The Role
We're looking for a Commercial Partnerships Executive to identify, pitch, and close sponsorship opportunities on behalf of the Belles. You'll be selling a genuinely compelling proposition - matchday sponsorship, kit and stadium branding, hospitality packages, and bespoke partnership opportunities - to local businesses, national brands, and everyone in between.
This is a commission-only role, ideal for a confident self-starter who wants to control their own earnings and work flexibly, backed by the credibility and community goodwill of a much-loved football club.
You'll be responsible for:
- Proactively identifying and approaching prospective sponsors and commercial partners across Doncaster and the wider region
- Pitching and closing a range of partnership packages, from matchday sponsorship to season-long commercial deals
- Building genuine, lasting relationships with local businesses who share our values
- Working closely with the club's commercial team to tailor packages that work for both the partner and the club
- Keeping accurate records of your pipeline and activity
About The Candidate
About You
- Proven experience in sales, business development, or sponsorship - sports or media sales experience is a bonus but not essential
- A natural relationship-builder who's comfortable picking up the phone and meeting people face to face
- Self-motivated and resilient, with the drive to manage your own pipeline and hit targets without close supervision
- Genuinely personable, professional, and proud to represent a community football club with national exposure
- Based in or familiar with the Doncaster area, with a good understanding of the local & national business landscape within football
Why Join Us
- Uncapped commission - your effort translates directly into your earnings
- Be part of a proud, historic club at a pivotal point in its rebuild
- Flexible, self-employed working style - fit the role around your life
- Warm introductions from a club with real community reach and goodwill
- Direct support from a small, ambitious team who'll back you all the way
If you're a natural closer who loves the idea of helping rebuild a historic football club - and you want your hard work to pay off directly - we'd love to hear from you.
