Job Description

Social Media Manager

London | Hybrid | Competitive salary + great benefits

We’re looking for a Social Media Manager who gets what makes sports content tick. Someone who's just as comfortable creating a real-time post during a live match as they are planning a campaign that keeps fans coming back for more.

Ideally, you’ve worked at a sports agency, broadcaster, club or league in a Social Media Exec/Producer or Junior Manager role. You’ve covered events live (on-site and remotely), you know how to write punchy captions in the heat of the moment, and you’ve got a great eye for content that cuts through.

What you'll be doing:

Running multiple social channels day-to-day, keeping calendars sharp and content flowing

Creating ideas for campaigns and social-first content that sports fans actually want to see

✍️ Writing real-time and scheduled copy that brings events to life

Briefing editors, designers and creators (internal and external)

Covering live sport and jumping into action when big moments happen

Optimising content across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube

Editing short-form video using Premiere Pro and CapCut

️ Light Photoshop work to tweak and repurpose graphics/templates

You’ll bring:

⚽ A genuine passion for sport and a strong editorial instinct

Deep knowledge of social platforms and what performs
