Joining DAZN as VP, Partner Account Management gives you the opportunity drive growth in one of the most ambitious sports media companies in the world with the rights holders that power it. You’ll help manage DAZN’s relationships with U.S. regional sports partners—serving as their primary point of contact, keeping them informed, and making sure we show up as a best-in-class partner every day.

This is a high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of commercial, operations, and strategy, and requires someone who can build trust externally while driving alignment internally. If you’re a natural relationship builder with a sharp commercial instinct and a passion for sports media, this is a unique opportunity to shape how DAZN is experienced by the partners that matter most.

As VP, Partner Account Management, you’ll be the key point of contact for DAZN’s channel partners in the US. You will manage relationships with top-tier sports organizations like the NFL, identifying new revenue opportunities, and driving growth within our partner channels. Working closely with internal teams, including finance, marketing, and commercial, you’ll develop and execute strategies to grow subscriber bases and meet or exceed business targets.

This is a unique opportunity to work in a pioneering role within a rapidly growing sports streaming company.

As VP, Partner Account Management, you will serve a key point of content for DAZN’s U.S. regional sports rights holder partners. You will be responsible for the health of those partnerships end-to-end—managing day-to-day communication, delivering performance reporting, and coordinating across internal teams to ensure DAZN is fulfilling its obligations and maximizing the value of each relationship. You’ll work closely with colleagues in strategy, finance, product, marketing, and legal to translate partner needs into internal action, and to surface insights that inform how we evolve our approach.

This is a role that requires both strong external presence and the organizational rigor to keep complex, multi-stakeholder relationships running smoothly.
