We’re partnering with a private, invitation-only community of founders, investors, and senior operators built on long-term relationships and trust. The platform brings its members together through a year-round calendar of curated, high-touch gatherings across major US markets, anchored by a flagship annual summit. This exciting startup was founded by a seasoned entrepreneur and has grown organically through referrals and word of mouth, with a strong emphasis on quality over scale and high-touch experiences over mass events. The culture is highly collaborative and relationship-driven, with a long-term focus on building something that lasts. This position is on-site 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs) in New York.

The Role This is an opportunity to join as a Sales & Partnerships Lead, working closely with senior commercial leadership to drive six-figure sponsorship and partnership revenue. The role is ideal for someone with experience selling corporate sponsorships or partnerships in the events, conference, or ecosystem-driven space, who enjoys relationship-led selling and bespoke deal design.

You’ll own your accounts end to end, with operational and cross-functional support in place so you can focus on strategy, relationship building, and closing.

At least 3 years of experience selling sponsorships, partnerships, or business development within conferences, events, or adjacent ecosystems

A proven track record of closing low six-figure or larger deals

Strong relationship-building skills and executive presence

Ability to manage deals from strategy through close with minimal oversight
