ABOUT US

HirexHire (pronounced hire by hire) is a Chicago-based recruiting and talent consultancy that integrates with companies short-term to provide long-term talent solutions. We take a seat in our client’s everyday operations to understand their people goals, gaps, and challenges. We then develop and implement the processes and technologies to execute a sustainable and scalable talent plan.

We partner with companies expecting or experiencing high growth who need to hire at scale or fill a critical role rapidly. Our clients are not looking for quick-fix placements but are thoughtfully building a hiring strategy to scale their businesses.

OUR CLIENT

Location: Chicago Metro Area

Industry: Sports/Software

Company Size: <50

What They Do: Our client provides a subscription-based management software tailored for sports content creators.

THE ROLE

This is a unique opportunity to play a pivotal role in a cutting-edge sports tech company and help individuals grow their brands. This role is focused on building strong relationships, driving new partner acquisition, and scaling revenue in a dynamic and rapidly growing industry. You will own the entire sales lifecycle, from lead generation to closing deals, with the opportunity to influence and shape the company’s sales processes and strategy. 

This role is ideal for a driven, relationship-focused sales professional excited by the opportunity to empower sports creators and influence the direction of an early-stage company. If you’re ready to bring creators onboard and help them thrive, we’d love to hear from you!

Key Responsibilities:

Prospect and Engage: Identify and reach out to sports content creators and influencers who can benefit a subscription management tool.

Full-Cycle Sales: Manage the entire sales process, from prospecting and initial outreach to closing and onboarding creators onto the platform.

Relationship Building: Act as a trusted advisor, educating creators on how to maximize engagement, drive revenue, and achieve growth through the platform.

Campaign Performance & Growth: Support creators post-onboarding, advising on best practices to help them grow their fan base and reach subscription goals. 

Skills and Experience:

  • Proven success in sales or business development, ideally with a focus on high-volume, subscription-based, or relationship-driven sales.
  • A strong track record of exceeding quotas, being a top performer, or achieving high sales volume.
  • Experience working with partners or clients in industries such as sports, sports betting, gambling, entertainment, hospitality, influencer marketing, or subscription sales is a plus.
  • A collaborative, coachable, and low-ego mindset. You thrive in a team environment and value the success of others as much as your own.

Nice-to-Have: 

  • Experience working with sports-related brands or influencer-driven platforms.
  • Familiarity with social media sales, digital marketing, or subscription business models.
  • Background in sports or sports betting, with a strong understanding of the sports audience landscape.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, Sports Management, or a related field.

Compensation and Location

  • On-Target Earnings (OTE): $150,000 - $170,000, plus equity, benefits, and other perks.
  • Hybrid role based in Chicago, IL, with 2-3 days in the office per week.
