Content Producer, Soccer

ABOUT US

We are Two Circles, the four-time UK Sport Industry Agency of the Year, and we are a sports marketing, data technology and content company.

We work with over 200 sports properties, including NFL, FIFA, Premier League, Amazon Prime Video, UEFA, F1, IOC, Paris 2024 and Wimbledon. Working as an extension of their commercial teams, we help them grow direct relationships with fans to drive business growth, as well as creating industry leading content for all platforms.

Data is at the center of our approach. It starts with helping clients to get a better understanding of their customers and deliver insights that influence top-level decision-making. From there, we develop and integrate data technology solutions that harness the latest in data visualization and machine-learning and provide digital marketing and rights-sales services that grow revenue across ticketing, premium, sponsorship and media.

Our creative approach and innovative ideas stand us out from the crowd. In doing so, we break down the traditional barriers between sporting organizations and their customers.

We currently have a growing team of over 600 Two Circlers based across Europe and North America. Our offices in New York, Kansas City, Miami and Los Angeles are rapidly expanding as our work with the NFL, FIFA, MLB, LA28 and several others continues apace.

About the Role:

We are looking for a social media channel manager to join our talented and growing content team in North America.
