ABOUT MLTT

Major League Table Tennis (MLTT) is building the first modern, team-based professional table tennis league in the United States. Broadcasting nationally on CBS Sports Network with a growing global digital audience, MLTT is reintroducing one of the world's most popular sports to a new generation of American fans through culture, storytelling, and live event experiences.


THE ROLE

We are looking for a Head of Content to own MLTT's content strategy, narrative, and audience growth across all digital platforms.

This is not a content management role. It is a growth and brand-building role.

The right person will define what MLTT stands for in culture, shape how our athletes and stories are told, and directly impact business outcomes: ticket sales, TableTennis.TV subscriptions, and SPINDEX participation.

This role requires a deep understanding of how to win attention in a crowded media landscape and convert that attention into lasting fandom and measurable business outcomes.

This person is a builder. They create direction, not just follow it. They operate at both a strategic and executional level, while scaling output through a team and partners. They thrive with limited resources and build creatively rather than waiting for infrastructure to be handed to them.

Operating Discipline & Reporting

  • Establish and maintain a weekly content performance report
  • Translate performance data into clear insights, decisions, and adjustments

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
