The all new Global Sports Jobs: built around your career in sport

For 15 years, people have come to Global Sports Jobs to find opportunities across the sports industry. More than 350,000 people are registered with us, over 750,000 active job seekers engage with GSJ each year and more than 100,000 unique visitors come to the platform every month.

The old platform did a good job for a long time. But the way we all use digital products has moved on - and GSJ needed to move with it.

So we did not give the old site another redesign. We rebuilt it from the ground up.

A better way to find your next opportunity

The biggest changes are the ones you will notice straight away.

You can create a profile, sign in and pick up where you left off. Save searches. Track roles you are interested in. Follow organisations you want to hear from. Search and discovery are quicker and easier to use across the thousands of opportunities on GSJ.

You should not have to start from scratch every time you visit. The more we understand about what you are interested in, the more useful we can make your experience.

Built for careers in sport

There is another difference underneath the new experience: GSJ understands the industry it serves.

We have spent 15 years working across sport. We have taken that knowledge and built it into the way the platform organises opportunities - across sports, sectors, functions and career stages.

Why does that matter? Because careers are rarely as neat as a job title.

You might know the kind of work you want to do but not which organisations need those skills. You might work outside sport today and want to understand where your experience could fit. Or you might simply want to see opportunities you would never have thought to search for.

GSJ is designed to make more of those possibilities visible. 

There is more to a career in sport than you might think

Sport needs people in technology, commercial, marketing, finance, operations, data, people, legal, events and many other functions. Some careers start in sport. Plenty do not.

Our job is to help you see more of that landscape: the roles, the organisations and the different routes you could take through the industry.

More than 4,000 roles are live on Global Sports Jobs today. The new platform should make it much easier to get to the ones that are relevant to you.

We are not starting from zero

There is a reason we are excited about what comes next.

We have not built a platform and then gone looking for an audience. The audience is already here. So are 15 years of relationships and knowledge across international sport.

What has changed is the product underneath it.

For the first time, Global Sports owns and controls the GSJ technology, data and product experience end-to-end. That means we can pay attention to how people use it, listen to what you tell us and keep making it better.

We do not need to pretend we already know every feature or service you will want in three years. We would rather build the useful things as we learn.

The home of careers in sport

The ambition is simple: we want Global Sports Jobs to become the place you come to when you are serious about a career in sport.

That starts with helping you find a great next role. Over time, we want GSJ to be useful for more of the journey - discovering organisations, understanding the industry and seeing where your experience could take you next.

Whether you are trying to get your first break, considering a move into sport or already building your career here, we want to make GSJ worth coming back to. The new platform is live. Come and take a look.
