Beginning with the team as a summer intern for the then Los Angeles Raiders in 1991. Badain attended University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business, graduating in 2001 with an MBA.[1] Badain rose through the ranks eventually becoming the chief financial officer for the team and an assistant to previous CEO Amy Trask in 2006.

In 2015, Raiders owner Mark Davis promoted him to the permanent role of president, making the announcement in the same press conference that Jack Del Rio was announced as head coach.[2]
