The CBO will be responsible for driving the franchise's operations in line with the league's growth plan, with a focus on sponsorship development, social media, and brand-building initiatives. This role demands a commercially-minded leader with a proven track record in growing corporate partnerships and brand market share, particularly in the consumer-facing sports, media, or entertainment business. The successful candidate will be tasked with shaping the company's culture, building and leading a high-performing team, and ensuring the franchise meets its commercial objectives while maximizing community and fan engagement.

Applicants for the CBO position at the company should have at least 10 years' of experience in a relevant field, with a specific emphasis on increasing revenue and generating brand energy. The role requires an individual with excellent interpersonal and leadership skills, a strong background in marketing and digital technology, and the ability to work effectively with multiple stakeholders. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter, energetic, and resilient, with a competitive nature and a proven ability to drive organizational growth. A Bachelor's degree is required, with a preference for a Master's degree or MBA, and connections to the Houston market are a plus. The CBO will be expected to have a community-centric approach, fostering lasting connections between the franchise and its fans, and will be instrumental in the franchise's community engagement efforts.
