The Sales & Sponsorship Manager will serve as a key revenue driver across NLSE, the NCL, and NLSE's suite of broadcast technology products. This role carries a dual mandate: driving sponsorship and advertising revenue across our sports and entertainment properties, while simultaneously building a B2B client base for our Cue, Vital, Verge, and Master Control solutions. This position requires a strategic thinker and relationship builder who can operate across two distinct but complementary sales tracks — consumer-facing sports sponsorship and B2B broadcast technology sales — while delivering best-in-class results across all revenue streams.
