Company mission
Veo Technologies APS' mission is to make sports technology accessible to all by providing affordable live-streaming camera technology and viewing platforms for all types of sports teams.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years in partnerships or business development, with 2-3 years managing a team. Sports, sports-tech, or SaaS background preferred
- Real relationships in US soccer. You understand how national governing bodies and federations make decisions, and you know people inside them
- A track record of both closing deals and managing long-term partner relationships - not just one or the other
- Experience activating partnerships in the field - you know how to turn a signed contract into something that actually builds a brand and drives adoption at the grassroots level
- Someone who uses AI as a genuine work tool. Not a buzzword - we mean it. You prep better, write faster, and find insights quicker because of it
- Comfortable running a distributed team with a fair degree of autonomy. You won't need constant direction, and you'll know when to escalate
- At ease working with a European HQ. You'll clearly advocate for your market, communicate across time zones, and stay aligned without it being a burden
What the job involves
- We're looking for someone to lead our North American partner team and personally own a portfolio of national soccer partnerships
- It's a player-manager position - you'll manage three partnership managers across the US while staying hands-on with Veo's most important nationwide soccer relationships
- There's real strategic work here: you'll help shape how we grow across North America and you'll have direct input into how we build the partner channel
- But don't expect a role where most of your week is spent on big-picture thinking
- A lot of the job is staying close to your partners - regular calls, renewals, solving problems before they become problems
- The best person for this role will find that energizing, not frustrating
- Manage and develop a team of three partnership managers across US regions, segments, and sports. Soccer is the core of the business and your personal focus, but two of your team are dedicated to emerging sports like lacrosse, volleyball, and field hockey. Guide and support them, help them navigate their markets, and set them up to succeed
- Own Veo's relationships with key nationwide soccer partners - leagues, federations, governing bodies. Renewals, day-to-day contact, and finding ways to deepen partnerships over time
- Drive market activations with partners - co-branded events, seminars, workshops, grassroots programs, league-wide campaigns - that build Veo's presence on the ground and convert partner reach into real growth
- Build new partnerships at the national level, leading from the first conversation through to a signed contract and long-term execution
- Stay sharp on the market. Who's growing, how decisions get made, where Veo fits - deep market knowledge is what separates good partnership work from great in this role
- Travel to events, partner sites, and conferences across the US. Face-time matters
- Feed market intelligence back to HQ. What your team hears on the ground shapes how our product and leadership teams in Copenhagen make decisions
- Use AI to move faster and work smarter - better prep, sharper outreach, cleaner reporting. We expect you to find where it saves you time and actually use it
- Report clearly on pipeline, performance, and team health
Our take
Statistics is a huge part of sports, from improving tactics based on the analysis of training sessions to the live-tracking of match events by fans. However, collecting the relevant in-game data for the analysis of a game is almost impossible to keep up with, limiting the breadth of information that can be learned from and shared.
Veo provides sports live-streaming camera technology that enables sports teams to automatically broadcast games, whilst AI analyses the gameplay to produce statistics. These statistics are aggregated into analytic dashboards that help teams uncover actionable insights from the statistics of games, in addition to providing viewers with crucial real-time updates.
Whilst Veo is not the first company to use technology to provide AI-driven sports statistics, the company’s technology relies solely on cameras as opposed to smart sports apparatus, allowing the solutions to be applied to any ball game. The company aims to boost viewership and engagement between sports teams and their fans, whilst providing teams with the analysis tools necessary to learn from their gameplay on a granular level. In 2023, Veo partnered with several UK county football associations to drive engagement with their respective fans and continues to release new and updated products.
