A leading European consultancy, known for helping sports tech companies scale into new markets, is launching in the U.S. We’re hiring a VP of Business Development to lead U.S. growth—specifically someone with deep experience in digital and OTT broadcast technologies for the sports industry.

This role is tailor-made for someone who knows how to sell innovation in the broadcast space—whether it's fan engagement platforms, content localization, streaming tools, or data-driven media products—to leagues, clubs, and federations.


What You’ll Do

 

  • Own business development across North America with a focus on digital/OTT sports broadcast technologies
  • Use your established network across leagues, clubs, federations, broadcasters, and agencies to open doors and build lasting partnerships
  • Represent two high-potential sportstech platforms:
  • A proven fan engagement tool already generating $4M+ annually in the U.S.
  • An AI-powered content localization product translating live sports content in real time
  • Drive the U.S. go-to-market strategy and shape commercial success for our partners
  • Deliver strategic market insights and competitive intelligence to guide expansion
  • Act as the key link between U.S. clients and international HQs

 


What We’re Looking For:

 

  • Experience in business development, partnerships, or sales in U.S. sportstech—specifically with digital broadcast, OTT, or non-linear media products
  • Proven ability to sell into sports leagues, clubs, federations, or major broadcasters
  • A strong, actionable network within the sports media ecosystem
  • A self-starter who’s entrepreneurial, proactive, and excited to build from scratch
  • Solid track record of winning deals and delivering revenue growth
  • Experience with global tech or sports organizations is a bonus

 


Why This Role

 

  • Lead U.S. expansion for two standout broadcast-focused sportstech companies
  • High-impact role with full ownership of commercial strategy and execution
  • Work alongside a global team with a history of successfully scaling startups
  • Flexible, remote-first work environment with autonomy and trust
  • Generous compensation package with base, bonus, and equity upside

 

If you’re a sportstech veteran with a passion for digital broadcast innovation and a playbook for selling into top-tier sports organizations, apply today.
