We need a dynamic, creative person to sell sponsorships for a wide variety of attractive initiatives and properties. The most immediate initiative involves selling sponsorship for the prestigious World Technology Awards presented by the World Technology Network (“The WTN”).
The mission of the WTN (www.wtn.net) is to identify and create a community of those doing the most innovative work in science and technology and related fields across the globe, to share and explore the implications of the work of those innovators and, in doing so, to help humanity create a better future. The WTN has been in global operation since 2000 and, although small, is a highly prestigious entity. Media Partners have included TIME, Fortune, CNN, The Economist, CNBC, and the Los Angeles Times. Sponsors have included Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange/NYSE, Accenture, Microsoft, Cisco, among many others.
For the World Technology Awards category sponsorships, we want them in place, ideally, by mid-/end-September. Each or the 30 award sponsorships will we sold for only under $10,000 (in discretionary budget/fast decision range). Preference to have you start asap to get up a good momentum prior to “slower period” after mid-August.
To get a better taste of the high-level/extraordinary people involved in our work, here are some links to the most recent Awards announcement events:

Media and organizational partnership research and development is also part of this position. Such partnerships in our experience can dramatically add to the reach of our work as well as open doors for sponsor sales efforts.
NOTE: The chairman/founder of the WTN has other projects that have sponsorship possibilities as well. Some are under the umbrella of the WTN. Others are independent. All are highly compelling. Those can be discussed in the interview process.
You will work from home, but will meet ideally in person or by videoconference regularly for short update/planning meetings.
Job Responsibilities:
• Develop sponsorship sales strategy, sales materials, and implement successfully.
• Conduct research to identify sponsor prospects.
• Create sponsor prospects database.
• Create ‘legacy’ or ‘retention’ plans for sponsors (e.g. multi-year sponsorships, ‘Ambassador’ programs and referral programs).
• Coordinate with other team members to ensure sponsor agreements are fully honored.
• Research and create media and other partnerships with prestigious brands.
Experience: At least 2-3 years of PROVEN track record raising sponsorship. Able to explain how your previous work will enable you to handle the responsibilities listed above.
Skills/Strengths: Highly articulate (spoken and written). Passionate about exploring the future, particularly as concerns science and technology. Innovative problem solver with strong sense of self-initiaitive.
NOTE: We are a very small yet prestigious organization without large financial resources. This job would be paid through a small project fee plus a revenue-share. We are about to undertake a period of expansion (more events, services, sponsor-able properties) and would like to continue working with you as we expand… if you are doing well and on a roll.
PLEASE SEND: resume/CV and cover letter explaining why you feel you’d be great at (and excited by) this challenge.
