About Brighton & Hove Albion FC
We compete at the highest levels of football on a global stage whilst keeping our Sussex community spirit. Our vision is to be a top ten Premier League club and a top four Women’s Super League club. A commitment to high performance, high professional standards and making a difference is at the heart of everything we do. The 2023/24 season is the start of new adventures, our first in European football and we would love for you to be part of our journey.
Could you be the next ‘admin’?
In recent times, whilst the Seagulls have been achieving increased success on the pitch, there has been greater public interest in the Club. People are keen to learn how it is organised and managed, and to see "behind the scenes". Join us as Social Media Executive to create engaging and exciting content for the club’s social media channels that makes us stand out from the rest! Your work will be creative, the environment will be fast paced, and we will have high expectations of you. But we will give you everything you need to succeed (except for drive, determination and motivation – which you will need to bring with you!).
Your social media background
We are looking for a driven and creative individual, with excellent time-management and interpersonal skills and who thrives in a fast-paced environment. A flexible approach to working hours will be required as there is travel to home and away fixtures (domestic and international), which predominantly fall on evenings and weekends.
