The Senior Manager, Media Sales is a key supporting role within the Premier League’s Media Rights team, helping to drive the sales process and development of the League’s media rights business internationally.

Working closely with the Director of Media Sales and regional Heads of Media Sales, the role will support rights sales activity, partner management, market intelligence, and internal coordination across our international territories.

The role will suit someone who is highly organised, commercially curious, proactive and keen to develop a career in international sports media and rights sales.

Our hybrid-working model also allows you some variety on your place of work, offering you the chance to work from home on some days each week.
