About SAMY

We weren't built to follow, we were built to lead.

SAMY is the global powerhouse redefining brand communication for a social-first world—helping brands stay relevant, shape culture, and build real connections at the speed the world moves.

Since 2013, we've grown from a bold idea into a global force: 1,200+ experts, 17+ offices, 55 markets, 18+ countries. We launch 40+ campaigns a week, create one piece of content every minute, and generate +$500K in revenue every day.

We are Path Finders: curious, ambitious, and never afraid to challenge what's next.

We don't play it safe. We build what's next.

Role Mission

We're looking for an experienced Account Director to join our growing North American team and lead influencer marketing campaigns for one of the world's fastest-growing sports-betting platforms.

You'll be responsible for developing and managing creator campaigns that engage passionate sports communities, working with creators, analysts, and personalities across major sporting events and leagues. This is a key client-facing role, offering the opportunity to shape campaign strategy, build long-term partnerships, and help grow one of the most exciting accounts in the business.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy building trusted client relationships, and know how to translate business objectives into impactful creator campaigns, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as the strategic lead for sports-focused client accounts, building trusted relationships and providing proactive recommendations that drive long-term success.

  • Own influencer marketing campaigns from strategy and planning through execution, optimisation, and reporting, ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget.

  • Develop creative campaign strategies, identifying the right athletes, creators, sports personalities, and content formats to achieve client objectives.

  • Collaborate closely with internal teams to ensure seamless campaign delivery while identifying opportunities to grow existing client partnerships and expand accounts.

  • Stay up to date with trends across sport, fitness, and creator culture, bringing fresh ideas and strategic insight to every campaign.

Skills & Experience

  • Previous experience in influencer marketing, account management, client services, or sports marketing.

  • Proven experience managing end-to-end influencer or creator campaigns.

  • Strong understanding of the sports landscape and digital creator ecosystem.

  • Experience working with sports creators, publishers, athletes, or sports-focused communities is highly desirable.

  • Interest in sports, prediction markets, Web3, crypto, or adjacent industries is a strong plus.

  • Strong strategic thinking—you don't just execute campaigns, you help shape them.

  • Excellent project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.

Benefits:

  • Flexible schedule and hybrid work options that help you balance your time and work in a way that fits your life.

  • A global mobility plan that lets you move across SAMY, unlock new markets, and turn your next career step into a real adventure.

  • A transparent, performance-driven compensation framework, designed to reward impact, support growth, and ensure fairness at every stage of your career.

The SAMY Mindset
Forget the job description for a second. The real question is: are you a Path Finder? Bold enough to challenge what's possible. Collaborative enough to build it together. Driven enough to make it happen.
We don't just hire for roles, we hire for mindset. We look for people who communicate with honesty, collaborate without ego, embrace change with energy, and take real ownership of what they build.
We're not looking for people who think the same, we're looking for people who help us grow. Here's what it actually looks like to belong here:
Be Kind — because respect, trust, and honest feedback make great teams stronger.
Go Beyond — because good is never enough when excellence is the standard.
Craft Together — because the best ideas don't happen in silos.
Enjoy the Journey — because growth lives outside the comfort zone.
Own It — because real impact starts with accountability.
SAMY is its people. Always has been, always will be.
If this feels like your kind of adventure, let's build something together.

Diversity & Inclusion
At SAMY, difference is not something we accommodate, it's what makes us stronger.
Different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences challenge our thinking, sharpen our creativity, and push us to build better work, and a better company.
We are committed to creating an inclusive, accessible, and barrier-free environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to thrive. And if you need support or adjustments along the way, we'll make sure you have what you need to do your best work.
