BBC Careers

Ben Gallop

This role is about bringing the audience one step closer to the action.

BBC Sport encompasses a comprehensive website, live web streaming, IPTV, Red Button and mobile services. Heading up this operation requires someone with a hefty amount of experience in journalism and the ability to lead and inspire a group of journalists and producers to produce the best multiplatform content on offer – not to mention the ability to also manage budgets and develop future strategies.

Those working in this area of the BBC are creative, hard-working sports fanatics. In this role the question constantly being asked is: How can we take advantage of new technology to enhance the audience’s experience of watching live sport?
