Role Mission

We're looking for an experienced Account Director to join our growing North American team and lead influencer marketing campaigns for one of the world's fastest-growing sports-betting platforms.

You'll be responsible for developing and managing creator campaigns that engage passionate sports communities, working with creators, analysts, and personalities across major sporting events and leagues. This is a key client-facing role, offering the opportunity to shape campaign strategy, build long-term partnerships, and help grow one of the most exciting accounts in the business.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building trusted client relationships, and know how to translate business objectives into impactful creator campaigns, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities
  • Act as the strategic lead for sports-focused client accounts, building trusted relationships and providing proactive recommendations that drive long-term success.
  • Own influencer marketing campaigns from strategy and planning through execution, optimisation, and reporting, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.
  • Develop creative campaign strategies, identifying the right athletes, creators, sports personalities, and content formats to achieve client objectives.
  • Collaborate closely with internal teams to ensure seamless campaign delivery while identifying opportunities to grow existing client partnerships and expand accounts.
  • Stay up to date with trends across sport, fitness, and creator culture, bringing fresh ideas and strategic insight to every campaign.


Skills & Experience
  • Previous experience in influencer marketing, account management, client services, or sports marketing.
  • Proven experience managing end-to-end influencer or creator campaigns.
  • Strong understanding of the sports landscape and digital creator ecosystem.
  • Experience working with sports creators, publishers, athletes, or sports-focused communities is highly desirable.
  • Interest in sports, prediction markets, Web3, crypto, or adjacent industries is a strong plus.
  • Strong strategic thinking-you don't just execute campaigns, you help shape them.
  • Excellent project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.


Benefits:
  • Flexible schedule and hybrid work options that help you balance your time and work in a way that fits your life.
  • A global mobility plan that lets you move across SAMY, unlock new markets, and turn your next career step into a real adventure.
  • Celebrate your birthday with a day off, and enjoy December 24th and 31st as company holidays-time to switch off, recharge, and focus on what really matters.
  • A transparent, performance-driven compensation framework, designed to reward impact, support growth, and ensure fairness at every stage of your career.
