OVERVIEW

Opendorse helps brands connect with college athletes to create high-impact media campaigns that reach the most engaged audiences in sports. We’re at the center of NIL—one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic spaces in the sports media industry.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a new business role—someone who’s energized by identifying opportunities, opening doors, and building meaningful partnerships from the ground up. You’ll be part of a small, entrepreneurial team focused on helping brands break into this space with thoughtful, creative campaigns.

If you’ve been a BDR, AE, or media seller and you're ready to break out into something more exciting than your current role—this could be it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Sell custom influencer solutions to brands and agencies that want to tap into the power of athletes, creators, and social media.
  
• Own the full sales cycle: Prospect, pitch, close, and grow new client relationships.
• Help educate the market on how NIL works—and how it unlocks new ways to reach fans through athletes’ audiences.
• Build and manage a pipeline of qualified leads and target accounts, with the support of a team behind you.
• Collaborate with marketing, data, and creative to craft smart, exciting campaigns that deliver results.

WHO YOU ARE

• 4–8 years of sales experience, ideally in media, brand partnerships, or influencer/creator marketing
• Strong background in new business development — you’re proactive, resourceful, and comfortable building your own pipeline
• Confident pitching to brand marketers, media buyers, and agency leads
• Creative and consultative — you don’t need a fixed product to sell
• Driven, self-starting, and motivated by hitting targets
• Excited about working in the sports and media space and ready to grow with a fast-moving team

BONUS POINTS IF YOU HAVE

• Direct experience with national brands or major media/influencer agencies
• Familiarity with NIL, creator marketing, or digital/social media campaigns
• A network you can tap into quickly to start conversations
