About the Vegas Thrill

Vegas Thrill is Las Vegas and Henderson's professional women's volleyball team competing in Major League Volleyball. The organization is entering a new era under local ownership and will return to Lee's Family Forum for the January 2027 season. Our goal is to build a high-energy, community-connected organization that grows women's professional sports and creates an exceptional experience for fans, partners, players, and employees.

Position Summary

The Marketing Manager helps execute the Vegas Thrill's overall marketing strategy and ensures campaigns, promotions, events, content, and organizational initiatives are completed accurately, professionally, and on schedule. This is a hands-on execution position working closely with the Owner, Team President, fellow Marketing Manager, internal business staff, and R&R Partners. The organization's direction and major campaign strategy will be developed collaboratively by ownership, team leadership, and R&R; the Marketing Manager will translate that direction into organized action and measurable results.

Two Complementary Marketing Hires

Vegas Thrill plans to hire two Marketing Managers under this shared job description. We intend to select candidates with complementary strengths: one leaning toward campaign, brand, creative, and project execution, and the other leaning toward digital marketing, audience growth, database, analytics, and performance. Both will be peers, collaborate across the full marketing plan, and receive primary areas of ownership based on experience and organizational needs.
