Senior Project Manager - Enforcement (Maternity Cover)

The Premier League’s Legal Department is looking for an exceptional and experienced project manager to join its in-house Enforcement team on a four-month fixed term maternity cover. The Senior Project Manager - Enforcement will work with colleagues in the Enforcement Team across London, Singapore and Beijing to deliver and coordinate events, action plans and strategic projects. 

The Enforcement team’s core function is protecting and enforcing the Premier League’s global intellectual property rights, particularly in the exclusive audio-visual rights licensed to broadcasters around the world. This includes pursuing civil and criminal litigation against those involved in infringing the Premier League’s intellectual property, policy initiatives to ensure that adequate legislation and tools are available to enable such litigation and educational campaigns to raise awareness of the risks and harms associated with intellectual property theft. 

The Enforcement team also manages the Premier League’s trade mark portfolio and central anti-counterfeiting programme, as well as advising the business on various IP-related issues that arise from time to time. 

In addition, the Enforcement team works to combat discriminatory and threatening online abuse aimed at Premier League players, managers and others within the game. This includes legal actions against those identified as responsible for such abuse.
