Vice President, Business Development

Learfield is the leading media, data, and technology company in college athletics, representing more than 140 university athletic programs and supporting more than 12,000 brand partnerships nationwide. EDGE is our media solutions business, powered by the largest first-party data asset in college sports, with more than 130 million U.S. consumers and 16B+ data points.

We are seeking a Vice President of Business Development to own our sales growth and build a scalable revenue engine across two primary solutions: EDGE Max our full-service media relationships with mid-tier brands, spanning digital media strategy, planning, activation, creative, and measurement and EDGE College Sports Connect, a managed audience solution enabling agencies and brands to activate our proprietary college sports fan audiences across programmatic video, display, CTV, and other digital channels.

This is a hand-on sales and growth leadership role responsible for turning Learfield’s broader ecosystem into a meaningful, two-way revenue growth channel, working with our local sports properties teams to identify media opportunities within their existing sponsor base while bringing EDGE relationships back to the properties as potential new sponsorship partners. The successful candidate will personally drive strategic new business while building the team, processes, and sales discipline required to scale.
