Account Executive – Sports Media
We are seeking an Account Executive role in the sports media industry. Our client offers a unique product, providing high-quality digital scoreboards to high schools for FREE.
Most ask, “What is the catch?” There is no catch. Our client generates revenue through advertising and sponsorship sales featured on the scoreboard. A portion of that revenue is then shared with the school.
In other words, it does not cost the school anything; they also make money from it. We’re seeking Account Executives to sell advertising and sponsorships to local businesses, including realtors, hospitals, lawyers, retail businesses, home builders, and insurance companies, to name a few.
The base salary is $50,000-$65,000 with an OTE of $100,000-$130,000 in the first year. Commissions are uncapped.
This is a 100% work-from-home position; however, you must live in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area.
There’s TONS of opportunity for advancement, as our client is looking for people who will be with them long-term and help expand the already quickly growing business!
