About Brighton & Hove Albion FC

We compete at the highest levels of football on a global stage while embracing our Sussex community spirit. At the heart of everything we do is our commitment to high performance, professional excellence, and making a positive impact.

Help us enable elite football performance through advanced technology

This role acts as the technology interface between the Technology Department and Football Operations, ensuring the right tools, systems, and infrastructure are in place to support player performance, coaching, medical, and analysis teams.

We are looking for someone with extensive experience in technology roles, in a performance sport or analysis environment. You must have experience managing wearables, video analysis tools, and high-spec hardware/software environments. Your previous roles will have given you hands-on experience with technologies such as AI, drones, VR, biomechanics tools, and advanced video analysis in high-performance settings. You must have excellent communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical and football domains.
