Commercial and leadership hires for UK sports businesses.
Cornerwork is a sports recruitment agency for UK businesses. Find the people who grow your revenue, your partnerships and your brand, from your next Partnerships Manager to your next CEO.
Hiring good commercial people in UK sport is hard.
Sports businesses compete with every big tech and consumer company in the UK for the same commercial talent. The best people are usually happy where they are and aren't reading job adverts.
Generalist recruiters send people who've never sold into sport or built a sports brand. You spend your time explaining your market instead of growing it.
You need someone who already knows the people, and knows your world.
