We are Two Circles. We are a Sports & Entertainment Marketing business. We grow audiences and revenues. We do that by knowing fans best. We work with clients to help them understand & influence what their fans are doing – the way fans spend their money, the events that fans attend, the channels fans respond to, the content fans watch and more. And we use the understanding this gives us to help our clients grow. Grow their audiences and grow their revenues - both direct to consumer and business to business revenues. Our platforms and services are trusted by over 1000 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon. We are over 1200 people, based out of 15 offices, and we deliver work for sports and entertainment businesses of all shapes and sizes all over the world.
We're hiring a People Strategy Lead for our People/HR team. We're looking for a strategic thinker who loves solving organisational problems, designing better ways of working and turning ideas into reality. You'll help shape how every Two Circler experiences life at Two Circles by designing and embedding the programmes, frameworks and experiences that underpin our People strategy and future growth.
Reporting to the People (HR) Director, you'll lead strategic projects and initiatives that shape how we attract, develop and retain great Two Circlers.
