- Support the adoption of CRM platforms, outreach tools, and consistent data standards in collaboration with revenue systems specialists.
- Partner with revenue marketing teams to coordinate campaigns and ensure marketing initiatives reinforce sales strategies and venue revenue objectives.
- Identify sales execution gaps, staffing requirements, training opportunities, and venue-specific challenges, developing practical solutions to improve performance.
- Build local team capabilities by sharing best practices, developing sales skills, and encouraging greater independence in premium sales execution.
- Monitor and report performance against premium revenue goals for each assigned venue, identifying trends and opportunities for improvement.
- Share regional insights, successful strategies, and lessons learned with sales performance leadership to support continuous improvement across the organization.
- Establish and maintain strong working relationships with venue partners, internal stakeholders, and regional leadership teams.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with revenue marketing, revenue systems, and data teams to improve sales effectiveness and maximize commercial results.

- Demonstrated ability to consistently meet or exceed sales quotas, revenue targets, and key performance indicators.
- Experience using CRM platforms such as Salesforce, Microsoft Office applications, and other sales technology tools to manage pipelines, maintain accurate records, and generate performance reports.
- Previous experience managing partner relationships and supporting partner success in a collaborative environment.
- Strong coaching and mentoring abilities, with the capacity to develop sales teams and improve their performance through structured guidance and practical training.
- Excellent verbal and written communication, presentation, and negotiation skills, including the ability to engage effectively with clients, executives, and internal stakeholders.
- Strong organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities independently in a fast-paced, results-oriented environment.
- A proactive, self-motivated, and performance-driven approach to sales leadership, problem-solving, and continuous improvement.
