The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is the national governing body for cricket, overseeing the game at all levels from grassroots to elite.

Working closely with the CFO, you will drive negotiations and management of key partnerships including broadcast rights, media deals, and commercial sponsorships—ensuring we grow the game's reach, relevance, and financial sustainability.

You will also lead ECB's marketing functions across competitions and events, champion innovation, and identify new and creative commercial opportunities that reflect the evolving world of sport and entertainment.

• Negotiating high-value media and commercial agreements
• Developing and delivering ambitious commercial strategies
• Leading diverse, high-performing teams
• Innovating across marketing and revenue streams in a fast-paced environment
• A strong understanding of the sports, entertainment, or media sectors is highly desirable.

Why Join Us?
