Your mission

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.

01Your core responsibility

  • Own anzel's knowledge layer end to end and decide what anzel needs to learn next, and in which order across its knowledge subject areas

  • Own the master list of everything anzel can do: organized, accurate and trustworthy

  • Build a network of sports-commercial experts and turn their know-how into usable knowledge

  • Write clear skill briefs, define what "good" looks like and turn it into tests with our eval engineer

  • Direct three AI agents for expert interviews, use-case management and industry scanning
Your profile
  • Commercial experience at a league, federation or club in sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality, media or licensing

  • Hands-on understanding of sports-business processes across several commercial areas

  • A clear sense of what a commercial director would act on and what they would send back

  • AI-native: you use AI tools daily and can tell an answer from a deliverable

  • Choosy about sources and confident giving engineers direct feedback

  • No coding required
Why us?
  • Shape a brand-new product from scratch, with real input from day one

  • Real impact on a whole industry

  • Ownership, lean structure and barely any bureaucracy

  • Startup energy, backed by XU Group's experience and network
