We are seeking a versatile and highly organised Social Media & Communications Executive with 4-6 years of experience to join our passionate, small agency specialising in sports content creation. Social media is a large part of this role, but we need someone equally comfortable writing website articles, drafting press releases, and representing our sporting clients on the ground at events.

The right candidate must have the ability to juggle multiple clients and projects at once as well as a proven track record of managing competing priorities while still delivering creative, high-quality work.

You will manage a variety of exciting client accounts within the sports sector - crafting compelling content, maximising engagement, writing for the web and media, and overseeing the day-to-day operations of social media channels.
