Zahir Rahman

Zahir Rahman is in his fifth season with the Las Vegas Raiders where, upon his hire, he became the youngest vice president in the organization’s history. He oversees day-to-day business operations for both the team and Allegiant Stadium. “The biggest challenge is also what makes working for the Raiders extra special; unlike other companies strictly driven by the bottom line, our job at the Raiders is to make every decision guided by our core principles of champion, community and culture,” Zahir said.

Zahir played a pivotal role in securing Super Bowl 58 for Las Vegas. He collaborated with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and negotiated agreements with the NFL for Allegiant Stadium and Raiders HQ to host major events. He also served as co-chair of the administrative/legal committee for the Super Bowl 58 Host Committee. Known for his strategic thinking and legal expertise, Zahir is an impactful leader whose innovative solutions and collaborative approach continue to drive success for the Raiders.
