ABOUT VIDA DEL PADEL (VDP)
Vida Del Padel is one of the UK's fastest-growing padel lifestyle brands, built around community, culture and connection. More than just a place to play, VDP creates social, design-led environments inspired by the energy and spirit of Spain, where sport meets lifestyle and people come to connect on and off the court.
With rapid national expansion underway, we are building a brand that lives as much online as it does in our venues, and we're looking for someone to lead that.

You'll help shape the look and feel of the brand, working closely with our in-house videographer and team to turn everyday moments – matches, events, people, atmosphere – into content that captures the VDP lifestyle.
This is a role for someone who doesn't just plan content, but creates it, tests it, and grows it.
