Partnerships Manager – Sports Marketplace

Early in your sales career, a genuine sports fan, and you close your own deals? Start here.

A fast-growing, seed-stage marketplace in New York lets brands discover, evaluate and close sponsorships across sports and live events. You'll help bring the supply side online: sports teams, event organisers, festivals and venues. You get them listed, help them price their inventory and own the relationship from first outreach to signed listing. You'll work side by side with the founders and the partnerships lead, and what you hear from the market shapes the product.

What you'll own

• Outreach to teams, venues, festivals and event organisers
• Getting them listed on the marketplace and helping them price their inventory
• Each relationship from first contact to signed listing
• Customer feedback that goes straight into the product

Must-haves

• 1+ year in sales, partnerships or BD with results you can quantify (quota, deals won, pipeline). A finance or ops role with a bit of outbound isn't the same.
• You own deals through to close; booking meetings and handing them off isn't enough
• You love sports or live events, can explain a marketplace simply, and customers trust you quickly
• In the SoHo office five days a week, 9-9-5

Bonus points

• Sponsorship, ticketing or partnership sales in sports or entertainment
• A college-sport background, or a business you started yourself
• A network among properties, venues or event organisers

What's in it for you

• $75k–$100k base + uncapped commission
• Ownership from the start, side by side with the founders
• Lunch, a travel and expense budget, and personal perks
• Visa sponsorship available

Good to know

• Full-time, on-site in SoHo, New York, 9-9-5
• Process: intro with the CEO → conversation with the co-founder → case study → deeper conversation → references → offer

When you apply, please include

• Your CV (PDF) and your LinkedIn URL
• Your sales numbers (quota, deals closed or pipeline built), stated plainly
• Your current location, and confirmation that five days in SoHo works for you
• Your visa or citizenship status, and if you'll need sponsorship
• Your base and OTE expectation, your notice period, and any other interview processes you're in

Does this sound like you? Apply now. If you're a match, we'll be in touch within 3 working days.
