About the role

As our Partnerships & Field Activation Lead, you will be the strategic owner and primary engine behind one of our most high-profile and complex sports partnerships in the US. This role is critical to our expansion because you will transform a large-scale contractual agreement into a world-class brand experience. Your goal is to navigate a highly demanding partner environment to ensure 100% value extraction, protecting our investment while delivering seamless, premium activations that drive fan engagement and business growth.

You'll be responsible for

• Lead one of our most prominent sports partnerships — steering the relationship with strategic vision and the people skills to keep momentum in a fast-moving environment.
• Dig into contractual entitlements to ensure every right is activated, proactively surfacing make-goods and negotiating new opportunities beyond the original agreement.
• Direct third-party agencies on the execution of fan zones, hospitality, and stadium build-outs — setting a premium bar and empowering teams to meet it.
• Orchestrate the run-of-show on event days, ensuring flawless brand integration across every physical and digital touchpoint.
• Serve as the bridge between our external partner and internal teams — Legal, Brand, Compliance — turning activations into smooth, well-aligned executions.
• Define and track KPIs across every activation and translate them into sharp strategic reports for senior leadership.

We are looking for a person who has

• 8+ years in brand partnerships or sponsorships, ideally in major sports leagues or large-scale entertainment, with a solid track record managing contractual rights.
• The ability to build trust, align diverse teams, and deliver results in fast-moving environments.
• Equally comfortable shaping long-term roadmaps and being boots-on-the-ground during live events.
• Experience selecting and managing creative and production agencies, keeping work on brief, on time, and on budget.
• The instinct to orchestrate content shoots, VIP hospitality, stadium signage, and logistics simultaneously with attention to detail.
• A strong grasp of the South Florida event production ecosystem and a love for being where the action is (a big plus).
