Vice President, Sales - Financial Services, Fintech, Travel

**About Motorsport Network** Motorsport Network is a global, always-on media, technology and events platform uniquely positioned at the intersection of motorsport, automotive, and mobility. Reaching over 40 million fans across 25+ markets, the company operates some of the world’s most authoritative brands including Motorsport.com, Autosport, Motor1, Ride Apart, and InsideEVs, delivering live awards and event experiences, premium content, branded content, video, and podcasts that span racing, performance automotive, electric vehicles, and the future of mobility. Backed by GMF Capital and with a growing global footprint, Motorsport Network is trusted by the world’s leading brands across automotive, financial services, gaming, technology, and beyond as a strategic commercial partner. This is not a traditional media company. It is the only platform that authentically bridges the endemic motorsport audience, a uniquely affluent, tech-forward, engaged, and brand-loyal consumer base with the broader advertiser marketplace. **The Opportunity** As VP, Head of Industry, you will own Motorsport Network’s commercial relationships across three high-growth verticals: Financial Services, FinTech and Travel. This is an IC role.

The motorsport audience is one of the most commercially valuable in media. Demographically skewed toward high-income, brand-engaged consumers with strong affinity for financial products, technology, and sports betting, this audience represents an extraordinary opportunity for brands across all four verticals and one that remains significantly under monetized.

You will be the face of Motorsport Network to C-suite and VP-level marketing decision-makers, brand managers, and agency partners across your sectors. You will contribute to and help shape how the company goes to market, influence product and content strategy through client intelligence, and establish Motorsport Network as the indispensable partner for any financial services, FinTech or travel brand seeking authentic access to this audience. The best candidate for this role is someone who has lived inside these industries and fluently understands the regulatory landscape, the compliance constraints, the media buying dynamics, and the creative possibilities. This role is for someone energized by the challenge of translating that knowledge into commercially transformative outcomes within a premium sports, entertainment and media environment. **Key Responsibilities** **Sector Ownership & Revenue Leadership** - Own and deliver annual revenue targets across all three verticals, with accountability to the Global CCO - Define the go-to-market strategy for each sector, including priority accounts, deal structures, and pricing frameworks - Build and maintain a high-quality pipeline with accurate forecasting and senior visibility into deal progression **Senior Client & Agency Relationships** - Serve as the primary executive relationship holder for key brand and agency partners across Financial Services, FinTech, and Travel - Operate at C-suite and VP level with clients, functioning as a trusted strategic advisor rather than a transactional seller - Navigate complex agency ecosystems including holding companies, media agencies, and sector-specialist shops, to influence both planning and buying decisions **Integrated Partnership Development** - Originate, structure, and close multi-platform, multi-year partnerships spanning digital media, branded content, sponsorship, video, social, and experiential - Work with editorial, creative, and product teams to develop bespoke solutions that deliver measurable client outcomes - Champion cl…
