This is achieved via multiple platforms including team ownership, radio, print, television, digital, in-stadium and events. SEN is a dynamic sport led business on an exciting growth journey and we’re looking for match fit talent to join our passionate team of sales professionals.

About the role and you:

We’re looking for a curious, tech-minded person who’s excited about AI and wants to turn that interest into a real career.

This is a rare opportunity to work directly with leadership across a national sports media network, learning how AI and automation can improve how a business runs — from content workflows to operations and production.

If you enjoy experimenting with tools like Claude, Copilot or automation platforms and are always looking for smarter ways to do things, we’d love to hear from you. No formal experience required.

In this role, you’ll work closely with teams across the business to identify inefficiencies and explore how AI and automation can improve everyday processes.

This is an ideal pathway into careers in AI, operations, or digital transformation.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Work with different teams to understand how their daily workflows operate
  • Spot repetitive tasks and areas where time could be saved
  • Test and apply AI tools to improve processes (e.g. content workflows, reporting, admin tasks)
  • Assist in building simple automations that reduce manual work
  • Research emerging AI tools and share insights with the team
  • Help document improvements and track the impact of changes

What We’re Looking For:

  • A genuine interest in AI, automation, or new technology
  • You enjoy experimenting with tools and figuring things out yourself
  • Some hands-on experience with automation tools or AI Platforms (eg Claude, Co-Pilot), even in a personal or study context
  • Strong curiosity and problem-solving mindset
  • Comfortable learning new platforms independently
  • Clear communication skills at all levels including senior management — able to explain ideas simply
  • Organised and able to manage small projects

You do NOT need:

  • A computer science degree
  • Formal engineering experience
  • Coding expertise (basic exposure is a bonus, not required)

Why Join Us:

  • Work in the sports and entertainment industry
  • Start your career in one of the fastest-growing areas of tech
  • Work directly with senior leadership and decision-makers
  • Gain real, practical experience applying AI in a business setting
  • Be part of a fast-moving sports media environment
  • Learn on the job with real ownership and impact

To be considered for this exciting opportunity, apply with your resume and a video about what AI tools you’ve been using and what you’ve built or tested.
