About HBS: Help shape the future of sports broadcasting. You’ve probably watched a football game at some point; if it was a World Cup match, it was likely filmed and produced by HBS (Host Broadcast Services). We are involved in producing major events like FIFA World Cup 26, FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027, Men’s Rugby World Cup 2027 Australia, and more.

For this role, you must:

• Have proven experience in digital sales within the sports media industry — specifically with branded content development, league growth strategies, and digital offerings for major sporting events or organizations.
• Demonstrate a successful track record in business development — including expanding client portfolios, identifying market gaps, and creating tailored sales strategies to drive revenue growth.

Why join our Digital Team? Drive Innovation in Sports Media!

We're expanding our digital footprint through Skroller, our innovative digital agency launched to bring HBS's production expertise to the commercial market. After successfully providing digital services to organizations like FIFA, we are diversifying our portfolio and seeking a strategic sales professional to help us grow.

Skroller operates across four key pillars:

• Content: Activating digital content around athletes and events.
• Production: Creating films and programs for platforms like YouTube.
• Campaigns & Consultancy: Driving growth and engagement for clients.
• Extended Reality: Innovating with digital experiences.

This is your chance to work with a globally recognized team and help establish new partnerships beyond our traditional scope.

Your Responsibilities

Business Development

• Drive sales strategy for our digital portfolio, considering our products and market position.
• Develop tailored sales solutions and tools.
• Expand our client base beyond current sectors.
• Raise the profile of HBS and Skroller in new areas like branded content.
• Identify market gaps where our skills can create value.

Client Relationship Management

• Maintain and nurture key client relationships.
• Help clients understand our content and products.
• Enhance HBS's external image and visibility.

Performance Tracking

• Set and report on KPIs.
• Create marketing presentations of achievements.
• Analyze feedback to improve strategies.

Innovation and Guidance

• Collaborate internally to propose innovative ideas.
• Guide service adaptation to client needs.
• Stay ahead of industry trends.
