Requirements:
- 3+ years sales experience in the sports-tech and/or sports industry

- A large/strong enough NA soccer network to generate 50+ qualified opportunities in the first 6 months

- Positive, intelligent, analytical, and solutions-oriented persona who can contribute to, and grow with, the business
