  • Monitor the external supplier landscape and bring market insight, innovation and new ideas into the business.
  • Partner with Product & Technology, Commercial MDs, Finance, Legal and Compliance to align partnership decisions with roadmap, proposition and regulatory needs.
  • Be a senior advisor to stakeholders on content investment decisions, supplier strategy and partnership priorities.
  • Lead, develop and mentor a high-performing team, setting high standards for commercial execution, stakeholder management and supplier governance.

  • Experience from either the operator side or supplier side, with understanding of the relevant content and supplier ecosystem.
  • Proven success leading complex commercial negotiations and managing strategic third-party relationships.
  • Experience operating in a senior cross-functional environment with exposure to executive stakeholders.
  • Track record of leading and developing teams.

Skills & Capabilities

Really though, it’s the people that truly make us who we are. There’s over 30,000 of us around the world and counting, but we all play for the same team.

We’re proud to promote a culture that shatters barriers to unite, and encourages uncompromised diversity of background, thought and experience. When we win, we win together.

If you share our values and want to be part of the revolution, we want you on our team.
