Note: The health and safety of our staff is paramount. Due to current COVID-19 conditions we have re-opened offices with safety measures as advised by the CDC and local health authorities. Initial interviews will be conducted via phone or video conference, however, in person office availability is required for employment.

2020 has been a trying year for everyone. However, we are grateful that our upcoming event horizon is ripe with opportunity for growth! Therefore, we are thrilled to expand our sales efforts. If you will be relocating in the future for full employment in our West Coast Headquarters, located in Portland, OR, please check back on our website for future opportunities and updates: www.ism-usa.com.

ISM is on a mission to expand our footprint as the global leader in sports marketing and management in the event hospitality space. Our successful sales execs come from many different walks of life. Your background helps define where you are, but what’s even more important is where you want to go and having the initiative to get there! Founded in 1997, ISM has become the industry leader in global event sports marketing and management specializing in customized premium sports hospitality packages. Behind our packages are the people driving us forward every day. The values we live by at ISM are: GENUINE, TEAMWORK, RESPECT, INTEGRITY, and TENACITY.

You will be calling corporate executives around the U.S. and presenting opportunities for them to host at major golf events (U.S. Open, Ryder Cup Matches, The Masters, etc.) and other “big ticket” events such as the College Football Playoff Championship, NCAA Basketball Tournament, Kentucky Derby, and others.

You will:

• Drive sales activities including proactive targeted outreach to prospects as well as develop qualified leads, set meetings, update and maintain your sales database, and do research on targeted prospect companies
• Develop a strong understanding of our product offerings and articulate our value proposition clearly
• Work closely with sales leadership to develop strategies for targeting companies and execute on tactical elements to support those activities. You will learn from some of the most experienced and talented in the industry
