The National Football League (NFL) is hiring a senior, globally experienced marketing leader to build and lead our International 1:1 Club Managed Services—an internal “agency” that delivers personalized, compliant, and localized fan engagement across 20+ markets for all 32 Clubs.
This role exists to scale 1:1 personalization internationally by using league data, platforms, and best practices, allowing Clubs to accelerate fan growth with quality, speed, and trust. You’ll own the strategy, operations, governance, and performance of a high-volume, multi-market service that executes 4,000+ campaigns annually across email, SMS, push, in-app, web, and emerging channels.
You’ll lead a distributed team, partner with Clubs and league stakeholders, and ensure that experimentation and privacy-by-design are embedded in how we operate.
What You’ll Do

- Own the international 1:1 managed service model as an internal agency for all 32 Clubs.
- Define the service catalog, engagement model, SLAs, intake, and prioritization to drive predictable, high-impact delivery.
- Ensure consistent execution across markets, time zones, and languages.
Run world-class operations at scale
- Lead and develop a distributed team (~15 contingent associates) across regions to deliver thousands of campaigns with reliability and quality.
- Establish operating rhythms, templates, QA standards, and training for high-volume execution.
- Balance capacity and Club demand without compromising quality or compliance.
Drive international 1:1 execution and enablement
- Orchestrate behavioral, transactional, and engagement signal–driven journeys across email, SMS, mobile push/in-app, and web.
- Champion test-and-learn (A/B, multivariate, holdouts) to continuously improve relevance and ROI at scale.
- Publish playbooks and best practices that enable local nuance with global standards.
Own data privacy, governance & regional compliance
- Lead governance for international fan data and PII usage across the service.
- Translate GDPR, CPRA, and market-specific rules into practical standards for Clubs and service teams.
- Partner with Legal, Data & Analytics, and MarTech to ensure privacy-by-design.
Be a trusted strategic partner to Clubs
- Advise Club leadership on 1:1 capabilities, personalization strategies, and market complexity.
- Build adoption and trust through consistent delivery, clear communication, and measurable outcomes.
- Surface market insights and opportunities to scale impact.
Align cross-functionally and report outcomes
- Partner across International, Marketing, Clubs, MarTech, and Data & Analytics to align with league priorities.
- Lead annual/quarterly planning to match Club demand, service capacity, and fan growth objectives.
- Provide executive-level reporting on performance, learnings, and international trends.
What You’ll Achieve in Your First 6–12 Months
- Launch & scale: Stand up (or refine) the global service catalog, intake, SLAs, QA, and reporting across 20+ markets.
- Quality & speed: Reduce cycle times for campaign setup and approvals while improving error rates and deliverability.
- Personalization depth: Expand beyond rules-based segmentation to journey-triggered and signal-based personalization.
- Experimentation culture: Implement an experimentation framework (test library, win thresholds, rollout discipline).
- Compliance-by-default: Codify consent and data usage standards that simplify execution and reduce risk for Clubs.
- Adoption & satisfaction: Increase Club utilization and satisfaction through transparent prioritization and outcomes.
- 10+ years in CRM/lifecycle/performance-driven engagement, with significant international experience.
- Proven success in operating managed services, agency, or shared services models at a global scale.
- Deep familiarity with privacy and marketing regulations and their operational impact across regions (e.g., GDPR).
- Experience leading distributed teams and complex, high-volume operations across time zones.
- Strong stakeholder management with senior leaders and client-like internal partners.
- Hands-on expertise with modern MarTech (e.g., CDPs such as Adobe RTCDP/Salesforce Data Cloud/Segment/mParticle; orchestration tools such as Adobe Journey Optimizer/SFMC/Braze/Iterable).
- Passion for building systems that empower local execution while maintaining global standards.
Preferred
- Builder mindset: Experience standing up or scaling new operating models (internal agency, managed services, shared services).
- Strategic storytelling: Able to distill complex data, international, or regulatory topics into clear decisions and plans.
- Operational excellence: Exceptionally organized with a track record of managing high-volume, multi-market work without sacrificing quality.
- Collaborative leadership: Thrives in matrixed environments; aligns stakeholders without direct authority.
