Marketing people at Tifosy have to be excellent at running projects and ensuring timely execution. At the same time, they must demonstrate their ability to see the full picture beyond just the execution of their respective project lines. They must consider how they work meaningfully and collaboratively with their country business development leader and the various stakeholder groups, some of whom will be external. The successful candidate will be coming into contact with senior leadership of some of the world’s most successful football clubs.

Candidates need to have strong emotional intelligence, an understanding of how to operate effectively in a multi-cultural and international environment where all manner of commercial considerations have to be taken into consideration. They must understand how to get tasks done end to end in a fast-paced environment.

Broadly, the high-level role purpose and duties are as follows:

• Taking single-point accountability in leading and coordinating all internal and external resources to deliver the project plan on time and with excellence
• Defining scope, structure, phasing and marketing strategy for multi-million euro capital raise projects
• Leading marketing plan definition and execution in market
• Overseeing creative development of all marketing materials, static and video
• Producing high quality written copy for use across multiple channels
• Leading and coordinating the creation of highly complex investor documentation
• Managing any risks and issues that arise and escalating where necessary
• Delivering regular detailed and insightful analytics reports

The individual

• Minimum 4-5 years’ experience in large, complex project management and marketing.
• Ideal background would be blue-chip consumer goods, telecoms, finance or web/digital company, either on client or agency side
• Fluent in Italian and English, both spoken and in writing (excellent grammar/spelling); ideally proficient in other languages (esp. French, German, Spanish)
• Good understanding of digital media tools i.e. web, mobile, social media, email etc.
• Organised and thorough in approach to project management, documentation and proficient in tools such as Excel, Powerpoint and Word.
• Strong client relationship building experience.
• Excellent writing, communication and presentation skills.
• Highly numerate with a sharp eye for detail.
• Able to work to tight timelines and to prioritise across multiple streams and stakeholders in what will be a fast-paced working environment.
• Someone who truly understands what being in a start-up or early-stage environment looks like – the hours required (games take place in the evenings and weekends so the individual may be working with counterparts who are not running a traditional working week), the commitment required, the ability to work in an agile and fast moving environment, the need for a “roll up sleeves” approach.
• Combination of strategic thinker and hands-on executioner. This is not for someone who only wants strategy, nor is it for someone who cannot get out of the weeds and up and above the day to day.

The cultural “fit”

This is what we are looking for and what “they get it” is going to look like:

• Responds positively in a fast moving environment where some unpredictable matters will occur. Good with change. An individual who is level-headed under pressure, broad shouldered, who doesn’t let people see them sweat and who are strong when it comes to controlling their emotions when the tempo is fast and the pressure is on.
• The individual should enjoy the relationship management features and be able to demonstrate what they have achieved in that respect. In short, people have to want to deal with them and they have to respect them. At the same time when it comes to getting things executed and “done” they need to be able to concentrate, focus and deliver. Those that are easily distracted or too casual will not make it.
• The ability to work effectively in matrix and multiple stakeholder environments (UK and overseas) and both internally and externally, and where daily, quick turnaround interaction with technical and commercial decision makers will be the norm. We have a relaxed and supportive environment but team members must always have high standards of professionalism at all times.
• Used to working with high intellect leadership groups and, at the same time, delicately balance this with working with a broader range of contacts on the client side whose talents may be different and diverse but who nonetheless play a key contributor role to the Company’s commercial goals. The individual needs to know their audience and calibrate their approach appropriately (strong emotional intelligence).
• Strong communication skills – both written and verbal - able to speak confidently and compellingly about proposals and concepts but at the same time have a strong instinct for, “Is this the right time to be saying this?” and to be considerate of what is going on in the broader environment, i.e. critical deadlines in play, etc.
• This will not be a 9-5 environment. The Company is in its early stages and where the audience and counter-parts are cross-border and on timelines beyond London. The Company does not expect to disrupt its team members’ work-life balance but, at the same time if its team members want this type of unique career opportunity then there will need to be open-mindedness and flexibility.
