  • Work with marketing and events teams on pricing and packaging.
  • Represent ETA at events and keep CRM records and forecasts current.

What you'll bring

  • A proven record of sourcing your own pipeline and closing new business.
  • Experience in sponsorship, membership, B2B, partnership, or association sales, with quota attainment.
  • Ability to manage full sales cycles independently across many accounts.
  • Strong consultative selling, negotiation, and presentation skills.
  • Event sponsorship or membership sales experience preferred; familiarity with the technology or AI ecosystem is a plus.
  • Strong self-management and time management skills.
  • CRM proficiency and data-driven forecasting.
  • Willingness to travel.
