In this role, you will be responsible for pushing new, early-stage tech products into the market, identifying high-value sales channels, and closing deals across the sports ecosystem.

The ideal candidate thrives in the high-velocity, fast-paced environment of a tech startup and brings deep domain familiarity with sports scouting, talent identification, and athlete/scout management networks.

Key Responsibilities

New Product Push & GTM Execution: Spearhead the commercial launch of new software products, turning early-stage features and concepts into scalable, revenue-generating sales pipelines.
Full-Cycle B2B Sales: Own the end-to-end sales funnel—from outbound prospecting and lead generation to product demonstrations, contract negotiation, and closing deals.
Ecosystem Engagement: Connect directly with sports academies, scouting agencies, talent managers, clubs, and sports federations to sell tech-driven scouting and talent management tools.
Startup Agility & Iteration: Work closely with Product and Growth teams to relay real-time market feedback, user objections, and customer feature requests to refine the product roadmap.
Pipeline Management: Build, track, and manage a robust sales pipeline using CRM tools (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce), providing accurate revenue forecasts to leadership.

Requirements

Experience: Minimum of 3+ years of proven tech sales (SaaS / B2B software) experience with a track record of meeting or exceeding targets.
Startup Track Record: Hands-on experience working inside a fast-paced tech startup environment where agility, adaptability, and self-direction are required.
New Product Launch Experience: Demonstrated experience taking brand-new, early-stage software products from "zero to one" in the market.
Sports & Talent Ecosystem Knowledge: Direct experience working within or selling into sports startups, athlete scouting platforms, or talent management ecosystems.
Domain Network: Existing connections or a clear understanding of how scouts, talent agents, sports academies, and club directors operate and make purchasing decisions.
Key Competencies & Attributes
Hunter Mindset: Highly proactive, comfortable with cold outreach, warm introductions, and relentless follow-through.
Consultative Selling: Ability to translate technical software features into clear value propositions for sports executives, head scouts, and talent agency heads.
Adaptability: Comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and evolving product messaging typical of early-stage tech ventures.
