The Company
Prospect is on a mission to revolutionise decision-making in sport. Our proprietary datasets and AI models provide a richer, more predictive view of fan behaviour and demand, which our clients leverage to drive more value from marketing and promotional activity. Prospect works with leading teams, broadcasters, bookmakers and leagues across sport to deliver efficient audience growth across ticket sales, subscriptions and database registrations.
The Role
Prospect is seeking a high-calibre Commercial & Strategy Associate to drive growth across two core areas:
* Execution of paid media campaigns for Prospect clients, and
* Chief of Staff–style support to the CEO, including strategy, analysis and high-quality materials for boards, partners and senior stakeholders.
This role is designed for an ambitious, highly capable graduate or early-career hire who wants broad exposure to how a fast-growing sports analytics business operates at senior level. Marketing experience is not essential — we value intelligence, judgement and execution ability over narrow functional experience.
Paid media execution at Prospect is intentionally systematised and repeatable. The real challenge (and opportunity) in this role is learning quickly, executing accurately, and contributing to strategic thinking across the business.
What You’ll Do:
1. Paid Media Execution (c. 40–50%)
You will be responsible for the hands-on execution and optimisation of paid media campaigns across Prospect’s client base. This is a keyboard-in-hand execution role, but one where attention to detail, logic and learning speed matter more than prior platform expertise. Responsibilities include:
* Building, launching and managing campaigns across Google, Meta and TikTok
* Managing audiences, budgets, phasing and creative rotation
* Producing clear weekly performance updates and structured monthly reviews
* Maintaining a disciplined library of creative assets and campaign structures
* Proactively flagging issues and recommending data-backed adjustments
2. CEO & Strategy Support (c. 50–60%)
You will work closely with the CEO as a generalist operator and thought partner, supporting a wide
range of strategic and commercial priorities. Responsibilities include:
* Preparing board decks, investor updates and strategic presentations
* Supporting the development of commercial proposals, partnership pitches and market research
* Owning ad hoc analytical and operational projects across the business
* Acting as a reliable follow-through engine on high-priority initiatives
Tools & Platforms You Will Use:
* Google, Meta and TikTok Ads Managers
* Microsoft Excel (analysis, modelling, reporting) and PowerPoint (board- and investor-level output)
Your Personal Attributes
* Highly capable operator: structured thinker who executes accurately and reliably
* Strong communicator: able to turn complexity into clear slides and narratives
* Detail-oriented: obsessive about quality, logic and presentation standards
* Proactive: spots problems and opportunities without being asked
* Comfortable with responsibility: trusted with sensitive information and senior stakeholders
* Growth-minded: eager to learn fast, seek feedback and expand scope
Your Experience
We are deliberately open-minded on background. Strong candidates may come from:
* Graduate roles or internships in consulting, strategy, analytics, finance, operations or startups
* Sport, media or technology-focused roles with a strong analytical component
* Paid media or marketing roles (helpful, but not required)
What matters most is evidence of:
* Strong analytical capability and structured problem-solving
* Strong written and visual communication
* Ownership mentality and sound judgement
* Marketing or paid media experience is not essential — platform execution can be learned quickly.
Measures of Success
* Paid campaigns are executed smoothly, accurately and improve over time
* CEO time is saved through high-quality preparation and follow-through
* Board and senior stakeholders are consistently impressed by clarity and quality of materials
* The Associate becomes increasingly trusted with broader commercial responsibility
