• GAMING

  • Grow Red Bull's presence and relevance in gaming, one of the most important territories to connect with young consumers in México.

  • Attract external brands, media partners and sponsors into Red Bull platforms, athletes and events, bringing in co-investment and shared budgets that extend what we can build beyond our own resources.

  • Know the scene deeply enough to be trusted by it, understanding who moves culture, how deals get done and where competition is already positioned.

  • Back fewer, bigger partnerships executed with excellence, and walk away from anything that does not clearly drive brand and business growth.

• BRANDING & CONTENT

  • Unlock the full storytelling potential of every athlete, event and gaming moment alongside Media Network, Communications, Partnerships and Field Marketing — making sure the best stories travel, not just get made.

  • Design and contribute unique stories, topics and formats for Red Bull Media House, and identify sports narratives that can be amplified across owned, earned, shared and paid channels.

  • Lead, coach and manage direct reports to deliver annual national goals, fostering accountability, ownership and a high-performance mindset — with clarity on priorities as the main driver of speed.
