You'll be commercially minded, confident negotiating high-value agreements and comfortable managing relationships with senior stakeholders.

Experience working with major consumer brands, luxury, lifestyle, entertainment or sports would be particularly valuable, particularly if you have existing relationships within professional sport.

Above all, you'll have the ambition to build and lead a growing department, combining strategic leadership with a hands-on approach to commercial growth.
