Über diese Director, Offline Media Stelle bei Underdog
At Underdog, we make sports more fun.
Our thesis is simple: build the best products and we’ll build the biggest company in the space, because there’s so much more to be built for sports fans. We’re just over five years in, and we’re one of the fastest-growing sports companies ever, most recently valued at $1.3B. And it’s still the early days.
We’ve built and scaled multiple games and products across fantasy sports, sports betting, and prediction markets, all united in one seamless, simple, easy to use, intuitive and fun app.
Underdog isn’t for everyone. One of our core values is give a sh*t. The people who win here are the ones who care, push, and perform. If that’s you, come join us.
Winning as an Underdog is more fun.
About the role
- Own Underdog's offline media strategy across Linear TV, OTT/CTV, Radio/Audio, Out-of-Home, and future offline acquisition channels.
- Manage a significant media budget with full accountability for efficiency, incrementality, and business impact.
- Identify new opportunities to scale acquisition through creative media buying, emerging channels, partnerships, and innovative testing strategies.
- Continuously optimize media investments by minimizing non-incremental spend and reallocating budget toward the highest-return opportunities.
- Develop increasingly sophisticated local and regional media strategies to improve targeting and efficiency.
- Lead agency strategy and performance, ensuring we're working with best-in-class partners and holding them accountable to ambitious goals.
- Partner closely with Creative, Brand, Paid Social, and Lifecycle Marketing to build integrated campaigns that deliver consistent messaging across channels.
- Champion creative testing within offline media, ensuring creative strategy is treated as a growth lever—not just a production function.
- Define KPIs and measurement frameworks for offline marketing performance.

- Highly analytical with a strong understanding of attribution, incrementality testing, media mix modeling, and marketing measurement.
- Experience building or overseeing brand/media measurement frameworks (e.g., brand lift studies, media delivery tracking) as a complement to, not a replacement for, direct-response attribution.
- Creative thinker who pushes agencies and internal teams to test new offline channels, formats, and dynamic/real-time creative rather than defaulting to standard placements.
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity, especially around real-time, in-season flighting decisions that must react to team performance and demand signals with no clean forecast.
- Comfortable operating with ambiguity and building new programs from the ground up.
- Strong experience leading agency relationships and getting the best work from external partners.
- Excellent cross-functional collaborator who can influence without direct authority.
- Executive-level communicator who can translate complex performance data into clear business recommendations.
