About us

High Impact Athletes (HIA) is a nonprofit founded by Olympians. We are the place that sports and athletes go to change the world. This year we will raise USD $10-15 million and believe we are just getting started.

Our flagship programme, Race for Impact (RFI), embeds peer-to-peer fundraising into the HYROX world. Alongside this, our network of 430+ elite athletes across 50 sports have impact through direct giving, fundraising campaigns, and using their influence to make the world a better place.

We may be purpose-led, but achievement still drives us. Our vision is for HIA to become one of the most recognisable names in sport; and for our athletes to build platforms that become the foundation for their future. Nike had Jordan. We want the next global athlete and sport to be a force for positive.

The role





This is an opportunity for the right person to create a movement. A movement grounded in sports, but elevated by human stories. HIA and RFI have the platforms, the people, and the purpose. We need the right person to take ownership over every step of our experience. To build an engine that converts participation and attention into sustained fundraising and enduring brand reputation.

HIA and our Race for Impact program already have significant reach: 430 elite athletes, 50,000 HYROX racers and 150,000 donors are all supporting some of the world’s most effective charities. The opportunity now is to accelerate our growth and scale, to deliver truly momentous impact.

The Head of Marketing will unlock the full potential of mass participation and athlete-led giving by designing and building the lifecycles that turns athletes and fans into donors, racers into fundraisers, fundraisers into donors and advocates, and first-time participants into repeat racers.

In this role you would be accountable for marketing strategy, investment and performance across acquisition, activation, lifecycle and retention. You'll connect our audiences, data, digital experience, content and partnerships into one measurable growth system, and build the team and capabilities required to scale it globally.



Every funnel you fix will move real money, averting deaths from preventable illness, sparing women from violence, delivering mental health treatment, and creating better conditions for vulnerable animals.

What you will own

- End to End growth strategy & performance: marketing budget (over half of org spend next year, in the millions), channel execution, team, agencies, campaign calendar. Time and energy will be split roughly 70% Race for Impact and 30% elite athletes.

- Audience & lifecycle: optimise our current channel strategies and tactics, and drive new ones, to deliver a fully functioning marketing funnel, qualified leads, and sales pipelines.

- The Race for Impact user experience: own the racer and donor journeys, requirements, and conversion performance. Partner with our digital team to bring this to life, and our content team to amplify these experiences.

- HYROX and elite athlete activation: build a global marketing calendar that maximises the fundraising and audience value of the HYROX partnership across 80+ events. Turn HIA's 430+ athlete network into a scalable acquisition, advocacy and fundraising asset.

- Agencies and partners: own agency partnerships, from onboarding to account management, against a clearly defined book of work and outcomes. Current agencies include Two Circles and WRTHY.

- Operating tools and reporting: improve systems (AI should be front and centre) to deliver key results, and optimise the partnership relationship to ensure all assets are owned in HIA domains. Deliver automated reporting on key marketing metrics to leadership and board.
