Love sport? Love sales? Ready to build something from the ground up?
What if your next sales role wasn't about selling the same products to the same people, but helping build an exciting new business at the intersection of sport, events and commercial partnerships?
We're looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Sales Manager to join a fast-growing international media and events business as it expands into the sports industry. This is an opportunity to play a key role in developing a new portfolio of B2B sports events, bringing together the people, brands and businesses shaping the future of sport.
Think less traditional exhibition hall, more high-impact experiences where decision-makers connect, partnerships are formed and real business gets done.
You'll have the freedom to make things happen, the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and a genuine voice in how the business develops. If you're a natural relationship builder who enjoys winning new business and wants to leave your mark on a growing venture, this could be the role for you.
🚀The Opportunity
Working directly with senior leadership, you'll take ownership of the commercial growth of a developing portfolio of sports industry events.
From sponsorships and strategic partnerships to exhibition opportunities, hosted-buyer programmes and creative brand activations, you'll help businesses find new ways to connect with the sports industry while building a strong and sustainable revenue stream.
This is a hands-on, new-business-focused position. You'll be picking up the phone, opening doors, building relationships, developing proposals and closing deals. You'll also have the opportunity to influence what you're selling, helping shape the packages, pricing and commercial strategy as the portfolio grows.
You'll have the autonomy to make decisions, test ideas and develop your own approach, with the support of a leadership team that values initiative, fresh thinking and results.
Who Will You Be Selling To?
You'll build relationships with businesses looking to reach decision-makers across the wider sports ecosystem, including:
- 🔹Professional sports teams, leagues, stadiums and venues.
- 🔹Colleges, universities and collegiate athletics programmes.
- 🔹Amateur, youth and grassroots sports organisations.
- 🔹Sports tournament organisers and event operators.
- 🔹Sports tourism organisations, destinations and travel providers…
