Our Offer
ESMG North America is based in Tampa, FL – but our partners and potential clients are all over USA and Canada. As we are looking to build a solid market presence in North America, we have a very exciting future ahead of us. EliteProspects is already a trusted brand, but we’re not satisfied until we are one of the strongest online brands in hockey.
We offer a fun and exciting position with lots of potential for growth in a positive, entrepreneurial company culture. Ideally, you are willing to be based in our Tampa office. You can expect monthly travel to visit clients and potential partners across the continent.
As our Ad Sales Manager, you will be an early addition to a growing North American staff and will have no hierarchies to worry about as you report directly to our U.S. CEO. Your passion for hockey is important (it’s the core DNA of EliteProspects!) but a proven track record within digital sales and a drive to create revenue and strengthen our commercial brand is what will ultimately generate success.
We offer a competitive base salary and attractive commission incentives. We also offer health benefits, flexible hours and the world-famous Swedish policy: five weeks of paid vacation per year.
NOTE: Valid permission to live and work in the U.S. is required for this position.
