Operating on United States business hours (4pm to 12.30pm SA time), the role is structured around complete ownership of new business pipelines: systematically recruiting high-tier creators into the agency's ecosystem and securing high-value brand sponsorships. This position is built for a highly analytical, systems-oriented sales leader who balances immediate outbound sales execution with the data-driven foresight required to document standard operating procedures and scale a division.

CRM & Funnel Orchestration: Take full ownership of the sales CRM system, maintaining absolute data integrity, analysing pipeline drop-off metrics obsessively, and establishing transparent, spreadsheet-backed tracking across every funnel stage. Direct Sales Execution: Conduct comprehensive pre-call intelligence preparation and lead professional sales conversations with newly targeted creators and sponsors, consistently achieving predefined weekly call volumes. Process Documentation & Scalability: Standardise and document all successful outreach frameworks, messaging scripts, and playbooks within internal knowledge repositories (Notion) to facilitate the structural onboarding of future hires.
