Here at MATTA, we believe that sports have the power to change people and communities for the better. We are passionate about making brands and campaigns matter to more people, more often by engaging fans with big, bold creative thinking and world-class execution.

• End-to-End Ownership: Take ownership of briefs from initial thought through to execution.
  

• Strategic Presentation: Build clear, persuasive presentations that bring ideas to life, from insight, to concept, to execution.
  

• Client Facing Excellence: Confidently articulate, sell and defend your work to clients and internally.
  

• Visual Direction: Shape the creative vision, including art direction, and create moodboards and storyboards for film and content.
  

• Collaboration: Work seamlessly with art directors, designers and the wider team to bring ideas to life.

What We’re Looking For:

Essential Experience:

• Outstanding Portfolio: A portfolio that shows strong conceptual thinking and copy craft.
  

• Strong Presentation Skills: Proven ability to sell creative work with clarity and confidence.
  

• Multichannel Expertise: Experience across social, digital, and earned, across both integrated campaigns and content.
  

• Sector Awareness: Strong awareness of sport, culture and entertainment, and how to turn that into ideas.
  

• Leadership & Collaboration: A collaborative mindset, with the ability to lead, challenge and inspire others.
  

• Creative Integrity: High standards, strong opinions, and the judgement to know when to push.
  

Desired But Not Required:

• Sport Sector Experience: Hands-on experience working within the sports sector or with sports brands.

What We Offer:

• 23 days annual leave + extra 3 days off at Christmas.
  

• MATTA Sports Day: an extra day off every year for the purpose of either watching or playing sport.
