  • Drive Brand Growth: Define, own, and execute a complete content roadmap to grow our brand. You will lead the build of a roadmap that not only inspires and educates coaches and athletes but directly drives conversion and sales.
  • Creative Campaign Development & Channel Strategy: Serve as the internal authority on the American Football audience, identifying the specific high-impact channels where coaches live. You will lead the development of creative, needle-moving campaigns and partner closely with our Demand and Channel teams to ensure our most impactful content is positioned to win across the North American market.
  • Foster Community-Driven Advocacy: Drive measurable growth through authentic, community-focused efforts. You will foster loyalty and encourage user-generated content, turning customers into active advocates for our technology.

  • Strategic Marketing Mastery: 5–8 years of experience in Marketing, Sales, or an adjacent commercial role with a proven track record of building brand trust and driving revenue.

  • Strategic Communicator & Stakeholder Lead: You have the unique ability to translate complex football insights and technical product features into authentic "coach-speak" that resonates with the football community. Beyond the marketing message, you are a master of internal alignment, you can navigate a matrixed organization, manage expectations across multiple high-level stakeholders, and unify diverse teams around a single, cohesive winning strategy.
  • B2B SaaS Experience: A background in software-as-a-service, including experience with modern go-to-market approaches and business drivers.

  • Ruthless Prioritization: The ability to juggle multiple projects at different stages, focusing on high-impact work while balancing long-term strategy with quick-turn execution.
