Location: Sofia, Bulgaria (onsite, with international travel)
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional marketing role.
You will lead how Endeavor Bulgaria shows up – aligned with Endeavor’s global brand and communications standards – across Bulgaria and our expanding footprint in Southeast Europe. You’ll translate global direction into strong local and regional messaging, and stay hands-on across content, campaigns and events, PR, and high-quality brand assets (visuals, decks, materials).
As we scale our regional presence, you will translate big moments and founder stories into clear narratives and consistent communications – working closely with local partners and Endeavor’s global network.
We’re looking for someone who can think strategically and execute independently, while also being a true team player – collaborating closely with program managers to deliver what each program needs, working confidently with visuals and presentations, and building strong, long-term media partnerships across the region.
