And we use the understanding this gives us to help our clients grow. Grow their audiences and grow their revenues - both direct to consumer and business to business revenues. Our platforms and services are trusted by over 1000 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon.

The ideal background and skills we are looking for include: 

• Strong, proven experience working in technical support or data platform environments, ideally supporting production systems and external clients

• Comfortable operating in environments where not all processes are fully defined, and able to introduce structure, improve processes, and raise the bar for how the team operates 

• You enjoy getting stuck into complex problems, exploring systems, data, and integrations to build deep understanding, rather than relying on step-by-step guidance 

• Experience working cross-functionally with Engineering, Product, and client-facing teams, influencing outcomes beyond your immediate responsibilities 

• Ability to produce high-quality documentation, contribute to knowledge sharing, and actively raise the capability of the wider team
