About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Own Chess.com's competitive event ecosystem — from marquee online properties like the Speed Chess Championship to Titled Tuesday to our broadcast coverage of major events like the World Chess Championship.
- Help set the annual calendar, the quality bar, and the strategic direction for the full portfolio.
- Run our broadcast operation with the precision and production quality of a top-tier sports network.
- Oversee the competitive programming strategy: which events do we own and produce? Which do we cover and broadcast? Where do we invest in new formats? How do we grow the audience for competitive chess online?
- Manage a selective portfolio of in-person events. These are high-impact, not high-volume — a handful of tentpole moments per year that extend our brand into the physical world.
- Own the commercial strategy for our events, and drive brand partnerships across Chess.com's broader product portfolio.
Requirements
What you’ll need- 10+ years of experience in events, sports media, esports, competitive gaming, or digital entertainment with progressive leadership responsibility, including P&L ownership and revenue accountability.
- Demonstrated experience as a leader of leaders. You have managed Directors, VPs, and senior individual contributors, and you've built teams that outperform when you're not in the room.
- Proven track record in online competitive programming, esports, or digital-first event production at scale.
- Experience running or overseeing broadcast operations: producing shows, managing production teams, maintaining quality standards across a high-volume schedule.
- Experience building and closing commercial deals that combine events, content, and brand integration.
- Deep expertise in digital advertising and direct sales to large brands.
- A track record of commercial innovation, you've created new revenue streams, not just optimized existing ones.
- Strategic fluency in the economics of events: you can model the ROI of competitive programming investments, articulate the defensive value of owning key properties, and build a business case that connects spend to revenue.
- Deep relationships across the sports, entertainment, and brand marketing ecosystem. You know brand CMOs, media buyers, and sports property executives — and they take your call.
