Team: Content​ 

Reporting into: PR & Content Manager 

Hybrid working status: Hybrid - 1-2 day per week at our East London studio

Studio Overview 

We are Sports Interactive

The gaming studio behind: Football Manager. 

Founded in 1994, Sports Interactive became a wholly owned subsidiary of SEGA Europe in 2006. Based at the Here East technology hub in Stratford, East London, the SI team continues to expand as we bring our titles to an ever-growing audience across an increasing variety of platforms. 

To support our growth, we welcome the opportunity to connect with passionate people with the drive to match our ambitions and initiative to realise your individual potential. 

Position Overview 

We’re looking for a creative, plugged-in Social Content Producer (Executive) to join our Content team. You’ll play a key role in writing, scheduling, and ideating social media content across our core platforms — especially Instagram and TikTok — and play a key role in growing and engaging our audience.

You’ll also get involved in content marketing more broadly — ideating and writing articles, brainstorming campaigns, and collaborating with partner brands and media. If you’re someone who lives online, loves storytelling, and understands what makes content work on different platforms, we’d love to meet you.

Key Responsibilities

• Craft and schedule posts for Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms (such as X and FB)
• Help keep our channels active year-round – when our audience are on, we’re on
• Dream up creative campaigns that spark growth and engagement.
• Collaborate with our designers to bring content ideas to life (no need to design, just know how to talk visuals).
• Track, report, and celebrate what’s working — and learn from what’s not. 
• Stay sharp on relevant trends, moments and conversations in football, gaming and culture, best practices, and what our audience cares about.
• Write relevant copy for blogs, brand collabs, emails, and more.
• Help turn content partnerships into social wins.
• Bring bold ideas to brainstorms — we’re big on creativity here. 

What You’ll Get

• Trust to shape our social presence
• Room to grow into social, content or brand roles 
• A creative, supportive team that values initiative 
• Plenty of chances to test, learn, and play with ideas
• Flexibility, autonomy, and trust

• Demonstrable experience gained over several years in social media or content marketing
• You’re genuinely into what we do and the space we’re in – an FM fan / player who understands our place in football and gaming 
• Hands-on with Instagram and TikTok, brand or creator side
• Sharp writing and communication skills — you know how to grab attention, stay on-brand, and tell a story.
• Strong understanding of how different social platforms work and what audiences expect 
• Curious, creative, proactive — you chase ideas, and you don’t wait to be told what to do. 
• Love collaborating and winning as a team
• Bonus if you’ve used scheduling tools, planned campaigns, or dug into analytics (but not a deal-breaker!)

Sound Like You?

We’d love to see your CV and a quick note on why you’re the fit. Extra points if you share your socials or a portfolio of past work.

What is it like to work here? 

We approach everything with passion, whether that is making our mark on the gaming and football industries or doing our bit for the world around us. We want to share that outlook with everyone who shows up to work here each day.  

For us, talent wins games, but teamwork wins titles. Collaboration is the key to constantly topping our best. We believe everyone matters, no matter which part of the business you are in, so we encourage and support our people in driving your own growth and realising your full potential. But, more than anything else, we are a team. A team with a down-to-earth dynamic, that has a lot of fun doing what we do. 

And whether that’s technical tweaks or fine-tuning our creative process, everything is geared at producing the best game possible for our players. To do that, we need to be tenacious and move quickly, and not be afraid of switching things up. It is these principles that have enabled us to produce a game that has defined year after year, and that will continue to push us for many more to come.  

Our flexible working culture gives you the opportunity to optimise your workload, with in-office, hybrid, and remote working options dependent on role. So, if you want a work/life balance, we are behind you. Because while we live to create extraordinary games, we know that is not all you have got going on. You can trust that we always keep things in perspective, fostering an environment where work can be more than just a job. 

We’re also a London Living Wage employer, boast one of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry and are proud to have won the ‘Best Places to Work’ award by Gamesindustry.biz in large company category in 2023. 

We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from any relevant candidate irrespective of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, religion, or belief.  

SI is proudly a Disability Confident Committed employer, and we are dedicated to ensuring our recruitment process is inclusive and accessible. Our studio has disabled access and facilities but please ensure you advise us if you require any other reasonable adjustments to be made to support you during the recruitment process. 

Our Values

Keep collaborating: Teamwork wins titles - Here, ideas belong to everyone, whatever department you’re part of. Collaboration lets us score more as a team than we could individually. 

Be flexible: We think fast and adapt faster. The football and entertainment worlds never stand still, so we keep progressing and switching things up to stay ahead. 

Stay Tenacious: We don’t overlook the details. Everything we do is about producing the best game possible, in other words, never settle. 

Show Ambition: Let your drive lead the way - Your individual outlook can give everyone the edge. Make the studio’s purpose personal and let your drive lead the way. 

Bring the Passion: Have fun doing your thing - Don’t be fooled, what we do is not a game. Making our players’ passion come to life is our passion.
