About the Role
Bitkernel is redefining how sports organizations engage, monetize, and grow their global fan bases.
We are building next-generation, direct-to-consumer streaming and fan engagement platforms powered by our Goose infrastructure-starting with top-tier football clubs in Brazil and scaling globally. This is not a traditional marketing role.
This is a
0→1 + scale leadership opportunity to architect and operationalize the full growth engine behind a new category of digital sports platforms-spanning:
- Streaming + content ecosystems
- Fan engagement and community platforms
- Monetization models (subscription, PPV, virtual economy)
- Multi-market global expansion
You will own the full lifecycle:
Launch → Growth → Monetization → Global Scale ...and build the system that makes it repeatable across clubs, markets, and verticals.
What You'll Own:
1. Global Growth Strategy & Market Expansion

- Build repeatable go-to-market playbooks across clubs and markets
- Develop multi-channel acquisition strategies:
-

- Social (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram)
- Strategic distribution (telcos, media, sponsors)
- Segment and scale across:
-
- Local vs. global fans
- Casual vs. core audiences
2. Fan Engagement & Community Systems
- Design a standardized fan engagement architecture across all platforms:
-
- Live match interaction (chat, real-time features)

3. Content & Programming Strategy

4. Monetization & Revenue Architecture

- Advertising (AVOD)
- Virtual economy (gifting, tipping)
- Commerce (merchandising)
- Optimize core business metrics:
-
- ARPU / LTV
- Paid conversion rates
- Develop pricing strategies across global markets
5. Data, Analytics & Growth Optimization
- Build the full funnel:
Acquisition → Activation → Retention → Revenue → Referral
- Establish dashboards and performance infrastructure
- Lead experimentation strategy:
-
- A/B testing
- Conversion rate optimization (CRO)
- Create cross-market and cross-club benchmarking systems
6. Team & Operational Scaling

Why This Role Is Different
- You're not inheriting a machine-you're building it

- You're not supporting product-you're defining the business model
This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of:
sports + streaming + community + commerce + global expansion

How You Operate
