Director of Marketing Lead marketing for Padel39 and fuel our growth, running acquisition hands-on and building the team as we scale. About Padel39 Padel39 is on a mission to make padel a mainstream American sport, and to be the brand that leads it. Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, and we are building the premium, community-first clubs that bring it to life. Our clubs are more than courts. They are social hubs with hospitality, fitness, and coffee built in, where players come to compete, connect, and belong. We are growing fast and building something category-defining, and we want people who are here to help build a sport, not just fill a job. About the Role We are hiring a hands-on, growth-first Director of Marketing to lead the function and fuel our growth.
