Sports Administrator

Player Support Coordinator - Essex - £26,000 - £28,000 - Full-time

Dream of working in sport?

This is a rare opportunity to join a leading global sports brand as a Player Support Coordinator in a fast-paced player management environment.

You'll become an integral part of the team supporting professional sports athletes & players, helping to ensure they have everything they need to perform at their best. From coordinating equipment, branded merchandise, and player requests to providing exceptional day-to-day support, you'll play a vital role behind the scenes.

This is much more than a traditional administration role. You'll become a trusted member of a close-knit team, building strong relationships, solving problems, and helping deliver a first-class experience for professional players competing on some of the sport's biggest stages.

No two days are the same. One day you could be coordinating merchandise orders, the next ensuring a sponsored player has everything they need ahead of a major tournament or event. Please note: This role requires regular travel between the organisation's two local sites; you must have a full UK driving licence and car.

• Energetic and proactive
• A confident communicator
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities
• Confident using Microsoft Office
• Reliable and happy taking ownership of tasks
• Eager to build a career within sport

Essential Requirements

• Previous administration, coordination, or customer service experience
• Strong organisational and communication skills
• Full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle

Why Join? - This opportunity would particularly suit a sports graduate, sports club administrator, academy administrator, sports operations assistant, customer service coordinator or someone in their first or second office-based role looking to build a long-term career in sport.

• Work behind the scenes in professional sport
• Support some of the sport's top players
• Gain exposure to player management and sports operations
• Join a growing international sports brand
• Friendly, supportive and collaborative team environment
• Excellent opportunity for a sports graduate or someone in their first or second office-based role
