Job description

Job Summary:
Fanatics is building a leading global digital sports platform, and they are seeking a Vice President of TCG Publishing to define and execute the long-term strategy for their trading card games. The role involves overseeing game launches, community engagement, and the digital infrastructure that connects players.
Responsibilities:
• Define the long-term go-to-market strategy for Fanatics TCG, including how we launch, live-support, and steward games over their full lifecycle. Your team will be responsible for release planning, set lifecycle management, and player communication cadence.
• Own the strategic direction of organized play across the portfolio, from store-level events through regional and premier competition, including judge programs, prize support philosophy, qualification structures, and the balance between competitive and casual play that sustains long-term ecosystem health.
• Architect and scale the player-facing digital ecosystem, including companion apps, deckbuilders, collection tools, rules references, and the play clients that extend our games beyond the table.
• Build the player-identity and community infrastructure that connects players to us and to each other across titles: accounts, cross-title player identity, community platforms, creator and influencer programs, and the publishing voice.
• Identify where Fanatics' existing trading-card publishing capabilities translate to TCG, and navigate the differences.
• Align cross-functional partners across Studios, Commercial, Retail, Product, Marketing, Operations, and Finance to ensure cohesive execution.
• Build and lead a small, senior, high-leverage team responsible for digital product, organized play, publishing operations, and community and player relations.
Qualifications:
Required:
• 12-18+ years in senior publishing, product, or operating leadership roles, ideally in TCG, gaming, or closely adjacent hobby categories. Strong publishing leaders from adjacent categories with the appetite and humility to learn TCG-specific craft fast will also be considered
• A genuine product mind for player-facing software, not just an operational one. Holds their own with digital product leaders on roadmap, prioritization, and what makes a companion product loved versus tolerated
• A builder and systems thinker who creates repeatable capabilities – focused on scale and sustained outcomes rather than launch by launch
• Comfort operating in white space – defining functions that don't yet exist, drawing boundaries with peers in real time, and making calls without complete information
• Strong commercial and analytical literacy; speaks fluently with P&L owners without owning the P&L
• Player respect as a core operating value, with excellent instincts about what serves the player base over a ten-year horizon, and the willingness to advocate for them in rooms focused on shorter time scales
Preferred:
• Senior leadership experience inside a major TCG publisher
• Experience designing or running organized play programs at scale
• Background in hybrid physical + digital ecosystems or marketplace businesses
• Familiarity with licensing, IP partnerships, or entertainment ecosystems
• Experience in high-growth consumer or digital commerce environments
• Passion for trading card games, gaming, and fan culture
Company:
Fanatics is a global sports platform reimagining the fan experience across gear, trading cards, sports betting, content, events, and more. Founded in 2011, the company is headquartered in New York, USA, with a team of 10001+ employees. The company is currently Late Stage.
