Executive search for sports businesses.
Cornerwork is a sports executive search firm. Hiring a CEO, CCO, CMO or CRO is one of the biggest calls you'll make. We bring you a shortlist of proven leaders from across sport, tech and consumer brands.
The leadership roles we search for
The people who set your direction and grow your revenue.
Chief Executive and Managing Director
The person who leads the business and sets the direction.
Chief Commercial Officer
Revenue, partnerships and new income.
Chief Revenue Officer
Sales, pipeline and predictable growth.
Chief Marketing Officer

Chief Operating Officer

A senior hire is the one you can least afford to get wrong.
The right leader can double your revenue, win the partners you want and give your team direction. The wrong one costs you a year.
The best leaders in sport are rarely job hunting. They're doing well somewhere else, so an advert won't reach them. You need someone who knows who they are and can approach them quietly.
That is what we do for you.
