Job description

Overview

CFO Connect is building Europe's most influential community for finance leaders—and we need a commercial leader to turn that influence into sustainable growth. We need someone to turn that momentum into a predictable, scalable revenue engine. You will sell integrated packages (events, content, digital, community) to B2B brands in the finance ecosystem, build a repeatable sales engine, and manage relationships with key sponsors.

Key Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end sponsorship sales: prospecting, pitching, proposals, negotiation, closing and renewals

• Work significant inbound interest and run targeted outbound to priority accounts (FinTech, SaaS, financial services)

• Package and price integrated sponsorship offers across events, webinars, content, newsletter/website, and community/Pro tier

• Manage and grow relationships with anchor sponsors (e.g. Deel, Stripe) and secure new tier‑one partners

• Build and optimise the sponsorship sales “machine”: target lists, prospecting cadence, pricing & packaging, and basic reporting.

• Own sponsorship marketing collateral including pitch decks and website content

• Maintain strong pipeline and accurate forecasting in CRM

• Collaborate with community team to ensure high-quality delivery and clear ROI for sponsors

What we're looking for

• 3–6+ years in B2B sponsorship / media sales (events, trade media, B2B publisher, or community/media brand)

• Experience selling integrated, multi‑channel packages (events + content + digital)

• Confident selling to senior stakeholders (VP/C‑level Marketing, Partnerships, Sales, Founders)

• Strong hunter mentality: comfortable as a largely standalone seller, building and managing your own book of business

• Excellent commercial storytelling and negotiation skills, able to defend and grow pricing

• Highly organized, disciplined with pipeline management and follow-up

• Fluent English

As we are an international team, please submit your application and CV in English.
