About PadelPark: The Academy Revolution We are PadelPark, the engine behind India's fastest-growing sport. We aren't just building courts; we’re building the future of Indian athletes—from budding young stars to adults looking to master the game—through the McDonald’s Indian Padel Academy and our elite MS Dhoni affiliation. This isn't just a business; it’s a movement to spark a nationwide obsession. The Role: The Academy Pilot We are seeking a seasoned, high-impact leader to step in and own the Academy vertical end-to-end. This is a 360-degree leadership role. You aren't just managing a program; you are owning the Profit & Loss (P&L), driving aggressive expansion, and ensuring our on-court quality remains world-class. You will be the bridge between high-level strategy and daily operational excellence. From signing the next big institutional tie-up to auditing the quality of our coaching staff, the buck stops with you. The Game Plan: Your Leadership Mandate ● P&L & Business Ownership: Take full responsibility for the Academy’s financial health. You will manage budgets, drive revenue growth, and optimize operational costs to ensure the vertical is both high-impact and highly profitable. ● Vertical Expansion: Own the roadmap for growth. You’ll lead the charge in getting the Academy into every major school, college, corporate office, and club across India. ● Operational Excellence: Oversee daily operations across all centers. You’ll streamline workflows to ensure that as we scale, the Academy experience remains seamless. ● Coaching & Quality Control: You are the guardian of our standards. You will oversee the hiring, training, and performance of our coaching staff to ensure every session delivered is worthy of the PadelPark name. ● Brand & Partnership Strategy: Leverage our heavy-hitting affiliations—McDonald’s and MS Dhoni—to build trust and close high-value institutional deals.● Pipeline & Performance: Maintain a rigorous data-driven approach to tracking outreach, enrollment conversion, and retention. Who We’re Looking For: The Strategic General ● The Veteran: You have 8+ years of experience in leadership roles, specifically within sports management, premium education, or large-scale academy operations. ● The Business Mind: You are comfortable with numbers. You’ve managed P&L before and know how to drive a business vertical toward aggressive targets. ● The Talent Scout: You have an eye for quality. You know what makes a world-class coach and how to build a team that inspires athletes. ● The Door-Opener & Closer: You possess elite negotiation skills. You are as comfortable in a boardroom with a CEO as you are on the court with a committee member. ● The Visionary: You can see the big picture. You don't just manage what exists; you build what’s next. Why You'll Love Being a PadelParker ● True Ownership: You have the autonomy to run this vertical like your own startup within our ecosystem. ● Elite Brand Power: You’ll be leading a vertical backed by global giants and sporting legends. ● Pivotal Leadership: Your success will directly define the trajectory of Padel in India. ● The Vibe: We work hard and play hard. You’ll be joining a team that is genuinely obsessed with building something big. Think you’ve got the vision to lead the movement? Send your resume to and let’s get the ball rolling.
