Role Summary

We are looking for an experienced sponsorship and partnerships professional to lead sponsor acquisition for our upcoming fashion show. The ideal candidate has a proven track record of identifying, pitching, and closing brand sponsorships, and is comfortable owning targets end-to-end — from prospecting to contract sign-off.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and pitch tailored sponsorship packages and proposals to prospective partners.
• Own the full sales cycle — outreach, negotiation, and closing — to meet or exceed sponsorship revenue targets.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with sponsors, brand managers, and marketing teams.
• Coordinate with the event and marketing teams to ensure sponsor deliverables (branding, stage presence, media mentions, etc.) are fulfilled.
• Prepare sponsorship decks, contracts, and post-event reports for partners.
• Track outreach, pipeline, and revenue against targets, and report progress regularly.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in sponsorship sales, business development, partnerships, or a related field (events, media, or fashion industry experience preferred).
• Demonstrated track record of closing sponsorship or B2B sales deals.
• Strong network and relationship-building skills within brand and marketing circles.
• Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills.
• Self-driven, target-oriented, and comfortable working with deadlines tied to a live event.
• Prior experience in fashion, events, or entertainment industry sponsorships is a strong plus.

What We Offer

• Competitive fixed salary plus performance-based incentives on sponsorship closures.
• Opportunity to work closely with a growing fashion education brand and its flagship event.
• Direct exposure to fashion, retail, and lifestyle brand marketing teams.
