Head of Sports and TV Partnerships

Sinclair Ventures is seeking an experienced private capital executive to build and lead its Capital Partnerships function. The role will develop and manage a durable network of family offices and institutional allocators capable of investing alongside Sinclair in selected lower- and middle-market private equity transactions.

Sinclair invests permanent capital and maintains full discretion over when and where it invests. Accordingly, the Capital Partnerships function is designed to support attractive Sinclair-led opportunities - not to create pressure to deploy capital. The successful candidate will combine senior allocator relationships, strong private equity fluency, and the ability to execute co-investment processes quickly, credibly, and with a long-term relationship orientation.

Deep, senior-level relationships with family office principals, CIOs, and private capital allocators, supported by a demonstrable record of converting relationships into repeat investment commitments.

• Meaningful experience personally originating and closing third-party private capital, with clear attribution to commitments raised, investor relationships, and repeat participation.
• Success is defined by the quality and durability of the partner base, not simply aggregate dollars raised.
• Private equity fluency: Strong command of underwriting, capital structures, downside cases, co-investment economics, governance rights, allocations, vehicle structures, data rooms, and closing logistics.
• Able to translate Sinclair's investment strategy and transaction-specific underwriting into clear, compelling materials and conversations for sophisticated family offices and investment committees.

Capital Partnerships Strategy

• Design and execute Sinclair Ventures' co-investment capital program, including target investor universe, coverage model, allocation framework, standard terms, and partner segmentation.
• support transactions that meet Sinclair's return and risk parameters rather than create pressure to deploy capital.

Partner with the investment team during diligence to shape each co-investment offering, including sizing, structure, economics, target partners, and timing.

• Lead each syndication process from initial outreach through signed commitments and funding, coordinating materials, data room access, diligence questions, allocations, documentation, and closing logistics.
• Serve as the primary ongoing relationship lead for capital partners, coordinating reporting, valuations, distributions, capital calls, and periodic portfolio updates on an institutional-quality cadence.
• Own Sinclair Ventures' capital-partner narrative and external materials, ensuring that messaging accurately reflects the firm's patient-capital strategy, underwriting discipline, and meaningful sponsor capital commitment.
• Represent Sinclair Ventures with family offices and allocators through targeted meetings, relevant industry forums, and Sinclair-hosted partner events.
• Internal Partnership & Firm Building
• Work closely with Sinclair's CEO, Executive Vice Chairman, Managing Director, investment team, finance, legal, and tax functions on capital planning and transaction execution.
• Establish institutional-quality processes, systems, and reporting for investor coverage, commitments, allocations, and partner communications.
• Help build a long-term capital partnerships capability that enhances Sinclair's flexibility, transaction capacity, and ability to support larger or more complex opportunities.

10+ years of experience in capital formation, private capital coverage, placement, investor relations, or a comparable role within private equity, investment banking, or an institutional investment platform.

• Deep, referenceable relationships with family office principals, CIOs, and private market allocators, with an attributable record of third-party capital closed and repeat participation.
• Strong command of private equity underwriting, transaction structures, co-investment economics, governance terms, and special-purpose or aggregator vehicles.
• Willingness to travel extensively for investor coverage and relationship development.
• Bachelor's degree required; The base salary range for this role is $275,000 to $400,000, plus eligibility for a performance-based annual incentive and long-term incentives. Performance will reflect successful capital formation, transaction execution, partner retention, repeat participation, and the development of a durable co-investment network - not simply aggregate dollars raised.
