About this role
There's a discrepancy in this job listing that you should be aware of before applying. The role is listed as a volunteer position, yet it offers a competitive salary of $70,000–$80,000 plus uncapped commission. These details contradict each other—volunteer roles are unpaid by definition. You'll want to clarify with the hiring team whether this is actually a paid position or if the employment type was marked incorrectly.
Assuming this is a paid role, you'd be joining Grandstand's sales team in Charlotte as a Sales Associate focused on business development and client acquisition. The position involves outbound prospecting, qualifying leads, building client relationships, and supporting the commercial team through the sales cycle. You'd work across multiple channels—phone, email, LinkedIn—maintain CRM records, and attend industry events. The hybrid arrangement requires three days in the office weekly, plus travel to conferences and networking events across the US.
This role targets early-career professionals with at least one year of client-facing experience in sales, business development, recruitment, or customer success. You'll need strong communication skills, self-motivation, and genuine interest in sports and igaming—the latter is listed as essential. The compensation structure includes base salary, uncapped commission, comprehensive benefits, professional development support, and a flexible work environment. It's designed for someone ambitious and eager to build sales skills within a fast-growing industry.
