Senior Manager, Media Sales

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 is intended to strengthen the media sales team’s ability to manage both existing partner relationships and future sales opportunities, while bringing greater structure, coordination and follow-through to the sales process across multiple territories.

This role is designed to add meaningful commercial capacity to the media sales team by supporting market analysis, sales preparation, partner engagement, internal reporting, and the day-to-day progression of rights discussions and international initiatives. It will help ensure the team is better placed to identify and develop new opportunities, maintain high standards of partner management, and respond effectively to the increasing complexity of the media landscape.

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.

Who we are
The Premier League is home to some of the most competitive and compelling football in the world. The League and its Clubs use the power and popularity of the competition to inspire fans, communities and partners in the UK and across the world. The Premier League brings people together from all backgrounds. It is a competition for everyone, everywhere and is available to watch in over 900 million homes in 189 countries.

We have a wide variety of responsibilities. These include organising the competition and its Handbook as well as managing the centralised broadcast and commercial rights. The work we do in conjunction with the Clubs also goes far beyond the 90 minutes. We support and provide a framework for youth development, we protect the organisation’s intellectual property, support the wider game and community programmes, undertake international development work and liaise with governing bodies and other leagues. 

The Premier League is an equal opportunities employer and strives to create an inclusive culture where talent can flourish. We believe in the potential of everyone and open our doors to those who share those values. All appointments will be made based on merit; however, we particularly encourage applications from women, people from minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people.  

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. Where possible, you will attend the office or site visits in line with our company policy. All staff liaise closely with their line manager to manage their time appropriately and according to their work and team requirements.
