What We're Looking For

• 3+ years experience in influencer marketing, affiliate management, or partnership roles — preferably in sports betting, gaming, fintech, or entertainment.
• A strong network and knowledge of influencers, communities, and affiliate networks across Nigeria (and ideally, broader Africa).
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills — you’re confident pitching and closing.
• Analytical mindset with experience using campaign performance tools and affiliate dashboards.
• Strong understanding of sports culture (especially football) and youth-driven platforms like TikTok and Twitter.
Organized, resourceful, and able to manage multiple campaigns at once with precision and personality.

What You’ll Get

• The opportunity to shape a high-impact growth channel for a bold, culture-first betting brand.
