What's your new role about?
HERE’S SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU?
You can enable international teams of creative talent to create award winning experiences and drive innovation. You are a natural communicator who understands the complex and makes it simple. You drive every phase of the project lifecycle supporting and enabling a team of individuals. You understand the value of building relationships with internal and external communities and encourage the teams to do the same. You are always looking inwards and outwards and trying new ways of working doesn’t faze you. You constantly zoom in and out on the team’s and business’s needs and you’ve got a good balance between strategic and analytic. You can work in speed but have a firm view of the future. You are always 10 steps ahead but often look back to learn from mistakes. You are naturally curious, you understand pop culture and you are tirelessly following the design and tech trends. You are a passionate individual, your positive energy can turn any challenge into opportunities and you are a keen advocate of DAZN’s product design team.

Every design project will at some point pass under your nose, from user interface development to content pitches, from proposition designs to strategic presentations. You will be working with designers, copywriters, user researchers, technologists, product and tech managers, strategists and marketeers, across cities and continents and will play a fundamental role in raising the team’s profile internally and externally.
