  • Lead design, development, and execution of advertising campaigns and promotional programs via traditional channels such as print, radio, outdoor, and sponsorships.
  • Collaborate with internal partners (merchandising, retail operations, leadership) and with external agencies / vendors to deliver high-quality creative and execution.
  • Own the Sporting Life Rewards program and first-party customer data strategy, using insights to drive personalization, loyalty, and omnichannel growth while upholding privacy and consent standards.
  • Develop and manage the marketing budget, allocating resources to maximize impact of advertising, promotions, events, and partnerships.
  • Oversee social media strategy and brand focused content to support promotional and campaign goals, ensuring consistency in voice and messaging.
  • Spearhead events, activations, sponsorships, and community partnerships, amplifying Sporting Life’s presence in sport / lifestyle networks.
  • Conduct market, competitive, and consumer research to inform strategy; measure success of campaigns via KPIs e.g. brand awareness, traffic, sales lift, and partner outcomes.
  • Continuously assess ROI and campaign effectiveness; use insights to refine tactics and improve future initiatives.
  • Collaborate with the Digital Center of Excellence (COE) to optimize content, product listings, and on-site SEO efforts for maximum search engine performance and engagement.
  • Provide overall direction and leadership to the marketing function, promoting alignment, clear communication, and shared ownership of marketing outcomes across the organization.

  • 10+ years of progressive marketing leadership experience in retail, consumer, or lifestyle brands.
  • Proven ability to lead marketing strategy and execution across advertising, promotions, sponsorships, and social media.
  • Strong experience collaborating across functions and influencing executive-level decisions.
  • Track record of managing agencies and vendor partners to deliver impactful campaigns.
