At Fanatics, we bring our BOLD Leadership Principles to life every day—building championship teams, obsessing over fans, acting with limitless entrepreneurial spirit, and delivering with a determined and relentless mindset.
As we continue to scale our global platform, the VP, Growth & Marketing Technology Engineering will play a critical role in unifying customer acquisition, lifecycle engagement, and data-platform engineering into a single revenue-driving organization.
ROLE OVERVIEW
This is a VP-scope engineering leadership role owning three integrated domains: digital marketing and acquisition engineering (including 130+ orchestrated pipelines, paid-media integrations, and emerging GenAI acquisition surfaces), martech and CRM/lifecycle engineering (multi-channel orchestration across email, SMS, and app push powered by Adobe Experience Platform, Journey Optimizer, and XtremePush), and the data, BI, and experimentation platform that both organizations depend on. Reporting to the SVP of Engineering, this leader sets technical direction across all three domains and leads distributed senior engineering teams spanning San Matero, Hyderabad, Brazil, and remote locations. The VP, Growth & Marketing Technology Engineering delivers business and fan impact through BOLD leadership and execution excellence, leveraging data, automation, and AI-enabled insights.
HOW WILL YOU DRIVE IMPACT
Success is measured by the ability to deliver results through BOLD capabilities and measurable outcomes.
Team & Leadership Impact (Build Championship Teams)
Cross-Functional Leadership:
Align marketing, product, data science, finance, and privacy stakeholders around a unified technical direction across acquisition, lifecycle, and data-platform domains, without formal authority over most of them.
Partner with marketing science to stand up the data and activation foundations for incrementality and MMM/MTA measurement, and translate roadmap trade-offs fluently to Finance, the Chief Merchandising Officer, and executive leadership.
Establish a clear operating model with senior engineering leaders so lifecycle and data/BI function as one integrated organization, not two separate teams.
People Leadership:
Lead through senior engineering managers across distributed time zones (San Mateo, Hyderabad, Brazil, and remote), operating as a deliberate manager-of-managers who designs org structures and reporting lines intentionally.
Hire, develop, and retain senior engineering leaders — with a demonstrated track record of growing people into greater scope and keeping them.
Build and sustain a high-performance engineering culture grounded in eviden
