The Role:
We are seeking an exceptional SVP, Real Money Gaming to lead and scale our advertising business with RMG Clients. Genius is transforming sports media through its exclusive sports audiences, Moment Engine, and unique sports inventory. These products sit at the forefront of fan activation, data analytics, and digital transformation, powering a curated media business that has grown from the ground up to quickly becoming a known entity across the world of digital media.
This is a builder's mandate, not a maintenance role: you'll be responsible for the P&L, the commercial strategy, and the operating discipline behind the next phase of growth. You'll work closely with other commercial leaders, product, and marketing to shape the business.
You’ll bring direct, active relationships with the gaming industry’s CMOs and leadership teams. You’ll also bring the operating chops to build pricing discipline and deal governance into a business that's scaling fast, and a track record of diversifying revenue so growth isn't dependent on a handful of accounts.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic Relationship Building
Pricing Discipline, Deal Governance, and Diversification
Cross-Functional & Industry Leadership
Team & People Leadership
What You’ll Bring:
- A proven P&L owner who has scaled a media business past $100M.
- Deep fluency in programmatic media and the wider ad tech landscape.
- Demonstrated experience building pricing discipline and deal governance in a scaling business - this is a builder mandate, not a maintenance role.
- A track record of diversifying revenue away from a small number of advertisers, having reduced concentration risk in a prior seat.
- A peer-level operator who works closely with media, product, and data leadership rather than operating as a standalone sales function.
- Experience leading and evolving a team through a high-growth phase — comfortable inheriting a team, assessing performance, and reshaping it as the business scales.
- Exceptional negotiation, communication, and stakeholder management skills at the C-suite level.
This role offers an annualized salary of $250,000 to $300,000 USD, plus variable compensation, and includes eligibility for Genius Sports Group’s benefits plan.
We enjoy an ‘office-first’ culture and maximize opportunities to collaborate, connect and learn together. Our hybrid working models differ depending on your role and location. Occasional travel may be required.
As well as a competitive salary and range of benefits, we’re committed to supporting employee wellbeing and helping you grow your skills, experience and career. Learn more about how rewarding life at Genius can be at Reward | Genius Sports.
