The opportunity
Be the founding closer for a marketplace where brands buy sports and live-event sponsorships. The motion already works; you close the bigger deals, own the number and write the playbook that lets it scale.
A seed-stage New York marketplace that helps brands find, evaluate and buy sponsorships across sports and live events, a large market still run largely on email and spreadsheets. Major consumer brands and well-known teams and venues already use it.
What you will do
- Own brand deals end to end, from first email to signed contract and the relationship after
- Run outbound to brand marketing leaders across consumer, fintech, gaming and more
- Lead discovery and demos and capture clear briefs
- Own pipeline, conversion, deal speed and revenue
- Write the playbook so the motion scales beyond you
- Represent the company at major industry events, and hire and lead future reps
What you bring
- Roughly 2 to 4 years carrying a number, with quota attainment you can state
- Something you built from zero, such as a territory, vertical or motion
- A deal you closed that should not have been closable
- A competitive streak, as an athlete, founder or top rep
- Comfort selling without a finished playbook
- Understanding of how brands buy, or the drive to learn fast
- Willingness to work in the office in New York five days a week
Nice to have
- Sponsorship, brand or media-buying sales
- Self-sourced pipeline
Pay and benefits
- Salary range: $110,000 to $160,000 per year. This is the range the client expects to pay in good faith. The final amount depends on experience and other job-related factors.
- Uncapped commission
- Lunch included
- Travel and entertainment budget
- Personalized perks
