Corporate Sports Sales

Job Summary

Corporate participation at major sporting events has never been higher, as 2017 proved to be a record year with companies big and small taking advantage of some incredible championship moments.  In 2018, we’re slated for a fast start with the incredibly dramatic College Football Championship (Roll Tide), the culmination of the NFL season with the big game in Minneapolis, and March Madness ready to once again take the country by storm! International Sports Management (ISM) will be hosting hundreds of companies at these and other major sporting events and we are even more enthusiastic about the portfolio of events to come in mid/late-2018, 2019 and beyond! ISM has been the global leader in corporate sports hospitality and ticketing packages for over 20 years, and we are launching 2018 with an expansion of our national sales team within our U.S. Headquarters right here in Chicago, looking for a total of five (5) individuals with a start date of mid-February!

The National Account Executive position will be responsible for new business generation, calling on companies around the U.S. and selling packages to major events such as the Masters, College Football Championship, U.S. Open, the NCAA Basketball Tournament, the Ryder Cup, and many more.
