About the role

At LALIGA we are looking to bring on board a Corporate Communications Manager with extensive experience in corporate communications, strategic vision, and a deep understanding of the media and reputational landscape.

This will be a position with a high level of autonomy and exposure, responsible for turning LALIGA's activity, projects, and decisions into relevant stories, solid messages, and positioning opportunities for media outlets, institutions, partners, and other stakeholders.

We are looking for a senior professional who combines corporate judgment with execution capability; someone able to anticipate, handle sensitive scenarios with confidence, and build trusting relationships both inside and outside the organization.

A particularly attractive role for professionals who want to apply their communications experience to an industry with enormous visibility, where sport, entertainment, technology, business, and media constantly converge.

What you'll do

You will actively participate in the development and execution of LALIGA's corporate communications strategy, identifying those projects, data points, decisions, and conversations with the greatest reputational and media potential.

Your ability to understand the business and turn its complexity into clear messages will be key to building relevant corporate narratives, strengthening LALIGA's positioning, and ensuring consistent communications across markets, channels, and spokespersons.

You will have the autonomy to lead topics and projects from start to finish, combining a strategic outlook with agile, rigorous execution.

You will build and strengthen trusting relationships with journalists, editors, and opinion leaders across sports, business, general, institutional, and specialized media.

You will work proactively to identify positioning opportunities for LALIGA and its main spokespersons, driving interviews, press briefings, feature stories, opinion pieces, and other formats that convey our vision and activity to the right audiences.

You will also coordinate responses to media inquiries, connecting with different internal areas to provide accurate and consistent information in contexts that will sometimes require particular agility and judgment.

You will turn complex information into executive, rigorous, and relevant content for each audience.

You will develop and oversee press releases, talking points, position statements, key messages, Q&As, speeches, opinion pieces, briefings, and corporate documentation, as well as materials for LALIGA's management team and spokespersons.

You will collaborate with internal teams, agencies, and external providers to ensure every piece maintains the necessary quality, accuracy, and consistency.

A fundamental part of your contribution will be the ability to anticipate.

You will analyze the media and reputational landscape to identify potential risks, assess scenarios, and help define the most appropriate response to sensitive issues.

You will participate in preparing protocols, messages, and contingency plans and, when necessary, contribute to coordinating communications in high-exposure or crisis situations.

Here we are looking for a particularly important combination: composure under pressure, strategic judgment, the ability to react, and excellent interpersonal skills to find solutions even in changing or unpredictable scenarios.

You will design communications plans for corporate projects and announcements, defining objectives, audiences, messages, channels, actions, and KPIs to evaluate their impact.

You will track results and coverage to identify lessons learned and opportunities for improvement, using monitoring tools, data analysis, and, progressively, intelligent solutions and applied AI to work with greater agility, detect relevant signals, and improve decision-making.

What we're looking for

We are looking for a senior profile with more than 10 years of experience in corporate communications, gained in companies, communications agencies, institutions, business associations, or organizations with a high level of public exposure.

To succeed in this role, it will be important to bring:

  • Solid experience managing media relations and a strong ability to build trusting professional relationships with journalists.
  • A track record of developing corporate communications strategies, plans, and materials.
  • Experience managing reputation, sensitive issues, and crisis communications scenarios.
  • Excellent writing skills in Spanish and the ability to synthesize complex issues and turn them into clear, compelling messages.
  • A high level of English, both written and spoken, to operate confidently in an international context.
  • Experience working with executive teams, senior profiles, and high-level spokespersons.
  • The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously, maintaining judgment and quality even under demanding deadlines or unexpected situations.
  • A high level of autonomy: you will have support and coordination with the team, but also direct responsibility for projects that you will need to drive and resolve from start to finish.
  • Proficiency in presentation, monitoring, tracking, and media analysis tools.

Beyond technical experience, we are looking for someone with strategic vision, business orientation, and excellent reputational judgment, capable of understanding when to communicate, how to do it, and what implications each decision may have.

And there is something equally important: the way you work. We want to bring on board someone who is approachable, collaborative, and generous with the team; someone with the ability to relate to very different profiles, manage sensitivities, and build consensus. Someone with tact, people skills, discretion, and a team mindset, combining autonomy with collaboration.

Nice to have

We will be especially interested if you have close knowledge of the sports ecosystem and, in particular, football: media, clubs, competitions, federations, broadcasters, sponsors, or companies linked to this industry.

We will also value:

  • Experience in sports companies or brands with a strong connection to sport through sponsorships and other communications assets.
  • Knowledge of the audiovisual business, the media ecosystem, sports rights, and their protection.
  • Experience coordinating international communications or working across different markets.
  • Knowledge of public affairs, institutional positioning, or financial and corporate communications.
  • Experience communicating technology projects and engaging with specialized media.
  • Familiarity with Artificial Intelligence tools, social listening, automation, data analysis, and communications measurement, especially if you already use them to gain efficiency, enrich analysis, or improve decision-making.

About the company & team

Working at LALIGA means being part of an organization with global impact on the professional football industry, where every project can have repercussions for the media, fans, institutions, clubs, partners, and other key players in the ecosystem.

Communications plays an essential role in how we explain our activity, protect our reputation, and convey the evolution of our business to the outside world. That is why we are looking for professionals capable of bringing judgment, foresight, and new perspectives.

In addition, we are evolving the way we work by increasingly incorporating data, automation, and Artificial Intelligence tools to analyze information, detect trends, streamline processes, and dedicate more time to strategic thinking and higher-impact decisions.

We want those who join LALIGA to continue developing capabilities that will be relevant to the future of work: experimenting with new tools, learning continuously, and finding smarter, more efficient ways of working, while always keeping professional and human judgment as a differentiating element.

Here you will have the opportunity to take part in projects with real impact, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, and continue growing in an organization that operates at the intersection of football, entertainment, media, technology, and business.

Additional information

If you are looking for a role where your experience and judgment carry weight, where you can take on real responsibility and help manage the communications and reputation of a leading organization in professional football, we want to meet you.

At LALIGA you will find a space to contribute what you already know, but also to keep evolving: working with diverse teams, incorporating new tools and capabilities — including AI applied to daily work — and taking part in projects with visibility and impact both in Spain and internationally.

We are looking for talent, judgment, and good people to build a team with. If you see yourself in this challenge and believe you can bring a different perspective, we encourage you to apply.

Because the future of LALIGA is also built with the people who make it possible to tell, protect, and project everything that happens beyond the pitch.
