RAJASTHAN ROYALS
Partnerships Manager
Mumbai | Partnerships & Sponsorships
ABOUT THE ROLE
Rajasthan Royals is looking for a sharp, well-networked Partnerships Manager to manage the commercial interests of our players.
You'll work closely with the RR Partnerships & Sponsorships team to align player-level deals with the franchise's broader commercial direction. As we grow, so will your portfolio — more players, more mandates, more action.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Own the end-to-end commercial representation of player/s across the RR roster — from identifying brand fits to closing sponsorship deals
Build and manage a pipeline of brand partnerships, endorsements, and ambassador opportunities
Work hand-in-glove with the RR Partnerships team to ensure player deals align with franchise interests and brand guidelines
Negotiate contracts, manage deal timelines, and ensure delivery on brand commitments
Scout and evaluate new opportunities — be it media, digital, lifestyle, or on-ground activations
Act as the primary point of contact between players, brands, and the RR ecosystem
Track market trends in sports sponsorship and position players for maximum commercial value
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
5+ years of experience in sports sponsorships, talent management, or sports marketing
Strong existing network across brands, agencies, and the sports ecosystem in India
Experience managing athlete or talent commercial deals end-to-end
Deep understanding of the IPL landscape and how player brands are built and monetised
Sharp negotiation skills with an eye for win-win deal structures
Self-starter who can operate independently while staying closely aligned with a team
Excellent communication and relationship management — you're the face your clients trust
Prior exposure to player representation or sports agency work is a strong plus
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Player brand portfolios are active, growing, and well-curated
Brand partnerships are structured, on-time, and delivered with zero friction
RR Partnerships team sees you as an extension of the internal team, not an external vendor
Pipeline for the next 12 months is always mapped and ready
