Qualifications: • Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing, Media, Communications, or a related field preferred, or equivalent relevant professional experience. • 7+ years of relevant experience across commercial or growth marketing, content or editorial programming, live commerce, marketplace businesses, media and entertainment, or related fields, including meaningful experience leading teams or complex multidisciplinary programs. • Demonstrated success developing and implementing programming, commercial, content, or growth strategies tied to measurable business and customer outcomes. • Experience managing and developing professional employees, building effective team operating models, and allocating resources across a complex portfolio of priorities. • Deep understanding of live selling ecosystems and the relationship between content quality, seller behavior, audience engagement, product experience, and commercial performance. • Demonstrated ability to translate broad business objectives into clear strategies, priorities, operating plans, processes, and measurable programs. • Strong commercial judgment, analytical capabilities, and experience defining KPIs, evaluating portfolio performance, and using data to make prioritization, investment, and resource-allocation decisions. • Proven ability to lead complex cross-functional initiatives and influence senior stakeholders across teams with different objectives, priorities, and dependencies. • Strong executive communication, stakeholder management, and leadership skills, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment. • Experience working with creators, livestreamers, athletes, teams, leagues, or on-camera talent is strongly preferred; deep knowledge of the collecting, breaking, sports, and entertainment ecosystems is a significant advantage.
