Your prior accomplishments should demonstrate your ability to achieve outcomes like these:

Improved conversion rates: “You’ve implemented structured testing and automation that improved funnel conversions, and documented processes for others to repeat the improvements.”

Drive and sustain collaborative partnerships with other key organizations: “You’ve driven and sustained collaborative partnerships with key organizations that resulted in measurable outcomes — such as joint programs, sponsorships, or co-branded initiatives that expanded reach, generated revenue, or strengthened organizational positioning.”
What Success Looks Like
Immediate revenue targets are hit by moving the needle on quick wins within the first 30 days of hire.
Sponsorship and partnership growth pipeline initiated.
Programs and events launch and profitability outlined and engaged.
Systems and processes documented and repeatable.
Build a sales/marketing engine and automation systems executing against clear dashboards and metrics.
About You:
You are not just a marketer or salesperson. You are both a Builder and an Improver:
As a Builder, you thrive on launching and scaling — whether it’s a new program, academy, or event. You know how to create momentum fast, generate revenue quickly, and deliver measurable results. Writing proposals, concept notes, designing new programs or turning business meetings into a monetizable opportunity is a walk in the park for you.
As an Improver, you don’t stop at quick wins. You design the structures, processes, dashboards, and reporting systems that turn those wins into sustainable growth. You love and play in excel sheets, data is a language you speak. CRMs are your best friend.
You are able to convert ideas into revenue streams, thrive in rapid growth, and make bold moves.
You are a person who organizes, systematizes, and embeds processes so growth is sustainable.
You must be both able to hustle for short-term wins and install long-term structures.
You’re at your best when:
- You’re accountable for direct revenue outcomes (not just activity).
- You can design and execute campaigns, then track and prove their ROI.
- You build partnerships and sponsorship pipelines that deliver results now and next year.
- You install systems — CRMs, reporting tools, performance trackers — so success is repeatable. You enjoy leading and mentoring teams, ensuring performance is transparent and tracked.
You are equally strong in inbound and outbound sales generation — able to craft lead magnets, build a sales funnel that includes email and ad copy, and digital campaigns that attracts prospects in, while also pursuing outbound outreach, sponsorship acquisition, and partnership development with confidence.
If you’ve only “hustled” without creating systems, or only “managed systems” without creating revenue wins, this role is not for you.
We’re looking for someone who can point to specific, measurable achievements in both building and improving — and can show how those results aligned with business growth.
If this is you, join a vibrant, go getter team and be part of great milestones in your career.
