Market Director - Ticketing

Your Role

We’re hiring a Market Director to grow our ticketing business and oversee its daily operations. In this role, you’ll define and execute a strategic roadmap to achieve goals across our Youth, Club & High School business unit. You’ll unlock value by turning fan attention into revenue, from the tickets fans buy to the ads they see on Hudl’s streams.

As a Market Director, Ticketing, you’ll:

• Drive strategy and execution. You’ll develop a strategic roadmap for Hudl’s ticketing market. You’ll prioritize opportunities based on fan reach, event volume and revenue potential to make sure we see the value we promised from our investments.
• Boost revenue and profitability. You’ll manage the P&L for ticketing to meet our financial goals. That means creating smart pricing strategies, setting sales targets and building revenue forecasts across ticketing services.
• Construct the pitch. You’ll shape the offer, pricing, packaging and value story for each type of customer, then turn it into a repeatable motion the broader sales org can run.
• Expand the market and engage customers. You’ll grow relationships with schools, clubs, leagues, governing bodies and partners. You’ll lead negotiations to secure ticketing agreements and sales that reach more fans.
• Make it real. You’ll own implementation end to end, so signed plans get delivered and customers realize the value we promised, not just the strategy on paper.
• Lead and develop teams. You’ll mentor and train Hudlies, helping onboard and develop individuals across the broader team. You’ll also work with Product, Engineering, Sales and Finance to align everyone around our ticketing roadmap.
