The successful applicant will take a lead role in ideas generation and execution of such in a range of formats, including written, audio and video content.
Reporting to the Marketing and Communications Director, the post holder will also oversee the Club’s relationship with members of the media, supporting the Content and Media Relations Executive with any external media enquiries as necessary, while also being proactive in engaging the media with information and news from the Club.
