The Role
We are seeking an experienced creative, organised and proactive Marketing & Communications Lead to help grow and engage our global community.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys and has proven track record combining creativity with execution.

What We Are Looking For
Essential:
Who you are:
- Genuinely curious about sport, law and governance. You can read the sector and judge what's worth communicating and amplifying. This is core to the role, not a bonus.
- A precise, persuasive writer with editorial judgement.
- You take ownership from idea to delivery and are comfortable working independently and asynchronously.
- Proactive: you bring ideas rather than wait to be tasked.
Essential — what you can do:
- 2+ years in marketing, communications, content or digital marketing.
- Email marketing platforms (Mailchimp, HubSpot or similar).
- Creating social content and designing assets in Canva or similar.
- Organised across multiple concurrent projects.
- Be on hand to attend and manage communications and marketing at in-person events in UK, Europe and internationally.
Desirable:
- Experience promoting events, webinars or conferences

- Experience working within publishing, media, membership organisations or professional services
- Basic video editing skills for short-form content
- Understanding of SEO principles and content marketing
- Interest in sport, law, governance or the wider sports industry
Core Mandate
Your performance will be measured primarily by membership growth and engagement, including new members, event registrations and newsletter subscribers, alongside how actively our existing members and readers use and interact with our content, events and initiatives. Two priorities sit above everything else: (1) turn our content into reach, engagement and conversion across email and our priority channels; (2) drive registrations for our events.
