• Representing the business at relevant industry events and networking opportunities.
• Working cross-functionally with internal teams to support commercial objectives.

What We're Looking For

• 1+ year of experience within Sales, Business Development, Recruitment, Account Management, Customer Success, or a similar client-facing role.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive, self-starting attitude with a desire to exceed targets.
• Confidence speaking with prospective clients and stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

• Significant opportunities for career progression and professional development.
• Exposure to one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving sectors in the market.
• The opportunity to work alongside experienced commercial leaders and industry professionals.

The Ideal Candidate

This role would suit a recent graduate or junior sales professional looking to accelerate their career in a high-growth environment.

You'll be ambitious, competitive, and eager to learn, with the drive to build lasting client relationships and contribute to a growing business. A genuine passion for sports, gaming, and entertainment is particularly important for this position, as it will help you better understand the market, engage prospective customers, and identify new commercial opportunities.

If you're looking for a role where your hard work is rewarded, your earnings are tied directly to your success, and you can build a long-term career within a thriving industry, we'd love to hear from you.
