoring content for technical and product‑led audiences.
• Strong design and presentation skills across PowerPoint, Keynote, and Google Slides.
• Excellent writing, editing, and storytelling skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas.
• Understanding of technology, software development, or engineering environments.
• Highly collaborative, proactive, and comfortable managing competing priorities in a global, fast‑paced setting.
• Strong interpersonal and influencing skills with the confidence to work directly with senior stakeholders.

Benefits

Benefits include access to DAZN, 25 days’ annual leave (increasing by 3 days after 3 years), private medical insurance, life assurance, pension contributions up to 5%, family friendly community including enhanced parental leave, electric vehicle benefit option, free access for you and one other to our workplace mental health platform app (Unmind), learning and development resources, opportunity for flexible working, and access to our internal speaker series and events.
