• Proven success in sales, preferably in sport or events.
• Well-organized with experience managing a pipeline.
• Ability to craft compelling, bespoke sponsorship proposals.
• Knowledge of the UK tennis landscape is a plus, but not essential.
• Excellent writing and speaking skills—clear, persuasive, and concise.
