Sports and media portfolio company scaling across multiple markets
Kosmos operates a multi-geography sports and entertainment portfolio built around content, sponsorships, and commercial partnerships. The hiring velocity is accelerating across sales, finance, and marketing roles in Spain, Brazil, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Germany, and Mexico — a geographic expansion pattern matched by active projects in national strategy development and financial integration of new markets. Pain points reveal the operational friction of scaling: compliance complexity across labour jurisdictions, fragmented financial reporting, and manual accounting processes driving both automation and hiring toward finance and operations.
Notable leadership hires: Managing Director, Marketing & Partnerships Director, Commercial Director, Group Accounting Head
