• Create print and digital marketing material for the Club
• Work alongside other full-time members of staff to develop the matchday experience

The right candidate will have experience in using digital content creation tools and they will be expected to provide examples of previous work should they be accepted for an interview.

A candidate currently involved in sports media or marketing, ideally within football, is likely to suit the role, although all applications are welcomed.
