Champion the adoption of Genius Sports’s advertising capabilities and educate agency partners on how to integrate these capabilities into media plans, trading strategies, and testing frameworks.
Agency‑Focused Customer Success Strategy
Develop the customer success vision and roadmap specifically for global agencies and their operating companies.
Build frameworks that drive consistent product adoption across agency networks, regions, and business units.

Create scalable engagement models that support both enterprise‑level relationships and in‑market media teams.
Lifecycle Management Across Complex Agency Structure
Lead onboarding, implementation, and activation programs tailored to agency workflows and media planning cycles.
Build repeatable success plans that drive campaign performance, operational efficiency, and platform education across hundreds of client accounts throughout the sports calendar.
Ensure frictionless support for complex integrations and campaign challenges.
Cross‑Functional Partnership & Influence
Collaborate with Sales and Agency Partnership teams to build unified strategies for global holding‑company engagement.
Work closely with Product and Engineering to prioritize features that support agency buying patterns, meet reporting and measurement requirements, and advance Genius’s offering.
Partner with Sales and Marketing to develop agency‑focused enablement materials, case studies, and strategic thought leadership.
Work with Operations and Data teams to ensure scalable processes that meet agency service‑level expectations.
