• Turn the excitement and reach of live sports into meaningful client solutions, including game-day integrations, sponsorships and cross-platform promotions.
• Present confidently to decision-makers, tell a strong story and earn trust through follow-through.
• Partner with sales leadership, creative services, broadcast and digital teams to launch campaigns that perform.
• Use campaign results, digital metrics and client feedback to optimize programs and identify renewal opportunities.
• Stay current on local business needs, sports programming, streaming trends and evolving digital advertising tools.
• Consistently meet and exceed revenue goals.

What you bring

• Strong prospecting, relationship-building, presentation and consultative selling skills.
• Experience in media, advertising, sponsorship, B2B or digital sales is preferred; we will consider candidates with a proven record of developing new business.
• Interest in sports and an ability to translate fan passion into valuable advertiser opportunities.
• Working knowledge of digital advertising, including CTV/OTT, social, display, video, targeting and campaign measurement—or the ability and drive to learn quickly.
• Comfort working in a fast-moving, goal-oriented environment.
• Familiarity with the Alpena/Northeast Michigan market is a plus.

What we offer

• Compensation range of $37,500–$50,000 per year, including guaranteed salary plus commission.
