  • Build strong relationships with brands and agencies while managing a structured territory and revenue pipeline.

  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders across content, production, talent, and marketing to package compelling commercial programs.

The Ideal Profile: Is This You?
Here’s what helps people succeed in this role:

  • 3-5 years of experience in media sales, partnerships, digital advertising, sponsorships, or sports entertainment sales.

  • Strong pipeline management and CRM discipline. Comfortable selling across digital media, social content, and creator-driven campaigns.

  • Confident presenter, strong negotiator, relationship builder, and strategic thinker with proven deal-closing experience.

  • Nice-to-Haves: Existing brand and agency relationships across sports, entertainment, lifestyle, gaming, or CPG categories.

Meet the Team & Your Future at BC
