Company Description
I am recruiting on behalf of a new startup within entertainment/content space that will be launching this year in North America. This sales role is very unique as it provides equity from the start, while adding salary post-funding to the compensation package. This role will be creating new business, selling partnerships and sponsorships.
The company/app has already attracted interest from venture capitalists and this role will start just as the fun begins of building a media empire.
The ideal candidate will already have a proper 9-5 job, or a freelance consultant, as salary won’t kick in until post-funding. Expectations and deadlines pre-funding will be mutually discussed and agreed upon.
Looking for candidates ideally with sales and sponsorship experience, whether content, social media, property or events.
Role Description
This is a remote role for a Director of Sales. The Director of Sales will be responsible for developing and executing sales strategies, analyzing data, identifying new business opportunities, pitching to companies and meeting sales targets.

- Previous experience in sponsorship and/or content/social sales
- Strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills
