Founded in 1975, CAA represents many of the most successful professionals working in film, television, music, theatre, video games, sport, and digital content, and provides a range of strategic marketing and consulting services to corporate clients.

In CAA Brand Consulting we have 250+ specialists working with over 40 leading brands. Our vision is to be the strategic partner for brands in helping them solve their biggest challenges. Our services and connectivity in sport and entertainment allow us to identify, develop, activate and measure partnership strategies that build brands and grow business. In London our clients include the likes of OKX, Volvo, Salesforce, Qualcomm, Allianz and Etihad.

There is also a unique culture within CAA; for a global agency it has a small agency feel, with a great sense of teamwork, ambition, empowerment and entrepreneurialism.

Our London office is hiring a Senior Account Executive to join our award-winning team in London. We are seeking an ambitious, enthusiastic, reliable, hard working individual that is ready to kickstart their career in sport and entertainment marketing. Sponsorships and partnerships with properties, platforms and people, are great ways for brands to connect and engage with new, dynamic and diverse audiences. The successful candidate will have a natural curiosity and passion for how brands show up in popular culture.

This role sits within the Brand Consulting team – working across one of the department’s key accounts and the associated partners. The role plays a key part in executing the day-to-day activity across the Partnerships and Function teams, providing additional strategic, creative and/or activation support where required. The project work varies, from researching upcoming activations and events, to coordinating a content shoot, to creating memorable fan experiences. At times it’s more campaign focused, such as managing a client’s rights and assets throughout a football season. Due to the variety of briefs, this is a diverse and dynamic role requiring someone that can show versatility, adaptability, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. We’re looking for an individual that is organised, diligent and proactive, with excellent people skills and attention to detail. Never happy to stay still, everyone at CAA is encouraged to bring creativity, ingenuity and passion to a world of client servicing to help push themselves and the team to new ideas and places.
