About CrowdLED

At CrowdLED, we turn crowds into living, breathing parts of the show. You’ve seen our work in some of the most electric moments in sports: lighting up the EuroLeague Basketball Finals in the UAE, transforming atmospheres during the Championship League and Nations League, and powering the full playoff run of Sparta Praag in ice hockey. When fans become part of the spectacle, the energy shifts. That is what we do best.

This is a role with ownership, responsibility, and the opportunity to influence how we scale the sports vertical.

What You’ll Do

Own the full sales cycle: prospecting, pitching, solution design, negotiating, and closing
Build and grow relationships with clubs, leagues, federations, rights-holders, and agencies
Qualify and convert inbound leads from across EMEA
Work with Sales, Production, and Creative teams to bring immersive fan moments to life
Contribute to strategy and help shape our direction in sports

Who You Are

A proven track record of achieving or surpassing revenue targets
Experience in sports, live events, entertainment, sponsorship, or fan engagement
