Growth & Acquisition Lead
Purpose
The Growth & Acquisition Lead is responsible for owning the strategy and execution that drives efficient, scalable growth in registered fans and subscribers across products and markets.
The role focuses on identifying high‑value fan segments and optimising the end‑to‑end acquisition funnel to attract, convert and monetise fans effectively, while ensuring acquisition quality supports long‑term engagement and lifetime value.
This is a senior individual‑contributor role within a developing central capability team, operating through influence, expertise and delivery rather than line management. The role acts as a strategic driver of acquisition and conversion performance across multiple products and markets, with significant cross‑functional impact.
Why this role exists
As the organisation scales across products and markets, there is a clear need for a central capability that accelerates growth by setting direction, raising standards and driving efficiency in fan acquisition and conversion.
This role exists to bring deep expertise, consistency and commercial rigour to how we grow registered and subscribed audiences globally. It ensures local execution is supported by proven frameworks, insight and best practice, and that growth activity is efficient, scalable and aligned to long‑term fan value rather than short‑term volume.
