## About the role

The Director of Brand Strategy for Yahoo Sports is someone who enjoys the product as much as they enjoy the business of selling it. They will lead and inspire a high-performing team responsible for developing innovative, client-focused advertising solutions for Yahoo Sports' direct ad sales business.

## What they're looking for

- Minimum of 10 years of experience in sales strategy, brand strategy, account management, or related roles, with at least 6 years leading teams in the sports category or at an endemic sports company or agency
- Proven track record of leading and motivating high-performing teams, achieving ambitious revenue targets, and building long-term strategic client relationships
- Working knowledge of the sports media landscape — rights and live events, fantasy, sportsbook and DFS, and endemic categories such as QSR, auto, beer, and telco — including how seasonality shapes planning and pacing
- Deep understanding of digital advertising trends, content marketing, and monetization strategies across platforms
- Strong executive presence and experience developing and presenting C-Level narratives that drive decision-making
- Strategic Vision: Ability to align big-picture strategies with actionable plans that deliver measurable results
