Corporate Partnerships Manager

About Padel39 Padel39 is on a mission to make padel a mainstream American sport, and to be the brand that leads it. Padel is the fastest-growing sport in the world, and we are building the premium, community-first clubs that bring it to life. Our clubs are more than courts. They are social hubs with hospitality, fitness, and coffee built in, where players come to compete, connect, and belong. We are growing fast and building something category-defining, and we want people who are here to help build a sport, not just fill a job. About the Role This is the seat that goes out and sells Padel39. You will build and close three revenue lines: brand sponsorships of our clubs and programming, corporate accounts that bring their teams and clients to us, and strategic partnerships that put our name where our future members already are. You will carry a number, own your pipeline end to end, and be the face of Padel39 in the market. This role is external by design. You are out of the office, in front of people, building the relationships that grow a brand.

Build the corporate partnerships playbook so it repeats in every market we enter. Establish partner relationships in new markets ahead of club openings. Represent Padel39 across the Austin and Dallas business communities, at industry events, and in local business organizations. Deliver Hand off closed business cleanly to our events and operations teams, and stay accountable through execution. Own sponsor and partner renewals, and grow accounts year over year. Report on partnership performance and deliver what was sold. What We're Looking For Three or more years in sponsorship, partnerships, sales, or business development with a number you carried and hit.
