If you’re nodding along, we’ve got the perfect role for you. We’re looking for a Partnership Sales Lead to join the Core Team for We Are Sales – the largest sales event in the Benelux!

As the Partnership Sales Lead, you’ll be responsible for attracting sponsors and partners, working to secure the best brands and companies to support our event. You’ll take full ownership of your role, from prospecting to closing deals.

What You’ll Do:

• Attract Sponsors: You’ll actively seek out potential partners and sponsors who would benefit from being involved in We Are Sales.
• Build Relationships: You’ll develop relationships with companies, learning about their needs and showing them why partnering with us will help them meet their goals.
• Close Deals: You’ll be responsible for negotiating partnership deals, creating proposals, and ensuring both sides are excited to collaborate.
• Collaborate with the Partner Success Team: Work closely with the Partner Success Lead to ensure that once the deal is closed, sponsors are set up for success and get the most out of their involvement.
• Contribute to Strategy: You’ll provide input on partnership strategies, suggesting ways to improve our value proposition to sponsors.

What You’ll Need:

• Sales Mindset: You’re driven by results and know how to close deals. You enjoy prospecting, networking, and relationship-building.
• Negotiation Skills: You’re comfortable leading conversations with partners, and you know how to create win-win agreements.
• Communication Savvy: You’re a great communicator, whether it’s pitching ideas, following up with partners, or collaborating with internal teams.
• Partnership Sales Experience (a plus): Experience in sales or partnership development is a bonus, but if you’re confident in your ability to sell and close deals, we want to hear from you!

Why Join Us?

• Hands-On Experience: You won’t just be supporting partnerships – you’ll take the lead on driving sponsorship deals, gaining valuable, real-world experience in sales and partnership development.
• Be Part of Something Big: You’ll play a key role in the success of the largest sales event in the Benelux by bringing in partners that elevate our event.
• Fun and Dynamic Environment: We work hard, but we have a blast while doing it. Expect high energy, lots of creativity, and an unforgettable experience.

Our Values:

• Ownership Mentality: In a small team, proactivity is key. We believe in taking ownership and making things happen.
• Fail Fast, Learn Faster: We believe in the right to fail, but it’s what we do next that counts. When things don’t go as planned, we own it, reflect, and adapt quickly.
• Radical Candor: We don’t sugarcoat. If something needs to be said, we say it – with positive intent. We believe in open, honest communication for the good of the team.
• Customer Obsession: Whether you’re in growth, operations, or support, everything we do is for our customers. Their satisfaction is our top priority, always.
• Remote, but Connected: We work remotely because we’re juggling other commitments, but that doesn’t mean we’re disconnected. We come together in person once every two weeks to stay connected and aligned.
