Broadcast Relations & Analytics Manager

About the Role You’ll be the link between NZR and our domestic and international broadcast partners, leading partner reviews and planning sessions to keep our priorities front and centre. From there, you’ll manage deliverables against contractual commitments and look for new ways to grow reach. Using audience data and market benchmarking, you’ll shape reporting for rights negotiations, executive and board reporting, and the broader team's sponsorship and fan engagement work. You’ll build and maintain the analytics framework and dashboards that track audience size, engagement and viewing behaviour across platforms, dig into viewing patterns and retention trends to uncover what‑driving tune‑in, and work with partners and production teams to keep improving the on‑screen product for rugby audiences here and abroad. About You You bring at least five years’ experience in broadcast, media, sports or entertainment analytics, with a track record managing commercial partnerships and turning complex data into clear, actionable insight. You’re comfortable across Excel or Google Sheets, dashboarding tools, and ideally have some exposure to SQL and broadcast measurement platforms such as Nielsen or OzTAM. You know how to tell a story with data, not just present it, and you’re just as confident briefing an exec team as you are managing a broadcast partner relationship. A genuine interest in rugby and the part broadcast plays in growing the game will help you thrive here – you’ll be shaping how fans across Aotearoa and beyond experience the sport. About Us At NZR we love what we do, we work hard and have fun! You’ll be joining a team of awesome people who are passionate about the game and each other, and you’ll be backed with support to thrive in your role. We know that life isn’t all about work, so we are open to flexible working options. We value diversity and inclusion and are committed to improving our cultural responsiveness. We embrace and respect each other’s values and we are so proud to be Rainbow Tick certified. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and walks of life.
