Job Role - Sponsorship Sales
We’re in the business of integrity, and that shows up in how you carry yourself. This role demands someone who turns up polished and takes the standard seriously, every day. If you're casual about how you show up and follow through, you'll be a cultural misfit here.
What the role actually is
You'll own the full sales cycle — from lead generation to close — securing partners for our forums, award galas, reports, and research events. You build your own pipeline and you close through value, not pressure.
What you'll do:
- Identify and pursue new sponsorship opportunities
- Build and manage your own portfolio of clients
- Develop tailored sponsorship proposals
- Negotiate deals and consistently meet targets
- Work with our marketing and events teams to deliver exceptional value to sponsors
What you bring:
- Proven experience selling solutions, not commodities
- A real obsession with customer delivery and outcomes
- Strong communication and confidence with senior stakeholders
- A track record of generating leads and building a client base
- Sharp instincts and the ability to close through value
- Energy for a fast-paced, goal-driven team
- Knowledge of media, events, or related industries (a plus)
- Bachelor's in Business, Marketing, or a related field (preferred)
What you get
You'll represent a brand built on credibility you can't manufacture, with access to the rooms where India's wealth and ambition meet — selling event and platform partnerships, never placement on the lists themselves.
