Overview
Suns Legacy Partners, LLC is in the business of providing world-class experiences and lasting memories to fans of sports and entertainment. It’s also in the practice of serving the community at-large by delivering tech and eco-innovations designed to make our lives better and the world a healthier and safer place.
None of it would be possible without the support of a global partner ecosystem that is intertwined with the community-first values we all hold dear. Recent groundbreaking deals with Bally Sports, Footprint and Verizon are a few examples of the types of solutions-based partnerships sharply focused on social and environmental issues, creating the need for a cross-functional marketing team that is dedicated to servicing these relationships.
We are looking for an entrepreneurial marketer to join our organization in a new role leading the new Partner Marketing team. The Director for Partner Marketing will support the work of the Activation team to deliver partner entitlements as laid out in each partner’s playbook, including the integration of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury brands, and the newly minted Footprint Center, with the brands of our current and prospective partners. The Partner Marketing team sits at the intersection of brand-to-brand initiatives and storytelling. It is a matrixed group led by the Marketing Director and is comprised of representatives from the cross functional marketing group including marketing, social, creative and communications reporting into their functional groups. The Partner Marketing team will also work across all functional teams including broadcast, digital, and game presentation to fulfill those partner entitlements, and bring an enterprising approach to less-defined initiatives.
Responsibilities
• Develop and lead a high-performing team responsible for delivering negotiated partner entitlements and creating innovative solutions for brand-to-brand integration.
• Demonstrate the ability to influence and work with multifunctional teams to drive work forward.
• Foster an environment of collaboration between the teams working to deliver marketing solutions for our partner brands and the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Mercury and Footprint Center.
• Work entrepreneurially to discover new and innovative tools that elevate the partner experience in line with their entitlements
Abilities
• A Bachelor’s Degree.
• 5 years of management experience.
• 5-10 years’ experience in brand marketing, marketing agency or managing partnerships.
• Ability to develop creative solutions that generate business development.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Excel, Word, PowerPoint and other computer skills.
• Ability to work flexible hours including evenings, weekends, some holidays, and event nights.
• This position is based in Phoenix, Arizona.
