Who We Are: IRIS Sport Media
Founded in 2023 by former Endeavor/IMG Co-President Ioris Francini, IRIS is a boutique global sports advisory firm based in London. IRIS partners with rightsholders, operators and investors across three complementary verticals: Commercial, Strategy & Capital.
From a Strategy lens, IRIS works across a range of mandates, including commercial growth evaluation, competition format design, commercial due diligence and new IP creation, partnering with the likes of the NBA, ATP Media, LPGA and World Climbing.
IRIS currently markets global media rights for properties including the International Olympic Committee, Giro d’Italia, LPGA Tour and PFL, and works with international federations such as FIBA, World Climbing and Volleyball World.
About the Role: Manager/Senior Consultant, Strategy
As a Manager/Senior Consultant on the Strategy team at IRIS, you will be part of a small, dynamic group tasked with a broad, multi-faceted mandate, where no two days are the same. You’ll play a lead role in shaping and delivering our core consulting work, while also contributing to our go-to-market planning as a unit & broader organization. This role is cross-functional – you will partner closely with both our Commercial and Capital teams, as well as our Regional Leads, to help move the wider IRIS business forward. Given our flat structure, you’ll work directly with internal leadership as well as senior sports and media executives (CEOs, Commissioners, etc.) on a daily basis.
We are a tight-knit team and believe that we do our best work together in-person, with four days expected in our Hammersmith offices.
This role reports directly to the Head of Strategy.
Must Haves. In order to be considered for the role you must demonstrate the following:
- Minimum 3 years of experience in top tier management/strategy consulting (investment banking, PE, VC experience also considered).
- Direct experience independently owning workstreams on strategy-based projects.
- Proven analytical and critical thinking capabilities, including quantitative/financial modelling.
- Excellent collaboration & communication skills – both written and verbal.
- High degree of independence and autonomy – knowing how to prioritize tasks with little oversight. You must be a self-starter.
- A deep passion for the business side of sports & media – demonstrated intellectual curiosity about the ecosystem and the business models powering it.
Bonus Points. While not essential, we’d also love if you brought the following;
- Experience working in the sports, media and/or related sectors.
