Fiercely original, trend-setting, boundary-breaking; leadership embraces bold creativity and challenging the status quo.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've driven measurable ticket, subscription, or consumer revenue growth via paid media; you speak ROAS, CAC, and incrementality fluently
  • You thrive owning the full funnel—from awareness campaigns to conversion optimization to repeat purchase automation
  • You're analytical but scrappy; you can move fast in a sports/live event environment with seasonal urgency and competing priorities
  • You geek out on data storytelling; you can translate performance insights into clear, actionable strategy recommendations for non-marketing stakeholders
  • You're excited by sports/fan culture and want to build something bold in women's sports
Won't Work If
  • You've only worked in B2B SaaS or enterprise marketing; sports/consumer growth is a different beast and you're not eager to learn it
  • You need executive decision-making power without cross-functional alignment; Gotham's structure requires you to influence ticketing, creative, and analytics teams without owning them
  • You're looking for a hands-off strategic role; this is execution-heavy, with weekly optimization and fast iterations expected

Interview Process

Phone/Zoom Screening

Hiring manager or recruiting—15-20 min culture fit, growth marketing background, and NWSL/sports familiarity

2

Case Study or Portfolio Review

Present a paid media campaign you've led; walk through strategy, channels, KPIs, results, and learnings

3

Stakeholder Panel Interview

Meet with VP of Marketing, Ticketing Lead, and Business Strategy & Analytics lead; discuss cross-functional approach, data translation, and priority-setting

4

Final Round / Offer

CEO, CMO, or senior leadership conversation; culture and vision alignment
