Your Role
We’re hiring a Market Director to grow our sports facilities business and oversee its daily operations. In this role, you’ll define and execute a strategic roadmap to achieve goals across our Youth, Club & High School business unit. You’ll unlock value by expanding our facility camera coverage, creating content that powers Hudl’s fan and talent products globally.
As a Market Director, you’ll:
- Drive strategy and execution. You’ll develop a strategic roadmap for third-party-owned, club-owned and school-owned venues. You’ll rank facility targets based on game density, talent density and revenue potential to ensure we see the promised value of our investments.
- Boost revenue and profitability. You’ll manage the P&L for the facilities market segment to meet our financial goals. This means creating smart pricing strategies, setting sales targets and building revenue forecasts across streaming, ticketing, event payments and team subscriptions.
- Construct the pitch. Shape the offer, pricing, packaging, and value story for each type of facility—and turn it into a repeatable motion the broader sales org can run.
- Expand the market and engage customers. You’ll grow relationships with facility owners, operators, leagues and governing bodies. You’ll lead negotiations to secure exclusive streaming rights, ticketing agreements and camera installation contracts while building a repeatable pitch for our sales team.
- Make it real. Own implementation end to end so signed plans get delivered and facilities realize the value we promised—not just the strategy on paper.
- Lead and develop teams. You’ll mentor and train Hudlies, helping onboard and develop individuals across the broader team. You’ll also work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, Sales and Finance teams to align everyone around our facilities roadmap.
Time spent collaborating with other teammates in-office will be an integral part of your work. This role is open to candidates based in Lincoln or Omaha, NE and requires 3 days in the Lincoln office per week.
