This is an exciting opportunity to lead a dynamic partnerships team within a company at the forefront of the sports industry.
The Role
Our client is seeking a proven leader with a deep understanding of the sports sector, particularly within partnerships and commercial strategy. This role will oversee the partnerships function, driving commercial growth while maintaining a hands-on approach to business development and client engagement.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and developing the partnerships team to drive commercial success.
- Building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders across sport and business.
- Identifying and securing new partnership opportunities.
- Developing strategic plans to enhance brand presence and commercial performance.
- Ensuring all partnerships align with the company’s long-term vision.
The Candidate
The ideal candidate will bring a strong track record in partnerships or commercial leadership within sport. While this is a senior role with a team to manage, we are looking for someone who is still actively involved in deal-making and relationship-building—someone who thrives on driving business forward, not just overseeing others.
Key Requirements:
- Significant experience in sports partnerships or commercial roles.
- A demonstrable track record of securing and managing high-value partnerships.
- Strong leadership skills with the ability to inspire and develop a high-performing team.
- A strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to driving revenue growth.
- An extensive network within the sports industry.
This is a rare opportunity to take on a leadership role in an ambitious and fast-moving organisation that is shaping the future of sports partnerships and would have fantastic long-term prospects attached to it.
