Job Summary
FloSports is a world-class sports media company strategically positioned to be the essential destination for passionate sports fans delighting them with live event coverage breaking news highlights stats rankings and team and player profiles. We are growing Our Sports every day by continuing to invest in our ever-expanding ecosystem which consists of over a dozen sport verticals and hundreds of streaming partners. FloSports is creating the home for college conferences/leagues and sports like grappling hockey track & field racing cheer wrestling and more and we are looking for innovative and passionate people like you to help us!
THE ROLE:
FloSports is the digital home for the next generation of hockey fans. While our roots and core assets are firmly planted in the Canadian hockey ecosystem our vision is North American dominance. We are seeking a market-makera senior seller who doesnt just respond to RFPs but creates them.
You will lead the charge in transforming FloSports into the premier partner for hockey-investing brands. This isnt a transactional spot-and-dot sales role; this is a strategic partnership position where you will build high-value multi-year alliances with the biggest names in the sport.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Architect the Vertical: Own the revenue strategy for the Hockey vertical across Canada and the USA identifying untapped opportunities for brand integration.
Open the Unopenable Doors: Leverage your existing deep-rooted relationships with Tier-1 hockey brands (think equipment giants financial institutions and automotive) and their agencies.
Consultative Storytelling: Move beyond standard banner ads. You will design and sell complex content-driven partnerships that include live event activations original content sponsorships and digital media.
Collaborative Growth: Work closely with the VP and internal content teams to ensure our hockey properties are packaged in a way that resonates with high-spend advertisers.
Pipeline Mastery: Maintain a high-velocity pipeline providing accurate forecasting and consistently exceeding aggressive revenue targets.
KNOWLEDGE SKILLS AND ABILITIES:
The Rolodex: You dont need a map of the hockey world; you already have the cell phone numbers of the key decision-makers at major Canadian and US hockey-investing brands.
Experience: 710 years of elite performance in sports media sales sponsorships or partnerships. If youve spent time at a major broadcaster (TSN Sportsnet) or a global sports agency youll feel right at home.
Market Fluency: You understand the nuances of the Canadian market (the heart of the sport) and how to scale that value to US-based brands looking for hockey credibility.
Closing Power: A proven track record of securing six- and seven-figure deals. You are a negotiator who finds the win-win in complex multi-faceted agreements.
Entrepreneurial Grit: You thrive in high-growth environments. You are a self-starter who prefers building a legacy over following a rigid corporate manual.
BONUS
Must be based in Canada.
Deep familiarity with the digital streaming (OTT) landscape and how it is disrupting traditional sports media.
Willingness to travel (when the puck drops youre there) to meet clients and attend major industry events.
Compensation: $120K CAD base salary commissions based on performance
