You will also create content to support and promote BBC Sport’s long form iPlayer documentaries such as Cristiano Ronaldo: Impossible to Ignore, Free Spirits, and Robbie Savage: Making Macclesfield FC.

 

The ideal candidate

The ideal candidate will have previous experience creating video content across a range of styles and formats that is exciting, engaging and informative, and have excellent self-shooting and video editing skills.

You will have a good understanding of how digital platforms differ in terms of their styles and trends, and be able to tailor your content to make the biggest impact on each of them.

You will be an excellent communicator, able to collaborate with other teams within BBC Sport and beyond in order to deliver the best outcomes, and be comfortable working alongside high profile talent. The ability to use Adobe creative software is highly desirable.

Our extensive rights portfolio means that over the next few months alone we’ll be covering the Premier League, and FA Cup, Wimbledon, the women’s Euros, Commonwealth Games, The Hundred, Rugby League World Cup and men’s World Cup, boxing, Bellator MMA and a whole lot more

Our aim is to grow the sports fan in everyone – if you think you can help us to do that, then this is a brilliant opportunity for any creative content maker.

Vacancy: Independent non-executive director

The company and competitions 

On 15 February 2022, Scottish Women’s Football (“SWF”), the Scottish FA and the Scottish  Professional Football League (“SPFL”) jointly announced that, from summer 2022, responsibility  for the top two divisions of Scottish women’s football would pass from SWF to the SPFL. This  followed a consultation process involving the 17 women’s elite football clubs in Scotland and a  lengthy governance review, carried out by the Scottish FA in association with UEFA. 

The SPFL has a history stretching back over 122 years of running professional football leagues and  is well placed to accelerate the growth of the women’s elite game in Scotland at this crucial point  in its history. 

The Scottish Women’s Premier League Limited (“SWPL”) is a private limited company and a wholly  owned subsidiary of the SPFL. It will have a board of nine directors, made up of: 

- an independent non-executive chair 

- an independent non-executive director 

- a Managing Director 

- one representative appointed by the SPFL 

- four non-executive directors appointed by SWPL1 clubs 

- one non-executive director appointed by SWPL2 clubs 

 

The inaugural season of league competition in the new era, starting this summer, will see two league divisions, constituted as follows: 

SWPL1 

12 clubs playing each other once home, once away (i.e. 22 games) before the division splits into  two halves, each of six clubs. Each club will then play each other club in its half once more, home and away (i.e. ten games) – making 32 games in total. 

The top team will be the champion club, earning it a place in the UEFA Women’s Champion League  (alongside the second-placed club) in season 2023/24. 

The 12th placed club will be relegated to SWPL2; whilst the 11th placed club will play-off against  team 2 in SWPL2 for the right to play in the SWPL1 for season 2023/24. 

SWPL2 

8 clubs playing each other twice home, twice away (i.e. 28 games).

The top club will be promoted automatically to SWPL1. The second placed club will play off against  club 11 in SWPL1, as set out above. 

The 8th placed club will be relegated automatically to the SWF Championship. 

The 7th placed club will play off against the second team in the SWF Championship for the right to play in SWPL2 for season 2023/24. 

League Cup 

The Company will also run a cup competition for the 20 clubs in the SWPL2. 

 

Company objectives 

- To run league and cup competitions with standing and recognition throughout Europe and  globally. 

- To maximise and deliver the commercial potential of the above competitions for the benefit of  the member clubs. 

- To achieve transformative financial growth for the women’s game in Scotland. 

- Provide leadership in the development of key initiatives to improve the quality of the game in  Scotland and to set a pace for the whole of Scottish women’s football. 

- Build strong relationships with stakeholders including Government, broadcasters, competition  organisers and football governing bodies in Scotland and around the world. 

 

Role 

The role of Independent Non-Executive Director involves acting as one of the eight non-executives  on the board – but only one of two who are independent of both the SWPL clubs and the SPFL. 

The Independent Non-Executive Director will be expected to support and challenge the executive  team, led by the Managing Director, and to work in collaboration with the Independent Non Executive Chair, the SPFL representative and the five club-appointed directors to steer the  organisation.

- Board Remuneration Committee 

- Sub Committees of the SPFL Board to deal with issues such as:

- Rule Breaches 

- Disputes 

It is expected that a time commitment of one day per fortnight on average would be required. 

The role will suit someone who has a passion for Scottish women’s football and who wants to be  part of this exciting and important industry at this crucial point in its development. 

 

Competences 

- Diplomacy and patience. 

- Excellent communication and meeting skills. 

- A flexible personality; a persuader and influencer. 

- Independent of member clubs or willing to become so. 

- Strong existing network in Scotland and beyond. 

 

Prior experience
