Job description

Sponsorship Sales Rep for HobbyScool (Commission, Remote)

HobbyScool runs more than 12 virtual craft and hobby summits a year and has an email list of about 40,000 crafters. I’m looking for someone to sell brand sponsorships for us.

You’d reach out to craft and hobby brands, get on calls with them, close sponsorship deals and then stay the main contact for those brands, including when it’s time to renew.

A lot of the setup work is already done. We have a list of more than 1,200 craft and hobby brands that fit our audience, sponsorship packages for brands and for our newsletter, and a system for tracking sponsors. Once a deal is signed, my team handles delivering everything the sponsor paid for.

Pay is commission, a percentage of each sponsorship you bring in. The job is fully remote.

This is a good fit if you already sell sponsorships or ad space for newsletters, podcasts, events or trade shows, or if you have contacts at craft brands.
