Director of Ticket Sales

League One Volleyball (LOVB) Austin is building its ticketing function from the ground up ahead of Season 3 (running Dec 2026-April 2027). We're looking for a Director of Ticket Sales to lead this build — someone who will hire and develop a sales team, set the strategy, and own ticketing revenue results for the organization. As one of the first hires on a lean & growing front office, you will build the ticket sales strategy, CRM, and reporting infrastructure, and hire and coach 1-2 Account Executives as revenue and headcount allow.

In the near term — while the sales team is still being built out — this role may also be expected to personally sell and service a limited book of business. As the team is hired and ramped, the expectation is for this position to shift its time toward leadership, strategy, and operational ownership rather than an ongoing personal sales quota.

You will report directly to the VP of Growth and be a foundational voice in shaping how LOVB Austin sells and services season memberships, group tickets, and premium inventory for Season 3 and beyond. This is an exciting opportunity for someone that wants to play a pivotal role in growing a new professional team from the ground up in one of the country’s most exciting sports markets!

Personal Selling & Revenue Generation (near-term, transitional)

• During the initial build-out period, personally carry a limited book of business for season memberships, partial plans, group tickets, and premium/hospitality inventory to help generate revenue while the sales team is still being hired.
• Generate new business through outbound prospecting, cold calling, face-to-face and virtual meetings, stadium tours, and networking/community events throughout the Austin area.
• Negotiate and close deals on this limited account set, with an eye toward transitioning accounts to Account Executives as they're hired and ramped.
• Deliver a high level of customer service to ensure fan retention and a positive account experience at every touchpoint.
• Note:
  
  This is intended as a bridge responsibility, not a permanent expectation — as the sales team scales, personal selling should decrease in favor of leadership, strategy, and results ownership. Depending on staffing sequence, this responsibility may be reduced or eliminated if sales enablement/membership support is in place before this hire starts.
