Workplace Technology Engineer

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 1000 people, based out of 15 offices, and we deliver work for sports and entertainment businesses of all shapes and sizes all over the world.

Role  
As a Workplace Technology Engineer at Two Circles, you will look after the tools and technologies our two circlers use remotely and, in our offices, to successfully rewire sports. We run a mixture of Windows and Mac devices and leverage a variety of SAAS applications across our 15 locations. Those sites have minimal on-prem infrastructure other than collaboration tech and 3rd party commodity networking to assist hybrid working.  

We are looking for someone who is ambitious, curious and absolutely not comfortable with good enough or status quo. Someone who hates the expression ‘we’ve always done it that way’.  We want some who can respectfully challenge, collaborate and grow with us.

This role provides ample opportunities to influence the direction of Two Circles Technology Operations strategy, own the delivery of a wide range of work, and further develop your own knowledge of technologies, systems, approaches and practices.
