Executive search for sport.
Built by operators.
The executive search and talent advisory practice of Global Sports, we help organisations find, appoint and develop the people who make the difference.​​
Organisations Global Sports Talent has supported:
GLOBAL SPORTS TALENT
Sports Industry Talent Specialists
Global Sports Talent understands what is at stake in people and talent decisions because we have lived the realities of sport ourselves, at leadership level. The stakes in sport are too high for these decisions to be guided by theory alone. That is why we bring empathy, clarity and real-world perspective to help organisations make confident decisions, build stronger teams and create lasting performance through people.
Every search is powered by the Global Sports intelligence Engine (GSiE), combining data, reach and operator experience from more than 25 years at the heart of the global sports careers market to deliver with speed, precision and confidence.

WHY GLOBAL SPORTS TALENT
We are not a typical search firm
Most search firms understand recruitment. We understand recruitment and the sports industry. There is a significant difference. Our team has lived the realities of senior leadership in sport, which means we understand the pressures, the culture, the soft skill requirement and what genuinely good looks like. We take on fewer mandates than most, and that is a deliberate choice.
Our talent solutions are built around three distinct areas where we have unrivalled experience and expertise and make us the right partner for you.
We have been at your seat
​
The team have held senior leadership roles inside DAZN, Perform and Superbet, Elevate and Global Sports. We understand the commercial pressure, stakeholder dynamics and performance culture behind the roles we recruit for, which changes the quality of the brief, the candidates we engage, and the outcomes we deliver.​​
25 years of relationships, and the world's largest talent database
​
Global Sports reaches over one million professionals across sport and media. But it's the depth that matters, senior leaders who require a trusted conversation and a compelling reason to move. We have spent 25 years building relationships with leaders not just for today, but also the leaders of tomorrow. Most search firms have not.
A trusted long-term partner, not a transactional supplier
​
We work with a select number of commercial and leadership clients at any one time. That choice allows us to go deep, understand your organisation properly, and be genuinely useful over time rather than disappearing once a placement is made.
