“There's nothing quite like working at Sky Sports News.

One moment you're designing graphics for breaking news, the next you're seeing your work on national television just minutes later. It's fast, reactive and sometimes demanding, but incredibly rewarding. It's also one of the roles with the greatest creative freedom at Sky, giving you the opportunity to shape how the biggest stories in sport are told visually.

Football, Formula 1, golf, cricket, tennis and everything in between, if it's on Sky Sports News, you'll be part of creating it.”
