About the Role
The Company is seeking a Vice President, Communications to spearhead the narrative of its evolving sports media brand. This pivotal role involves crafting and executing a comprehensive PR strategy that spans live events, streaming apps, and original programming. The successful candidate will be responsible for owning and evolving the PR calendar, creating and disseminating compelling press materials, and securing earned media across various verticals. As the function develops, the VP may also oversee the brand's organic social presence to ensure a cohesive voice. The role demands a seasoned professional with a minimum of 10 years' experience in public relations or communications, particularly within the media, sports, or entertainment sectors. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of driving results in a fast-paced environment, a strong network of press contacts, and the ability to work closely with senior leadership and high-profile partners.
Applicants for the Vice President, Communications position at the company should possess a deep understanding of how PR and social media strategies intersect, with the ability to partner with social leads to maintain a unified brand voice. The role requires a strategic thinker with the confidence to operate independently and the skills to manage crisis communications with poise. A passion for storytelling is essential, and while a love for tennis or live sports is a plus, it is not a mandatory requirement. The VP will be at the forefront of a significant transformation, reporting directly to the SVP of Marketing and collaborating with key executives. This is a unique opportunity to shape the voice and visibility of the brand during a pivotal moment, with a focus on creative autonomy and high executive impact.
