Senior Sports Practitioner (f/m/d)

Join anzel - The AI for the business of sport.

It turns the commercial knowledge locked in spreadsheets and expert heads into finished work for sports clubs, leagues and federations: fit assessments, pitch narratives, sponsor ROI reports or pricing analysis, produced by AI skills built on a structured, expert-validated knowledge layer. Think of anzel as the senior colleague on your team: the one who has done this before, knows how it turned out, and goes back to check the result. 

For this senior sports domain expert role, we are looking for someone who knows sports business inside out and understands what it takes to succeed in sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality, media or licensing.
