Sport operations & event management
Leicester, UK
I'm on the field when the whistle goes — timing finals, marshaling routes, and running the logistics that keep a hundred people moving safely.
Sport operations found me on a race route in Leicester, waving marathon runners past a roundabout at seven in the morning — and I've been chasing that same adrenaline ever since.
Between an MSc in Sport Management, a placement consulting on a club's growth strategy, and enough matchdays to know exactly how a hundred-person crowd moves, I've built the kind of operational instinct that doesn't come from a textbook.
I'm looking for a Sport Operations or Event Management role where that instinct — and the spreadsheets behind it — actually gets put to work.
No two events run the same, but three things hold true wherever I'm working — whether that's a national hockey final or a taekwondo scorecard table.
I've stood pitch-side at hockey finals and internationals with my radio in hand, and there's nothing quite like knowing exactly where you need to be the second the pressure hits.
There's a particular kind of satisfaction in watching a hundred-plus crowd flow through a car park without a single bottleneck — that's usually the moment I know the day's going well.
Whether I was chatting with fans at Leicestershire CCC or coaching someone through a session at FITZONE, I've always cared more about remembering their name than ticking a box.
Three moments that show the range — from marshalling a national final to rebuilding a club's growth strategy from the ground up.
Trusted with field-of-play operations at national and international finals.
Coordinated parking and logistics for events with more than 100 attendees, ensuring smooth operations and spectator flow across multiple UK cities.
Turned market research into a growth strategy the club could actually run.
Analysed the Leicestershire Tennis and Squash Club's internal and external environment to evaluate pickleball's growth potential, then recommended a low-cost digital marketing and session-delivery strategy.
Precision timing, zero room for error.
Acted as stopwatch timekeeper for the National Championships in Nottingham, ensuring accurate timing and smooth event flow throughout the competition.
The complete team sheet — every role I've taken on, from pitch-side marshal to matchday operations to the admin that keeps it all running on time.
