SVP, Commercial Strategy

Description

Chess.com — the world's largest chess platform with 250M+ players, a global subscription business, a rapidly growing advertising operation, and the most-watched competitive chess broadcast ecosystem in the world — is hiring an SVP of Commercial Strategy to serve as the strategic and creative engine connecting its entire ecosystem into scalable, integrated revenue. Fully remote and open to candidates in USA, Canada, or EMEA, this senior leader will work directly with the Chief Chess Officer to unify B2B revenue efforts across product, content, advertising, sponsorships, and partnerships; structure and close large integrated deals with global brands across finance, tech, media, and consumer goods; align direct sales and inventory strategy with broader commercial initiatives; and ensure every activation adds value for the community rather than disrupting it. Chess.com is 600+ people across 60+ countries operating with a mission-driven, flat culture that celebrates passion for the game, and this is a genuinely rare role at the intersection of gaming, media, and global brand partnership.
