Strategy and Communications, Consultant (Strategic Sports Advisory Team)

Job description

The Role
As a key member of our growing team, you would be focused on servicing our existing global client base and supporting senior members of the team in prospecting for and winning new client mandates. You would also have some responsibility for contributing to thought leadership and marketing efforts
Our Team
Sport no longer operates in a vacuum - reputation plays a greater role than ever before in driving commercial value. Recent years have shown the depth of feeling towards sport. As the global audience grows, sport reflects some of the most complex societal issues. This will intensify throughout 2024 and beyond. Getting it wrong presents significant reputational and commercial risk. Governing bodies, sports franchises and their owners need the right commercial, operational and governance structures to promote and enhance value.

Teneo Strategic Sports Advisory takes an insight-led approach to enable our clients to understand, address and tackle existential issues that cannot be managed by traditional sports marketing advisers. We operate where issues and the serious business of sport meet, based on the principles of sport as an enabler of social equality and a right for all.
Skills and Experience required

• 3-5 years' experience gained in an international sporting entity or franchise/club, sports/financial journalism, strategic communications consultancy and/or a major broadcast rights partner
• A solid understanding of business, financial and sports media, and media relations
• An ability to think across audiences, from investors, to sports fans, to media and political stakeholders, and beyond geographical borders
• A willingness to learn, intellectually curious and with a global mindset
• Languages are an advantage (not essential to the role)
• A strong personal interest in sports and the business of sports
