About the job
As our Championship Manager, you’ll be self-starting, tenacious, and hyper-organized.
In this key role, you’ll be the first point of contact for our hosts and competitors, and an enthusiastic and informed liaison for our sponsors. You’ll work closely with both the CEO and Creative Director on strategy, taking an active role in setting the direction of our company. You’ll then demonstrate resourcefulness and tenacity in bringing those plans into reality.
Working in a distributed team, you’ll balance the confidence to drive initiatives forward against the good sense to reach out for help when you need it. You’ll have a systematic approach and will prioritise tasks efficiently. You’ll switch gears when required, and will adapt as the course changes.
You’ll communicate clearly and intentionally with stakeholders from all across the world, as well as with your colleagues. You’ll love getting details right, and will be enthusiastic about utilising tech solutions effectively.
