Job description

International Sports Management (ISM) is eager to further expand our Downtown Portland office!

Attn: Early-Career Sales Professionals – Build Your Career in Corporate Sales & Sports – located IN Portland!

Please read entire ad before applying to make certain everything sounds like a match for you - and note, this is a full-time, IN-OFFICE position! Also, this is a corporate SALES position – not customer service! You will be working in our new office on the beautiful waterfront in downtown Portland, OR. This is a full-time, in-office B2B sales role in our downtown Portland office. It is not remote, hybrid, telemarketing, or a customer-service position. Because interviews and training will take place locally and very soon, we are only considering candidates already located in the Portland metro area. There is no relocation package.

Now, about ISM. We lead the industry in provisioning Executive Hosting Opportunities at the biggest sporting events in the world such as the upcoming College Football Playoff Championship, Super Bowl, March Madness, the Masters, U.S. Open, and many more. Our clients include top executives at the biggest companies in the world. We got here by putting our customers and our amazing team first. Today, our team is working in the middle of an extraordinary sports cycle that includes many of the biggest events in sports.

You will:

• Learn how to go to market calling on corporate executives (C‑Suite, President, VPs) throughout corporate America
• Deliver our value proposition clearly and with enthusiasm
• Drive sales activities, including proactive outreach to prospects, developing qualified leads, setting meetings, and maintaining your sales CRM
• Have the opportunity to make great money AND travel to select world‑class sports events

You’ll probably thrive here if you:

• Like competing and keeping score.
• Are comfortable talking to people you have never met.
• Can hear “no” without letting it ruin your day.
• Want your compensation to reflect your performance.
• Like coaching, feedback, and getting better.
• Would rather be around an energetic team than work alone from home.
• Want a career path—not simply your next job.

We provide:

• Base salary + commission + bonus, uncapped
• Bonuses, both cash & prize (monthly, quarterly & annually)
• Company medical/dental plans and 401K enrollment
• PTO and major holidays off (4 weeks paid time off each calendar year)
• Typical first-year total compensation range: $58K-$80K+ including base salary and commission.
• Growth opportunities into Sales Management / National Accounts
• Great corporate culture and community volunteerism

What you’ll bring:

• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills
• Tenacity, beyond just saying the word
• Sales experience is helpful, but not mandatory. B2B experience is a plus. We care more about communication ability, competitiveness, resilience, coachability, and the desire to build a career in professional sales.
• Excellent problem-solving skills
• High motivation to succeed and a growth‑minded, promotion‑oriented attitude
• If you do not check every box above, tell us why you believe your strengths, drive, and experience will allow you to succeed here.

We look forward to speaking with you soon! Check us out at www.ism-usa.com or on our socials!
