Description Why Join DAZN? Demand for sports has never been higher, however with fragmented media ecosystems and soaring costs - teams, leagues, and fans - are forced to reconsider their options. DAZN wants to provide a differentiated, digital first alternative that will modernize the regional sports network model for the '26 - '27 basketball and hockey season.
As a Senior Marketing Manager based in New York, you'll be at the center of that growth, owning how we connect with fans and driving high-impact advertising across digital and offline platforms to build a brand that resonates and connect with fans. You'll have the creative freedom to shape campaigns, the strategic influence to define how we go to market, and the commercial accountability that makes this role genuinely impactful.

From campaign planning to performance optimisation, you'll be equally comfortable in a creative brief and a data dashboard.
This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role for someone who wants real ownership - not just a seat at the table. A hands-on leader, you'll also manage direct reports, helping them grow while ensuring seamless campaign execution from strategic brief to asset delivery.
Salary Range: $120,000 - $140,000. This is hybrid role which will be based mostly on site from our New York office.
What You'll Be Doing: - Own campaign delivery - Drive end-to-end execution of major campaigns in market, from brief through to post-campaign analysis
- Scale regionally - Ensure central creative and media planning is adapted to account for local markets, ensuring cultural relevance and nuance without losing brand integrity
- Represent DAZN locally - Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders in local markets, including teams, league, and media partners

- Optimise relentlessly - Use performance data to continuously improve channel efficiency, audience targeting, and ROI across paid, owned, and earned media
- Collaborate cross-functionally - Work closely with creative, insights, product, and commercial teams globally to sharpen messaging, placement, and timing
- Establish best practice - Develop a proven, repeatable go-to-market playbook that sets the standard for how DAZN launches new regional US sports rights
What You'll Bring: - 5+ years of experience in integrated growth marketing, ideally within sports, media, entertainment, or subscription-based businesses
- Proven track record managing budgets and holistic integrated marketing programs
- Deep understanding of multi-channel marketing strategy, including paid media, CRM, SEO/SEM, and social platforms

- Experience driving measurable results across acquisition, engagement, and lifecycle marketing
- Background in a fast-paced, subscription-led, content, or entertainment business
- Excellent cross-functional communication and stakeholder management skills, including direct reports and external agency partners
