Role
Who you are
- You have 5 or more years of experience in digital advertising, ideally within a publisher, media company, advertising technology platform, or advertising-supported consumer business
- You have hands-on experience with Google Ad Manager and understand direct media, programmatic advertising, inventory management, campaign delivery, and reporting
- You have helped build or scale advertising programs, operating processes, or revenue-generating initiatives rather than only managing established work
- You are highly proficient in Excel and have used campaign and business data to diagnose problems, track performance, and recommend action
- You have led complex projects across commercial, product, technology, and analytics teams from an underdefined starting point through execution and measurable results
- You are a hands-on generalist who is comfortable moving between advertising operations, project management, product go-to-market, and business-building work
What the job involves
- GameChanger is looking for an Advertising Manager to help build and scale the next stage of our advertising business
- You’ll bring advertiser programs to life, support how we position new opportunities in the market, and create the operating structure needed to deliver them successfully
- You’ll work across Sales, Product, Engineering, Analytics, Marketing, Revenue Operations, and DICK’S Media Network, connecting commercial ideas with the teams responsible for executing them
- You will report to the Director of Advertising
- Own the development and execution of advertising programs, sponsorships, strategic initiatives, and custom advertiser opportunities across our three revenue pillars: direct media, sponsorships and partnerships, and programmatic advertising
- Build the operating structure needed to scale sponsorship and partnership programs across GameChanger’s sports, products, and audiences, turning commercial opportunities into clear plans, owners, timelines, and deliverables
- Develop advertising packages, sales narratives, pitch materials, presentations, and case studies in partnership with the Director of Advertising, Sales, and DICK’S Media Network
- Lead cross-functional coordination across Product, Engineering, Analytics, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to bring new advertising products and monetization opportunities to market
- Manage core advertising operations through Google Ad Manager and related tools, including inventory planning, campaign workflows, pacing, optimization, performance reporting, and other business deliverables
- Use campaign and business data to evaluate performance, improve how the advertising business operates, and identify new opportunities for measurable revenue growth
Our take
The competitive nature of sports has always been driven by scorekeeping, and nowadays results are often consumed online. However, for smaller teams it can be difficult to provide this information digitally, as they do not have dedicated web development staff.
GameChanger provides a scorekeeping and statistics platform for sports teams to engage with their fans, that allows viewers to track the progress of a game in real-time similar to with professional sports. The company also embeds a live-streaming service into the platform to facilitate remote viewing, helping to increase audience engagement.
Whilst some sports teams already stream events on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube, most do not have the technical resources to achieve this. GameChanger has recognised this gap in the market, providing a simple yet unified platform for sports scoreboards and streaming, providing a fair opportunity for any team to maximise their community engagement.
