Senior Account Manager – Football Sponsorship Activation
London | Hybrid
We’re working with one of the most exciting independent agencies in the sports marketing space.
Built to challenge the traditional agency model, they’ve quickly established themselves as a go-to partner for ambitious brands looking to create culturally relevant, commercially impactful work across sport and entertainment.
Agile, entrepreneurial and deeply collaborative.
Following the recent win of a major football sponsorship account, they’re now looking for a Senior Account Manager to help lead and deliver integrated sponsorship activation campaigns.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who lives and breathes sponsorship, understands how to activate partnerships properly beyond logo placement, and wants to be part of an agency genuinely on the rise.
The Role
Reporting into a Senior Account Director, you’ll play a key role in managing a flagship football partnership account, overseeing campaign delivery, client relationships and integrated activation plans from strategy through to execution.
This role sits at the heart of the agency and requires someone commercially minded, highly organised and confident managing multiple stakeholders across rights holders, clients, talent, production and wider agency teams.
You’ll help deliver campaigns that cut through culturally, engage fans authentically and maximise sponsorship value across digital, social, experiential and content-led activations.

- Someone confident leading projects end-to-end with exceptional attention to detail
- Commercially aware with strong strategic thinking and problem-solving ability

- A collaborative personality who enjoys being hands-on and part of a growing business
This could suit:
- A Senior Account Manager looking for a bigger platform and more ownership
- Or a very strong Account Manager ready to step up into a more senior role
