Job description

World Class events. World Class clients. A team that promotes from within.

For nearly 30 years, ISM has connected Fortune 1,000 companies with the world's most sought after sports experiences. Our 40+ annual events include the College Football Playoff National Championship, the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, the Ryder Cup, the PGA Championship, and the World Cup.

We're growing at our Chicago headquarters and launching new sales teams. Many of our current managers started in this exact role, and as new teams form, we're looking for our Client Advisors to grow into leadership.

Your Seat at the Table

You'll work with senior executives at major U.S. companies, advising them on how executive hosting at premier sporting events can strengthen client relationships and drive new business. It's consultative sale with a large variety of products for the client to pick from, not a ticket pitch. You'll start in new business development, then take on account strategy and long-term client partnerships as you succeed.

Your Day-to-Day

• Connect with executives and decision-makers across the U.S.
• Manage the full sales cycle, from first conversation to close to ongoing account management
• Build your own national book of business across 40+ events

What You Get

• Base salary + uncapped commission
• First-year earnings average $55K-$75K+, with year two potential of $80K+
• Monthly, quarterly, and annual incentives, including cash and prizes
• Medical, dental, and 401(k) with company match
• 4+ weeks of paid time off
• Structured training and mentorship from our Chicago management team
• Clear advancement path: many Client Advisors move into leadership within 18 months

Is This You?

• Competitive, driven people who want pay tied to performance
• Strong communicators comfortable (or eager to get comfortable) with senior executives
• Experienced sales backgrounds (insurance, wealth management, direct outreach) are a great fit
• Committed to a career track, with the patience for an 8-12 month learning curve

ISM is an equal opportunity employer committed to a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce. Accommodations are available on request during the application process.
