Description
Junior Sales Executive – Northern Europe (Amsterdam)
Are you a recent graduate with the ambition to work in a sales and account management context in the sports industry? Then this is your opportunity to do so. You will learn everything there is to know about Opta data and related Stats Perform media products. And subsequently pitch, advise, quote, negotiate, contract and, most importantly, build strong relationships with the biggest names in sport media.
Dedicated to Client Success
As a Junior Sales Executive you take the lead in the entire sales process of Stats Perform media services (i.e. sports data, widgets, news, etc.). This is a proactive role in which you are the main contact for the client accounts under your care, making sure our clients reach the goals they want to achieve with our products. These clients can be broadcasters, publishers, professional (football) clubs, leagues, etc. The processes of contract renewal, contract upgrades and finding new business are your responsibility.
This is what you will do:
- Learn everything there is to know about the relevant Stats Perform products to be able to confidently advise clients and prospects
- Take charge of the entire sales process from finding new leads and building a pipeline to eventually contracting agreed services
- Building (or expanding) your network in the sports (media) industry
- Help create sales plans and market analyses for specific target markets and ‘go-to-market’ plans for new products
- Keep track of and report on progress within the sales pipeline, being able to accurately forecast expected results
One Team
You will be working from the Dutch office across from the Amsterdam Amstel station and will be reporting into the local sales leader. However, you will be part of the wider Northern Europe sales team and will be responsible for sourcing and progressing leads in multiple territories in the region. This also means traveling to meet clients and colleagues (when travel restrictions allow), especially in the Benelux and Nordics.
This is what we offer:
- 40 hours per week as part of the Northern European Sales team
- Hybrid working and (partly) working from home is an option
- Initial 6 months to get to grips with the products and build a pipeline against a base salary.
- After the initial 6 months a sales quotum will be introduced and commission will be paid on all sales on top of the base salary
