Social Manager

DAZN is the global home of sport, delivering premium live and on-demand coverage across boxing, football, NFL, and a wide range of additional rights. 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. 

The Role: Social Manager - DAZN 

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 boxing, football, NFL, and other major rights. 

Sitting within the Social team and reporting into the VP of Social & Content, this role focuses on strategy, programming, and people management across multiple social handles. You will ensure the internal multisport creator team is flexible and effectively deployed to support sport-specific priority handles (e.g. Boxing, Football, NFL), 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. 

This role will be based primarily in our New York office, working shifts across Monday - Sunday.
