Sports Marketing Specialist

Make JACKS.nl a credible, recognisable presence in Dutch sports betting by owning the Dutch sports marketing calendar and leading hands-on execution across social and content, with a strong focus on football. This is a sports ‑ focused role: key matches and moments for Dutch fans often happen in the evenings and at weekends, so you’ll be expected to flex your schedule to plan and publish timely, compliant content around priority fixtures, with your working hours adjusted accordingly. Key responsibilities: Develop and own Dutch sports and football marketing calendar, mapping key fixtures, tournaments, and cultural moments to campaign opportunities. Ideate, plan, and execute sports ‑ led marketing campaigns from concept to go ‑ live, ensuring they are relevant for Dutch football fans and aligned with brand, product, and regulatory requirements. Collaborate with the Sportsbook team to translate key matches and promotions into compelling customer propositions and clear marketing stories. Brief and work closely with wider marketing team on campaign roll ‑ outs (e.g. email, push, paid social), contributing to channel strategy. Own day ‑ to ‑ day execution on core channels for the Dutch sports audience (primarily organic social and content), including planning, briefs, posting, and reactive content around weekend action. Be the “brains” behind sports content: brief content and design with clear, insight ‑ driven concepts, formats, and narratives that resonate with Dutch sports bettors and fans. Build and nurture an engaged Dutch sports community across social platforms, engaging in conversations, and running social ‑ first initiatives. Build JACKS.nl into a brand Dutch sports fans recognise and trust, through consistent sports-led storytelling, clear content pillars, and always-on sports narratives. Monitor social and cultural trends in Dutch football and sports betting, and turn them into timely content and campaign ideas that feel native to the community. Work cross ‑ functionally with Compliance and Legal to ensure all campaigns and content meet Dutch regulatory and responsible gambling requirements, including correct messaging and tone. Produce clear post ‑ campaign and ongoing reports for your own initiatives, linking them to broader business outcomes where possible.

Proven marketing experience, ideally 1–5 years, with a focus on content, social media, or community management roles. Demonstrated ability to take a campaign from insight/idea through to execution, coordinating with designers, writers, and other specialists rather than only “handing off” concepts.
