Why Join DAZN?
DAZN is the global home of sport, delivering premium live and on-demand coverage across a wide range of sports. DAZN's social ecosystem reflects this breadth — with sport-specific handles driving depth and fandom, supported by the general @DAZN handle to amplify moments and stories across the portfolio.

This role offers the opportunity to lead how DAZN's multisport social coverage is planned, executed, and scaled — ensuring internal teams are deployed efficiently across key events, priorities, and platforms.

If you're passionate about sport, culture, and digital storytelling, and excited about building meaningful engagement with sports audiences at scale, DAZN is the place to make your impact.

As Social Manager — DAZN, you will be responsible for leading the team of internal content creators dedicated to covering DAZN's key company priorities across major sports rights.

Sitting within the Social team, this role focuses on strategy, programming, and people management across multiple social handles. You will ensure the internal team is flexible and effectively deployed to support sport-specific priority handles while also programming and contributing to the @DAZN handle as a supporting, cross-sport channel.

This is a player-coach role requiring strong editorial judgement across multiple sports, clear leadership, and the ability to still create and publish content when needed.

Salary Range: $85,000 to $100,000. This is hybrid role which will be based mostly on site from our New York office.
