Senior Partnerships Manager – Sports Marketplace

You know the people who run sponsorship at teams, venues and festivals. Bring them onto the platform that's changing how it's sold.

A fast-growing, seed-stage marketplace in New York lets brands discover, evaluate and close sponsorships across sports and live events. National brands, professional teams, venues and leagues already use it. You'll own the supply side from scratch: bringing rights holders onto the marketplace, writing the playbook and growing into leading the partnerships team.

What you'll own

• Bringing teams, venues, festivals and event organisers onto the marketplace
• The outbound playbook for the supply side
• The biggest multi-property conversations
• Supply strategy, pricing insight and which verticals to go after, together with the founders
• Hiring and managing the partnerships team as it grows

Must-haves

• Deep sports and live-events knowledge: how properties make money and how sponsorship inventory is packaged and priced
• Relationships with the people who decide on sponsorship at teams, venues, festivals or events, which you can tap right away
• You've sourced, pitched and closed partnership deals yourself as an individual contributor, with outbound numbers to show for it
• 2+ years of experience
• In the SoHo office five days a week, 9-9-5

Bonus points

• Corporate partnership or sponsorship sales at a team, league, agency, venue or festival
• A playbook you wrote or a BD motion you scaled
• A presence at sports-business conferences

What's in it for you

• $90k–$120k base + uncapped commission + equity
• Ownership of a whole side of the marketplace, with a path to leading a team
• Lunch, a travel and expense budget, and personal perks

Good to know

• Full-time, on-site in SoHo, New York, 9-9-5
• Sponsorship is limited (US citizens, green card holders, F-1, H-1B, TN); please share your exact status
• 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
• Partnership deals you sourced and closed yourself, with numbers (pipeline, deal size, win rate)
• 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
