Our client is looking to hire a Sales Associate to join their commercial team in Charlotte. This is an outstanding opportunity for an ambitious, early-career sales professional who wants to develop their career within a dynamic industry and gain exposure to a high-growth business.

Industry experience is not essential. We're far more interested in speaking with candidates who are naturally driven, commercially minded, and passionate about building a career in sales.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Prospecting and engaging potential clients through outbound sales activity, networking, and market research.
• Identifying and qualifying new business opportunities.
• Building relationships with prospective customers and key stakeholders.
• Conducting outreach via phone, email, LinkedIn, and other channels.
• Booking meetings and supporting the wider commercial team throughout the sales process.
• Maintaining accurate sales activity and pipeline data within CRM systems.
• Supporting proposals, presentations, and client communications.
• Monitoring market trends and identifying new growth opportunities.
• Representing the business at relevant industry events and networking opportunities.
• Working cross-functionally with internal teams to support commercial objectives.

What We’re Looking For

• 1+ year of experience within Sales, Business Development, Recruitment, Account Management, Customer Success, or a similar client-facing role.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A proactive, self-starting attitude with a desire to exceed targets.
• Confidence speaking with prospective clients and stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Exposure to CRM platforms would be advantageous.
• Genuine interest in sports, gaming, entertainment, media, or technology.
• Ability to work from the Charlotte office a minimum of three days per week.

What’s On Offer

• Highly attractive commission structure with earnings directly linked to personal sales performance.
• Hybrid working environment with a minimum of three days per week in-office.
• Significant opportunities for career progression and professional development.
• Exposure to one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving sectors in the market.
• The opportunity to work alongside experienced commercial leaders and industry professionals.

The Ideal Candidate

This role would suit a recent graduate or junior sales professional looking to accelerate their career in a high-growth environment.

You’ll be ambitious, competitive, and eager to learn, with the drive to build lasting client relationships and contribute to a growing business. A genuine passion for sports, gaming, and entertainment is particularly important for this position, as it will help you better understand the market, engage prospective customers, and identify new commercial opportunities.

If you’re looking for a role where your hard work is rewarded, your earnings are tied directly to your success, and you can build a long-term career within a thriving industry, we’d love to hear from you.
