Sponsorship Coordinator

About The Role

We've secured several exciting sponsorships, including AO Arena, Sale Sharks, and Manchester Thunder... As our Sponsorship Coordinator you'll be the main point of contact for all these partnerships! You'll be responsible for making sure that each sponsorship is activated to its fullest potential, while also ensuring that contractual rights are fully utilised and made available to both external customers and AOers.

Our people are our superpower, and we’re unstoppable when we’re together! We want your ideas to flow, and what better way to make that happen than being under the same roof, where our culture fuels creativity, collaboration and growth. If a £1 bet in the pub between two friends can become the UKs most trusted electrical retailer, imagine what else can be achieved when we we’re together!
