Reporting to the Digital Content Manager, you'll play a key role in producing and publishing content across Sydney FC's digital channels. This is a hands-on role for someone who takes initiative, identifies content opportunities without being asked and is confident working independently while maintaining high creative and professional standards. No two days are the same. One morning you could be filming first-team training, the next creating content with club partners, writing a website article or helping cover a sold-out Sydney Derby at Allianz Stadium. You'll work closely with our wider Content & Marketing team to develop fresh ideas, execute campaigns and ensure Sydney FC continues producing engaging content that reaches supporters across every platform. This role has been designed as a launchpad for the next generation of sports content creators. You'll receive hands-on experience across elite football, mentorship from the Digital Content Manager and the opportunity to take ownership of major club initiatives.
This is a contract for the 2026/27 season, starting on the 1st October 2026 and running until 31st May 2027.
