Tactical is looking for a social media executive to join our awesome Sports team. This is an opportunity to build on an existing team that’s been delivering best in class social experiences for sporting events and partners across the world.

The Opportunity

Sport fans demand a sophisticated experience on social and mobile. They’re connected with their teams, players and idols through interactions that bring them closer to the game, now more than ever before. 

Whether it’s the build-up, in-action live commentary and opinion, or post-match highs and lows, the nature of sports is more expressive, real-time and demanding than ever before. This is where our social, content and media teams have been doing their best work.

Our goal is to deliver social, content and media services to the biggest sporting events around the globe. We’re looking for a social media manager to join the Sports pod and support us in smashing that goal.
