- Strong media relations track record
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft clear, concise messaging for a variety of audiences

What the job involves
- We would love to hire a Corporate Communications Senior Manger, who can help us tell this story in the biggest sports market in the world
- We think, humbly, that our business could become the most recognized, respected, and influential sports business in the world in a matter of years. We aren’t quite there yet, but that’s where you come in
- The components for you to work with are already in place: massive ambition, incredible people, a dynamic culture, the best clients in the business, over a billion dollars of growth delivered to sports, and more data to describe the relationships fans have with sports that any company out there
- What we need is somebody to come in to our North American business and use these parts to build a well-oiled comms machine that makes our phone ring and makes us famous with the right people in all the right places across North America
- You will be responsible for all aspects of Two Circles’ communications in North America, including media relations, digital communications and internal communications
- With guidance from our Marketing & Communications Director based in London, you will develop and execute communications strategies that align with our ambitious business goals. And your mission - should you chose to accept it - is to ensure our agency punches above its weight to own the narrative and commentary within the sports industry
- Build the reputation of our agency in North America through owned and earned media coverage
- Design and execute a localized strategy for communications linked directly to our agency strategy
- Work with Marketing & Communications Director to develop and communicate an overarching ‘narrative’ and ensure this narrative is widely understood and adopted in North America
- Work alongside other leaders in our North American business to ensure that messaging is aligned with our core values and business objectives
- Establish our North American leadership team as go-to people for commentary on the sports & technology sectors
- Network Two Circles into rooms and onto stages we wouldn’t otherwise be in, as a host or an attendee
- Cultivate and maintain relationships with key media outlets, journalists, and influencers within the North American sports industry
Our take
Two Circles is a digital sports marketing agency that develops and executes marketing strategies for sports-based companies, supplying the means to maximise sponsorship rights fees, increase commercial performance, engage the right audiences, and use data to inform future strategy.
As well as delivering front-running marketing tech and services for the sports industry, the company also dedicates itself to improving diversity and inclusion in sports, including its "Diversity in Sports" mentoring program that aims to accelerate the growth of under-represented talent across the industry.
Two Circles works with more than 300 sports rights holders including the likes of the NFL, UEFA, F1, and the ICC as well as $1bn sponsorship revenues. A series of acquisitions have contributed to the expansion of the business - for example, that of Australia-based digital specialist Codeware, which came alongside the opening of a Melbourne office, has enabled it to grow its presence in the Oceania region and bolster its tech offering

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Two Circles
- Two Circles strives to be a leader in D&I, and though as a business we are by no means the finished product, we are committed to being an agent for change across sports. This means challenging the status quo, giving voices to those previously voiceless, and being an advocate for inclusion.
- Two Circles is committed to creating and maintaining a work environment that is welcoming, and where Two Circlers feel safe and free to be themselves. How we do this is led by our People, Diversity & Inclusion Manager – a full-time role created within the business in 2022.
- Two Circler-led Forums – which currently include Change the Game (dedicated to women in sport), the Ethnicity Network, and the LGBTQ+ Network – provide a safe and welcoming space to address key topics affecting our society today, and meet regularly to influence Two Circles commitments, both internally and externally. Recently these have included our leadership structure, language used across the company and clients we work with.
- Across the year, we use internal and experts to educate and upskill our business in creating and maintaining an inclusive work environment, while we are audited annually against global multi-national corporations on the Global DEI benchmarks Commentary. In our last audit we were rated as “better developed than many larger and more-resourced organisations”, something we are very proud of!
- All our recruitment processes ensure applicants are judged on their suitability without discrimination, and we work with every Two Circler on an individual basis to design roles and career pathways that align with their interests.
- We also run Diversity in Sports, a six-month mentoring programme that accelerates the growth of under-represented talent across the industry. Launched in 2019, the programme offers opportunities and resources to develop well-rounded skills to help pave a career in the sports industry – and it is open to anyone who has faced career barriers.
- In the UK, our internship opportunities have also been established as a Positive Action Scheme, meaning they are open only to applicants from underrepresented or disadvantaged groups.
- Two Circles works with a range of charitable organizations who are using sports to represent, and improve the lives of, people who have faced exclusion. This includes our pro bono charity partnership with Special Olympics GB, the sports organization for children and adults with intellectual disabilities. We are also proud shirt sponsors of Surrey Cerebral Palsy, the football club that is on the charge to the Cerebral Palsy National League, while we have a number of client projects driving the growth and inclusivity of Paralympic and women’s sport globally.
