• Translate growth, audience, commercial, and brand goals into clear campaign strategies, partner opportunities, offers, channel plans, and success metrics.
• Identify and develop opportunities with strategic partners, platforms, retailers, media owners, affiliates, and other distribution channels.
• Own major campaigns from strategy and concept through launch, optimization, and post-campaign learning.
• Lead execution across Growth Marketing, Brand, Creative, Content, Product, CRM, Media, Social, Analytics, Commercial, Legal, Finance, and regional teams.
• Develop partner propositions, activation plans, and promotional offers that create value for fans and drive business results.
• Build campaign frameworks and playbooks that can scale globally while allowing for strong local execution.
• Lead the approach to app store and platform growth assets across major campaigns, launches, and promotional moments.
• Use performance data and experimentation to improve campaigns, offers, creative, partner channels, and promotional mechanics.
• Build and lead a high-performing team and improve how we work through clearer processes, tools, automation, and planning.

We are considering applicants available to work a hybrid schedule, with three days each week onsite at our Dallas office.

• A track record of leading large-scale growth and promotional campaigns across multiple markets and channels, with clear results across acquisition, engagement, retention, or revenue.
• Strong background building and activating strategic partnerships, promotions, consumer offers, or platform marketing programs that drive growth.
• Hands-on knowledge of app store merchandising and creative, mobile growth, in-app events, or platform marketing.
• Ability to work across global and regional teams to bring complex campaigns to market, connecting brand, creative, partnerships, and growth.
• A track record of building or improving how campaigns get done at scale, from planning and resourcing through production, launch, and post-campaign review.
• Experience managing external partners, agencies, vendors, and budgets.
• Strong business and analytical judgment, with the ability to use data to make decisions and adjust as needed.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to influence senior leaders, external partners, and teams across the business.
• Background in streaming, entertainment, gaming, subscription, ecommerce, technology, or another large digital consumer business.
• Familiarity with automation, experimentation, AI, or emerging marketing technology to improve scale, efficiency, or the customer experience is strongly preferred.
• Passion for anime or fandom-driven entertainment is a plus.
