ABOUT THE ROLE
Working as part of the Gravity Media Dublin Production team, this role is responsible for the operational, financial, and contractual management of global esports event staffing and resource deployment. The position will travel internationally to support event delivery, acting as the senior on-site Gravity Media representative and key liaison between Gravity Media, freelancers, suppliers, and client stakeholders.

The role requires strong commercial awareness, attention to detail, budgeting experience, contractor management skills, and the ability to operate confidently in a client-facing environment. Flexible working hours, including evenings, weekends, and international travel, will be required to support global events.
