And while we’re part of a successful global group, we have developed a ‘start-up’ mentality of bravery and entrepreneurialism, rooted in business-changing ideas.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Role:</span></strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">This is a role at the cutting edge of sports, gaming, and youth culture communications. You'll be the pulse of what's trending, spotting cultural moments on social channels before they go mainstream, and translating them into bold, shareable campaigns that capture audiences' imagination. Working across PR, social, and creator partnerships, you'll craft integrated campaigns that live and breathe across platforms, turning fleeting trends into powerful brand moments. This role is perfect for someone with a finger on the pulse of culture who thrives in a fast-paced, reactive environment, with the opportunity to build strategic relationships with athletes, creators, and streamers while shaping how leading brands engage with sports fans and online communities. You'll be both the strategist and executor, developing culturally-led campaigns from concept through to impact, while establishing yourself as the go-to expert on emerging trends in sports, gaming, and social media culture.</span></p> <p><strong><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
