The Role

We are looking for a Media Services Engineer to maintain and optimise our club’s media infrastructure, ensuring the seamless delivery of matchday and non-matchday content and supporting our Media, Events, Operational and Editorial teams.

You will monitor and manage contribution and distribution feeds, helping to deliver high-quality content to supporters, third-parties and rights holders.
