• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the confidence to manage agencies and suppliers.
• The ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment.
• A genuine passion for football and audience-led storytelling.

Experience and technical skills:

• A proven track record delivering livestreams, highlights and video-on-demand content in a sports or digital broadcast environment.
• Experience curating and publishing archive footage across owned or app-based platforms.
• Demonstrable experience managing footage rights and compliance.
• Professional experience using Adobe Creative Cloud, including Premiere Pro and After Effects.
• Strong working knowledge of cloud-based production, clipping and archive management systems.
• Experience using digital asset management or media archive platforms.
• Ability to quality-check and troubleshoot live and on-demand content.
