DAZN • New York, NY

15h • Onsite

About The Position

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.

Requirements

• Proven experience leading social teams within sports or media environments
• Strong multi-sport editorial knowledge, including boxing, football, NFL, and other major sports

• Confidence creating end-to-end social content alongside your team
• Strong strategic thinking paired with hands-on execution
• Deep understanding of social programming, live coverage, and platform dynamics
• Calm, decisive leadership in fast-paced, live sports environments

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the internal multisport Social Content Creator team aligned to DAZN’s key company priorities

• Own the programming strategy for the multisport team, ensuring creators are scheduled effectively across key events, fights, and matchdays
• Program the @DAZN handle to amplify major moments and stories across DAZN’s rights portfolio
• Ensure the team can flex across sports depending on the calendar, priorities, and live moments
• Act as an editorial decision-maker during live events, ensuring fast, accurate, and platform-native publishing
• Create content yourself — filming, editing, posting, and clipping live feeds
• Work closely with sport-specific social leads, Editorial, Creative, Marketing, and Production teams
• Use performance insights to optimise coverage plans, internal creator deployment, and content mix

Benefits

• Benefits include access to DAZN, up to 15 days of paid time off and 9 days of annual leave, health benefits (including dental & eye care) and a generous sick time package as well as short and long-term disability covering, parental leave offering, personal insurances, such as basic life term and personal accident and access to a 401(k) retirement plan.
