Corporate Development Leader - Live Entertainment
Nova Sky Stories
About this role:
Nova Sky Stories is seeking a Corporate Development Leader in the live entertainment industry to work alongside our executive leadership team on the opportunities shaping the company’s next phase of global growth.
This role will help Nova identify, evaluate, and execute opportunities across M&A, strategic investments, partnerships, new markets, and new business models. You’ll bring the analytical rigor to determine where opportunities make sense and the drive to help move the right ones from idea through execution.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a background in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or strategic finance who wants to move beyond analysis and play an active role in building and scaling a global business.
Working closely with Nova’s executive leadership team and across finance, commercial, legal, operations, and creative, you’ll have exposure to a wide range of high-priority initiatives. The work will vary significantly based on where the business sees opportunity, so we’re looking for someone equally comfortable building a financial model, evaluating an acquisition target, researching a new market, developing an executive recommendation, or helping structure a strategic partnership.
You’ll be part of a high-impact team where priorities move quickly, opportunities are global, and the scope of the role will evolve alongside the business.
As a Corporate Developer Leader, you’ll be responsible for:
- Identify, evaluate, and execute corporate development opportunities, including M&A, strategic investments, partnerships, new markets, and other growth initiatives.
- Partner closely with executive leadership on high-priority business initiatives, bringing analytical rigor and a company-wide perspective to strategic decisions.
- Maintain an enterprise-wide view of key initiatives, helping leadership evaluate priorities, tradeoffs, dependencies, and organizational capacity as new opportunities emerge.
- Build financial models, valuations, business cases, and market analyses to assess opportunities and inform executive-level decisions.
- Lead corporate development initiatives from initial evaluation through due diligence, financial analysis, deal structuring, negotiation, and integration planning.
- Develop executive-level materials and support strategic communications with key external stakeholders, ensuring Nova’s growth plans, business performance, and opportunities are clearly and effectively articulated.
- Drive cross-functional initiatives across finance, legal, commercial, operations, creative, and other teams to move high-priority opportunities from evaluation through execution.
- Monitor industry trends, competitive activity, new markets, and emerging opportunities that could shape Nova’s continued global growth.
You’ll need to have:
- 5+ years of experience in corporate development, investment banking, private equity, management consulting, transaction advisory, strategic finance, or a related field.
- Strong financial modeling, valuation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience evaluating businesses, markets, investments, transactions, or other complex growth opportunities.
- Strong business judgment and the ability to evaluate opportunities from both a financial and strategic perspective.
- Ability to synthesize complex information and develop clear, concise recommendations for senior and executive audiences.
- Strong communication and presentation skills with the confidence to work directly with executive leadership and external partners.
- Ability to independently drive workstreams while collaborating effectively across functions.
- A highly proactive and entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to move comfortably between analysis and hands-on execution.
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities and opportunities evolve quickly.
- Willingness and ability to travel domestically and internationally, up to 50%.
It’s a plus if you have:
- Experience working in a high-growth, global, technology-driven, or otherwise complex global business environment.
- Direct experience supporting or executing M&A transactions, strategic investments, or other corporate development transactions.
- Experience with due diligence, valuation, deal structuring, transaction execution, or post-transaction integration.
- Exposure to international transactions, market entry, or global expansion.
- Passion for emerging technology, innovation, and creating unforgettable audience experiences.
- MBA or advanced business degree.

About this role:
We are seeking a rare kind of operator — a VP, Global Brand Partnerships to architect and own Nova Sky Stories’ global brand revenue engine.
This role sits at the center of how Nova scales — transforming our drone light shows into one of the most premium, in-demand brand storytelling platforms in the world. You won’t just grow sponsorship revenue; you’ll redefine what brand partnerships look like in experiential media.
You will design and build Nova’s global sponsorship ecosystem from the ground up — defining the commercial model, creating scalable systems, and unlocking repeatable revenue across markets. At the same time, you’ll personally lead and close our most strategic, high-impact partnerships with global brands and agencies.
This is not a traditional sales leadership role. It’s a builder role.
You’ll operate as a strategic counterpart to the CEO and CFO on marquee deals, while constructing the infrastructure, team, and playbooks that enable exponential growth across every tier of the business.
As a VP, Global Brand Partnerships, you’ll be responsible for:
Define Nova’s Role in Culture
- Identify the cultural moments, properties, and environments where Nova becomes a defining presence — from global sporting events and music festivals to fashion weeks, marquee city moments, and seasonal spectacles
- Shape where and how Nova shows up across the global cultural landscape, embedding the platform into high-impact experiential moments
- Proactively originate relationships with global brands, agencies, and partners — positioning Nova as a must-have platform before formal deals exist
- Establish the strategic framework for brand participation, including category exclusivity, partnership tiers, and brand standards that protect long-term premium positioning
- Build the narrative, data, and performance storytelling that translates cultural relevance into measurable brand impact
Lead Enterprise & Strategic Partnerships
- Originate, structure, and close Nova’s most strategic global deals — including multi-market, multi-year, and category-defining partnerships
- Partner directly with the CEO and executive team on marquee accounts and high-stakes negotiations
- Own senior relationships with CMOs, agency leadership, and key IP/rights holders
- Structure complex, multi-party agreements across brands, Nova, and external stakeholders
Build Scalable Global Properties
- Define, build, and evolve Nova’s shows into scalable global “properties” with clear positioning, audience, and long-term brand value
- Design the commercial architecture for each property — including sponsorship inventory, rights, integrations, and tiered partnership models
- Ensure each property is differentiated, culturally relevant, and commercially compelling
- Identify and secure long-term partners aligned with both creative vision and revenue strategy
- Partner cross-functionally (creative, production, leadership) to embed monetization into the foundation of every show
- Continuously refine property strategy based on performance, partner feedback, and market opportunity
Establish Commercial Discipline & Scale
- Define pricing strategy, category rules, and deal governance to maintain premium positioning at scale
- Build approval frameworks and guardrails for partnership selection and non-standard deals
- Create the systems that enable consistent, repeatable global revenue growth
Own Activation, Retention & Long-Term Value
- Lead the full partner lifecycle — from activation through renewal — ensuring world-class execution across global shows
- Build measurement and ROI frameworks that clearly demonstrate value to partners and drive long-term retention
- Ensure Nova becomes a core platform within brand storytelling strategies
- Continuously improve partnership performance through data, insights, and creative collaboration
Build the Team & Function
- Build and lead a high-caliber, senior partnerships team, expanding across regions and categories as the business scales
- Design an organization that supports both enterprise deal-making and global sponsorship execution
- Establish a culture of commercial excellence, accountability, and strategic thinking
- Partner closely with creative, production, and executive leadership to align storytelling with monetization
You’ll need to have:
- 12–15+ years of progressive experience in brand partnerships, business development, or commercial leadership — within agencies, brand-side organizations, or properties that have built partnership models from the ground up
- A proven track record of building and scaling multi-market or global revenue streams, ideally across experiential, live entertainment, sports, media, or adjacent industries
- Demonstrated success structuring and closing large-scale, multi-year, multi-market partnerships with global brands, agencies, or enterprise clients
- Deep, senior-level relationships with CMOs, global brand leaders, agency executives, and key decision-makers — with the ability to originate opportunities and accelerate deal cycles
- Experience operating at the intersection of brand, media, IP, and live/experiential environments, including complex, multi-stakeholder ecosystems
- Strong commercial systems thinking — with the ability to design and scale pricing models, sponsorship architecture, deal governance, and revenue operations
- Executive-level commercial acumen, with ownership or significant influence over $10M+ revenue streams, pipelines, or portfolios
- Proven ability to lead through influence across cross-functional teams (creative, production, operations, legal, finance) in high-stakes deal environments
- Experience building and leading high-performing partnerships or commercial teams, ideally across regions or global markets
- Sharp strategic judgment — able to balance long-term platform building with near-term revenue delivery
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, global environment, with frequent travel and senior external engagement
It’s a plus if you bring:
- Experience in experiential media, live entertainment, sports sponsorship, or large-scale touring properties
- A background working with — or within — global brand organizations, holding companies, or leading agency networks
- Exposure to IP-driven partnerships, including film, entertainment franchises, licensed media, or rights-managed properties
- A track record of building new revenue categories or monetizing emerging platforms
What Success Looks Like (Year 1+):
- Establish Nova as a top-tier global experiential sponsorship platform — competing directly with the world’s leading live entertainment properties
- Secure multiple category-defining partnerships with global brands across touring and IP-driven shows
- Build a repeatable, scalable global revenue engine with clear pricing discipline and consistent deal structure
- Drive meaningful growth in sponsorship revenue per show and expand long-term contracted value across the portfolio
- Create a best-in-class activation and measurement system that delivers clear ROI, high partner satisfaction, and strong renewal rates
