High performance can create expanded leadership opportunity and long term upside as PrimeTime scales nationally.

Responsibilities

• Hunt and secure Philadelphia based marketing partnerships
• Build relationships with local businesses, national brands, and fight aligned companies
• Identify sponsor categories aligned with combat sports demographics
• Manage sponsor relationships and renewal pipelines
• Coordinate with gym leadership and fighters on deliverables
• Collaborate with executive leadership on long term combat sports strategy

Ideal Candidate

• Located in the Philadelphia area
• Strong network within the local business community
• Understanding of combat sports culture and brand positioning
• Comfortable with cold outreach and relationship driven sales
• Entrepreneurial mindset with interest in building within a startup agency environment
• Self motivated and performance driven

This is a very unique opportunity to sit at the intersection of combat sports and brand marketing while working alongside elite level fighters competing on the biggest stages in the sport.
