Olympics & Paralympics Talent Partnership, Vice President

United States · Chicago, ILFull-timePosted Aug 3, 2026

Join the Talent Partnerships and Culture team to help activate one of JPMorganChase’s newest and most visible global sponsorship platforms: the Olympic and Paralympic Games. This role leads strategy and relationship management for athlete, celebrity, and influencer/creator talent in close partnership with internal Lines of Business, Sports and Entertainment, and key agency and rights-holder partners.

As a Vice President in the Talent Partnerships and Culture team, you will lead end-to-end talent relations workstreams—from opportunity intake and talent strategy through deal execution, deliverable management, content creation and activation, and post-program measurement. You will drive strong operating discipline and stakeholder partnership, ensuring programs advance brand and business priorities while protecting the firm and strengthening long-term talent relationships. You will also help manage relationships that extend beyond the Olympic and Paralympic Games, as many athlete partners support broader sports and athlete initiatives across the firm.

  • Influence and manage senior stakeholders in a matrixed environment with discretion, sound judgment, and pace.
