Job Purpose:

Sponsorship is a vital pillar of the Delhi Capitals ecosystem — not just as a revenue driver, but as a strategic enabler of brand partnerships, fan engagement, and long-term franchise value. The Head of Sponsorship will be responsible for leading the end-to-end sponsorship function — from identifying and signing marquee partners, to ensuring flawless delivery and renewal. This role demands a blend of commercial acumen, relationship management, and executional excellence. It sits at the intersection of sales, brand strategy, and match-day experience — ensuring that every sponsor touchpoint adds value to both the brand and the fan. The Head of Sponsorship will play a critical role in shaping the commercial growth story of the franchise, delivering year-on-year revenue performance while building long-term strategic alliances that elevate the Delhi Capitals brand on and off the field.

Experience:

10–15 years of experience in sponsorship sales or brand partnerships, ideally within sports, media, or entertainment sectors, with a proven track record of closing high-value, multi-brand deals.

• Deep understanding of the Indian sponsorship landscape, with experience managing end-to-end partner lifecycle — from asset packaging and pitching to delivery, activation, and renewal.
• Prior experience working with sports leagues, franchises, or live events (e.g. IPL/WPL, ISL, PKL, global clubs, or media rights holders) is strongly preferred.
