Job description

Redefining NIL. Empowering Athletes. Building the Future of College Sports.

SecondWind is a next-gen, athlete-first sports agency rewriting the rules in the era of NIL, the transfer portal, and House v. NCAA. We’re helping athletes go from overlooked to overpaid—and helping schools adapt to a professionalized, pay-to-play world.

We’ve recently launched a D1 intern program, built out a beta tech product for roster/NIL management, and we’re consulting with universities navigating compensation models that go live July 1, 2025.

Now, we’re searching for a founding Chief Partnerships Officer to join us at the most pivotal moment in college sports history.

Your Mission:

You’ll own revenue strategy and relationship-building across:

Brand partners (NIL deals, campaigns, athlete sponsorships)

Athletic departments & collectives (consulting, roster planning)

Platform partnerships (NIL data, recruiting tech, media orgs)

This role is about vision + velocity—crafting win-win deals that grow our bottom line, build our brand, and deepen our athlete impact.

Why You Should Join:

You’ll work directly with the CEO and have a seat at the table—equity-based, with long-term upside.

You’ll Shape the Strategy

This isn’t just BD—it’s blueprint building. You’ll help write the monetization playbook for a new kind of agency.

Market Timing Is Everything

With schools scrambling to prepare for new rules, collectives in flux, and the transfer market heating up—we’re in position to lead.

You’ll Be Our Closer

Whether it’s brands, schools, or strategic partners—you’ll be the one signing deals, unlocking doors, and making magic happen.

Ideal Background:

• NIL, college athletics, sports tech, or agency experience
• Strong network in brands, schools, or athlete circles
• Proven closer—deals, campaigns, or partnerships
• Comfortable in chaos, energized by early-stage
• Fluent in startup life: equity, sweat, vision, and grit
