How you’ll work:
We've adopted a hybrid working approach to give more flexibility on where and how we work. For this role, you'll need to be happy to travel regularly and work weekends as required to support live sporting events and production schedules, and a full UK driving licence is essential. The hybrid working expectation is 3 days per week in our Osterley office. As this role is closely linked to live football matches and other sporting events, flexibility around working hours, including evenings and weekends, is important, and you'll spend time both in the office and on location, working closely with production teams, stakeholders and external partners to deliver high-quality sporting content.
