Department: 21-492 - COO - Commercial & Corporate Strategy

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: US - New York

Joining DAZN as Manager, Strategy & Business Development puts you at the center of one of the most dynamic sports media companies in the world. You'll work alongside senior strategy leaders on DAZN's North America expansion-supporting rights negotiations, building financial models, and helping develop the commercial strategies that shape our growth. This is an ideal role for an analytically rigorous, commercially curious thinker who wants real ownership over meaningful work in a fast-moving environment. You'll get direct exposure to executive decision-making and contribute to how we identify and unlock new sources of value across regions and platforms.

As Manager, Strategy & Business Development, you will support DAZN's commercial strategy across our U.S. sports portfolio, with a particular focus on our expansion into the regional sports space. You will play a hands-on role across financial modelling, deal analysis, strategic planning, and cross-functional execution. You'll help build the materials, models, and analyses that inform high-stakes commercial decisions—and increasingly take ownership of discrete workstreams. If you're analytical and entrepreneurial with a passion for media and sport, this is a unique opportunity to grow into a senior commercial role at a global disruptor.
