Description

We’re the world’s leading sports technology company, at the intersection between sports, media, and betting.

You will own a full new business pipeline of small-to-medium business (SMB) and mid-market accounts, while also developing larger, strategic new-logo opportunities.

The Challenge

  • Pipeline Generation and Prospecting:

+ Build and maintain a qualified new business pipeline through outbound prospecting, referrals, partner introductions, and inbound lead follow-up. + Research target accounts and map key stakeholders across commercial, technical, and content functions. + Set and track weekly and monthly activity targets in CRM.

  • Full-Cycle Sales Management:

+ Own the sales cycle from discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close for SMB and mid-market deals. + Run structured discovery to qualify opportunities and uncover business needs, budgets, decision processes, and timelines. + Lead commercial negotiations, including pricing, licensing terms, and contract structure, with support from Legal and Finance.

  • Strategic Opportunity Development:

+ Identify and develop larger, multi-product new-logo opportunities with broadcasters, publishers, federations, content owners, and technology companies. + Build executive-level relationships and multi-threaded engagement across prospective customer organisations. + Develop targeted account plans that move opportunities from first contact to signed contract.

  • Forecasting and Reporting:

+ Maintain accurate, up-to-date deal records and forecast categories in CRM. + Provide reliable monthly, quarterly, and annual new business revenue forecasts to leadership. + Analyse win/loss data and pipeline trends to refine approach and identify gaps.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration and Market Insight:

+ Feed market intelligence on competitors, pricing, and customer needs back to Product and Marketing. + Represent the company at industry events, sports conferences, and trade shows in your region (UK, Europe, or US).
