Are you passionate about rugby and skilled in building commercial partnerships?

We are seeking a Commercial Partner to work us in driving sponsorship and partnership opportunities that will directly support our representative teams and wider rugby activities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious and motivated individual (or agency) who wants to make a tangible impact on the development of rugby across our County.

The Role

• Manage and nurture relationships to ensure long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships.
• Play a key role in supporting the growth of rugby across our community, from grassroots to representative level.

What We Offer

• A commission-based structure – the more partnerships you bring in, the more you earn.
• A chance to work with a respected sports organisation, with strong community ties and a clear development pathway.
• The opportunity to create lasting impact for local rugby while building your own portfolio of success.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in sales, sponsorship, or commercial development.
• Strong communication and networking skills.
• A proactive, self-starter attitude with the ability to spot opportunities.
• A genuine enthusiasm for rugby and community sport.

If you’re ready to combine your commercial expertise with your passion for rugby, we’d love to hear from you.
