Purpose

As part of our ambition to become the country’s Most Inclusive Sport by 2028, we are seeking a dynamic and visionary Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) to join our Executive Leadership Group.

WHO WE ARE

The England and Wales Cricket Board is the national governing body for all cricket in England and Wales, supporting the game at every level – from grassroots to professional.

We believe cricket is a force for good that can have an enduring impact on everyone’s lives and we have an ambitious strategy to inspire a generation to say ‘cricket is a game for me’. It provides great entertainment. It teaches important skills, both physical and social.  It can help inclusion and social cohesion, bringing communities together.

The ECB welcomes applications from all backgrounds to ensure we deliver our Inspiring Generations strategy and fulfil our purpose to connect communities and improve lives through cricket.

The Role

Reporting directly to the CEO, the CRO will lead and shape the ECB’s commercial and revenue strategy. You’ll be responsible for maximising both short- and long-term revenue generation to support our reinvestment in cricket at every level.

Working closely with the CFO, you will drive negotiations and management of key partnerships including broadcast rights, media deals, and commercial sponsorships—ensuring we grow the game's reach, relevance, and financial sustainability.

You will also lead ECB's marketing functions across competitions and events, champion innovation, and identify new and creative commercial opportunities that reflect the evolving world of sport and entertainment.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for an inspiring leader with proven experience in:

• Negotiating high-value media and commercial agreements

• Developing and delivering ambitious commercial strategies

• Leading diverse, high-performing teams

• Innovating across marketing and revenue streams in a fast-paced environment

• A strong understanding of the sports, entertainment, or media sectors is highly desirable.

  OUR VALUES

• Run on respect. We ensure our game is based on fairness, respect and decency. 

• Embrace enjoyment. We make sure everyone finds fun in the game. 

• Build belonging. We actively include so everyone can find a place in the game. 

• Progress with purpose. We stay open to change to keep the game moving forward. 

Why Join Us?

At ECB, you’ll be part of an inclusive and forward-thinking organisation where your ideas, energy, and leadership will make a real impact on the future of cricket in England and Wales.
