About the Role

Bitkernel is redefining how sports organizations engage, monetize, and grow their global fan bases.

We are building next-generation, direct-to-consumer streaming and fan engagement platforms powered by our Goose infrastructure—starting with top-tier football clubs in Brazil and scaling globally. This is not a traditional marketing role.

This is a 0→1 + scale leadership opportunity to architect and operationalize the full growth engine behind a new category of digital sports platforms—spanning:

• Streaming + content ecosystems
• Fan engagement and community platforms
• Monetization models (subscription, PPV, virtual economy)
• Multi-market global expansion

You will own the full lifecycle: Launch → Growth → Monetization → Global Scale …and build the system that makes it repeatable across clubs, markets, and verticals.

What You'll Own:

1. Global Growth Strategy & Market Expansion

• Define and execute expansion roadmap: Brazil → LATAM → Global
• Build repeatable go-to-market playbooks across clubs and markets
• Develop multi-channel acquisition strategies:
• • App ecosystems (iOS, Android, Smart TV)
  • Social (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)
  • Strategic distribution (telcos, media, sponsors)
• Segment and scale across:
• • Local vs. global fans
  • Casual vs. core audiences

2. Fan Engagement & Community Systems

• Design a standardized fan engagement architecture across all platforms:
• • Live match interaction (chat, real-time features)
  • Community ecosystems (groups, discussions)
  • Gamification (points, missions, loyalty loops)
  • Membership tiers (VIP, premium experiences)
• Own and optimize key metrics:
• • Engagement (watch time, interaction depth)
  • Retention (D1 / D7 / D30)
  • Conversion and monetization funnels

3. Content & Programming Strategy

• Define scalable content frameworks:
• • Live matches, highlights, behind-the-scenes, player access
• Drive content cadence and distribution strategy
• Enable club partners to elevate content production capabilities
• Lead multilingual content expansion (Portuguese, Spanish, English)

4. Monetization & Revenue Architecture

• Design and scale diversified revenue streams:
• • Subscription (SVOD)
  • Pay-per-view (PPV)
  • Advertising (AVOD)
  • Virtual economy (gifting, tipping)
  • Commerce (merchandising)
• Optimize core business metrics:
• • ARPU / LTV
  • Paid conversion rates
• Develop pricing strategies across global markets

5. Data, Analytics & Growth Optimization

• Build the full funnel:
  Acquisition → Activation → Retention → Revenue → Referral
• Establish dashboards and performance infrastructure
• Lead experimentation strategy:
• • A/B testing
  • Conversion rate optimization (CRO)
• Create cross-market and cross-club benchmarking systems

6. Team & Operational Scaling

• Build and lead a global Marketing & Operations function
• Establish scalable operating systems and SOPs
• Manage multi-market, multi-partner execution
• Oversee agencies, local operators, and distribution partners

7. Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner deeply with:
• • Product & Engineering (translate capability → growth)
  • Club stakeholders (marketing, content, leadership)
  • Regional partners across LATAM and beyond
• Bridge technology, content, and commercial strategy

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 12–18 months:

• Successful multi-club platform launches
• Measurable growth in:
• • Active users
  • Engagement
  • Monetization
• A repeatable, scalable global playbook
• A high-performing, globally distributed team
• A platform that becomes core to how clubs engage fans worldwide

Why This Role Is Different

• You’re not inheriting a machine—you’re building it
• You’re not optimizing one market—you’re scaling globally
• You’re not supporting product—you’re defining the business model

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of: sports + streaming + community + commerce + global expansion

What We Require for this Role:

Core Experience

• 10+ years in:
• • OTT / streaming platforms
  • Sports media or fan ecosystems
  • Consumer internet / growth leadership
• Proven track record:
• • Launching and scaling digital platforms
  • Driving measurable user growth and monetization

• Top-Tier Education: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field from a 4-yr accredited institution globally ranked in the top 500 universities.

Domain Expertise

• Strong understanding of:
• • Fan behavior and community dynamics
  • Subscription + hybrid monetization models (SVOD / AVOD / PPV)
• Experience operating across international markets (LATAM strongly preferred)

How You Operate

• You think like a GM, not just a marketer
• You can move between strategy and execution without friction
• You understand that product, content, and growth are inseparable
• You are deeply data-driven, but not data-dependent
• You know how to scale systems—not just teams

Bonus Points for Candidates Who Have:

• Experience with:
• • Football clubs, leagues, or sports rights holders
  • Live streaming + interactive/community platforms
  • Creator economy or virtual gifting ecosystems
• Strong industry network (media, telco, distribution)
• Multilingual (English + Spanish and/or Portuguese)
