As part of the global marketing team, you’ll scan the market for new opportunities - B2B2C deals, local brand tie‑ins, community programs, niche events, or sponsorships - helping our teams evaluate which ones will truly move the needle. You’ll also act as our US market voice, regularly sharing insights on competition, consumer behavior, and emerging trends that inform strategy.

• Offer local perspective and feedback to ensure campaigns and messaging resonate with US audiences

• Collaborate cross-functionally with product, performance and creative teams to help prioritize and activate opportunities efficiently.

Core Requirements:
• Mid-level marketing or business development experience, ideally focused on partnerships, market research or strategic growth

• Proven success developing and validating high-ROI partnership ideas or marketing initiatives

• Strong analytical thinker - comfortable modeling performance projections and interpreting market data

• Entrepreneurial and curious, always scanning for new trends, emerging categories and unconventional growth possibilities

• Excellent communicator who can clearly convey insights and ideas across global teams

• Confident presenter with a knack for turning data into compelling business cases

• Familiarity with sectors like Sports, Travel, Fintech or Telco is beneficial but not required

• Based on the US East Coast for smooth collaboration with international colleagues.

Why Join Us:
• Help shape partnership strategy and unlock growth in one of our most important markets

• Work remotely, with flexible hours and periodic travel when needed

• Join a global team that values initiative, creativity and data-driven decision making.
