Sport Industry Jobs – a new service from Sport Industry Group – has been announced, supporting the sector at a time when it is shifting away from traditional working practices and embracing new, more flexible, and creative ways of working.
For many years Sport Industry Group has helped connect the best industry talent and businesses, and over the last six months the demand for this service has increased dramatically. As this continues to rise, Sport Industry Jobs provides a marketplace for talented freelancers to find work, and for organisations to find talented freelancers.
Officially being unveiled today, Sport Industry Jobs provides a one-stop platform, and with Sport Industry Group’s extensive network across the sector, it already has an impressive and expanding database of freelancers and consultants, and is working on a number of live briefs.
Freelancers are able to build straight-forward but detailed profiles of themselves, their experiences and their expertise, while organisations from across sport can create briefs for short-term, long-term or ongoing work.
The Sport Industry Jobs platform will then pair the two using extensive first-hand experience of the individuals and businesses within the sport sector, manage invoicing and contracts, and support with additional guidance and resources.
By pairing freelancers with organisations on a single, simple platform, Sport Industry Jobs is providing a much-needed service as the industry itself shifts towards more flexible ways of working in the wake of COVID-19.

Alex Coulson, Sport Industry Group Managing Director, said:
“Over the last few years the industry has seen a huge increase in the number of freelance roles and fixed term contracts available – giving talented consultants the benefit of flexible hours and a portfolio career to suit their own needs, while allowing organisations the chance to work with the very best people for specific roles at the right time.
“COVID-19 has accelerated this trend even further and there is now both a greater supply of and a greater demand for the best talent the sport industry has to offer. With Sport Industry Jobs, we’re simply bringing these two together and creating the opportunity for the industry’s best work to be done.
“At Sport Industry Group, we’re committed to supporting this world-class industry in any way that we can, and that role has never been more important than it is now. We’ve been helping connect people and businesses for years and after listening to an ever-increasing demand for this service, Sport Industry Jobs allows us to support in a greater way.
“So, welcome to Sport Industry Jobs; please make the most of the platform, tell the freelancers you work with, add briefs, and together we can create new opportunities across the sector.”
