Marketing Director in London

About the Professional Triathletes Organisation: The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO) is not your typical sports organisation. It is a global, athlete‑led business on a mission to grow and elevate the sport of triathlon. In a short space of time, the PTO has launched the T100 Triathlon World Tour, bringing the world’s top‑ranked athletes to major cities and opening up participation to a wider global audience. As the organisation moves into its next phase, the focus is on scaling that growth, building a global fanbase, and shaping triathlon into a leading sports and entertainment property. This is an opportunity to join a team building something from the ground up, where pace is high, expectations are clear, and impact is visible.

The Impact You’ll Make: The PTO is looking for a Marketing Director to lead and deliver its marketing strategy across the PTO/Triathlon World Tour.

• Oversee the delivery of event‑specific marketing campaigns in partnership with Event Marketing Managers.
• Use data and insights to continuously optimise campaign performance.
• Lead and develop a high‑performing marketing team, providing clear direction, structure, and accountability.

Your Skills and Experience:

• Experience in senior marketing roles with a focus on driving measurable growth and revenue.

• Experience across email marketing and customer engagement strategies.
