B2B Partnerships Director - Sport / Luxury
London | Hybrid
We’re partnering with a new, globally backed international sports business who are looking for a B2B Partnerships Director.
This is a highly-funded, organisation building a global events calendar from the ground up. The business is focused on premium experiences, modern storytelling and long-term partnerships.
The Role
You will lead the acquisition of founder and global partners, selling high-value, multi-year partnerships to organisations looking to engage an ultra-high-net-worth international audience through sport, content and live experiences.
This is not a role for someone building a network from scratch. A strong, active book of client-direct relationships is essential – e.g. Tech, Finance etc.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Partnerships are bespoke and creatively led, supported by embedded creative strategy – not pre-packaged inventory. You will initially operate as an individual contributor, with a clear path to building and leading a team as the organisation scales.
Experience working in UHNW environments is advantageous.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
- Personally originating and closing high-value, global sponsorship partnerships
- Leveraging an established network of direct brand and client-side decision-makers to open doors quickly
- Working closely with creative strategists to shape innovative, executable propositions
- Operating confidently in a founder-stage environment with evolving structure and process
- Playing a key role in shaping the long-term commercial model of the organisation

The Profile We’re Looking For
- Proven track record selling seven-figure sponsorship or partnership deals
- Established, client-direct relationships at senior decision-maker level (non-negotiable)
- Comfortable selling vision, access and future value – not just inventory
- Experience within sport, live events, media or premium experiential environments
Hybrid working: This role requires a minimum of 3-days per week in their new Mayfair offices.
Compensation: They have a competitive base salary + 40% commission allocated for this hire.
If you have a relevant profile for this role, we will be in touch within 5 working days. Our client is not able to offer sponsorship, so you will need right to work in the UK.
