Full Job Description
As a Senior Account Executive, Strategic Accounts, North America at ScorePlay, you will drive our expansion with leagues, federations, broadcasters, and major sports organizations across the region. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role for a proven enterprise closer who wants to build an entire region. ScorePlay already has enterprise logos, a strong active pipeline, and real momentum in North America. You'll inherit live opportunities from day one, with a clear mandate to close strategic deals and scale the US sales motion. We're backed by top-tier investors with significant growth plans ahead, and this role sits at the center of our growth story. If you're the kind of person who wants to own a market, build a team, and be part of something that's genuinely transforming how the infrastructure of the entire live media industry works, this is it. Key Responsibilities 1. Sales Execution & Strategic Deal Closing • Own the full sales cycle - prospecting through negotiation and contract execution - with a focus on enterprise deals $200K+. • Manage a portfolio of 4-5 high-value accounts per year, each requiring deep strategic engagement and multi-stakeholder navigation. • Develop and execute account strategies to expand ScorePlay's footprint within sports leagues, federations, broadcasters, and governing bodies. • Consistently achieve and exceed quarterly and annual sales quotas. • Maintain accurate and detailed records in the CRM system. 2. Pipeline Development & Relationship Management • Proactively identify and pursue new business opportunities within the sports ecosystem. • Build and nurture executive-level relationships with decision-makers at leagues, federations, and strategic partners. • Leverage your network - and build new relationships - to generate referrals and expand ScorePlay's presence in strategic accounts. • Represent ScorePlay at industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities to strengthen visibility and credibility in the sports sector. 3. Team Building & Regional Leadership • Build the US Strategic Accounts team. You'll join as the senior individual contributor, recruit a team of 2+ reps, and continue to scale toward a 6-person US sales team (matching our European structure). • Coach and develop junior team members as the team grows. • Partner with leadership to define go-to-market strategy for the US market. 4. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Work closely with customer success, marketing, and product teams to ensure client needs are met and exceeded. • Share actionable market insights to influence product roadmap, marketing positioning, and customer engagement strategies. • Partner with marketing and product teams to create tailored collateral, proposals, and presentations for strategic sports clients. Qualifications • Proven success in Enterprise B2B sales, with a strong track record of closing large-scale deals ($200K+). Experience in sports, media, or technology is a plus - but not required if you bring strong enterprise sales fundamentals from SaaS. • Genuine passion for the sports industry is non-negotiable. You don't need to come from a sports company, but you need to care deeply about this space. • Sharp, curious, and technically capable : you can quickly understand a complex product and articulate its value to senior stakeholders. • Strategic and results-driven mindset, with the ability to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles and secure long-term partnerships. • Hungry and self-starting, comfortable building pipeline in a high-growth environment where you own the outcome. This position is on site with travel to client sites. We're looking for someone based in NYC (offices in Williamsburg). Why would you want this role? ScorePlay is a fast-growing startup transforming the sports industry with enterprise clients already on board and a clear path to market leadership. This isn't a "figure it out from scratch" role - there's real pipeline, real logos, and real momentum. What makes it special is the combination of day-one impact and long-term upside: you'll close meaningful deals immediately while building the function that will define ScorePlay's North American business. Compensation: • Base Salary: $165,000-170,000 • On-Target Earnings (OTE): $300,000+ • Realistic upside for top performers: $500,000+ • Uncapped Commission: No ceiling on what you can earn. Benefits: • Comprehensive health insurance • 401(k) plan • A full suite of additional benefits to support your well-being and growth We know many people hesitate to apply if they don't meet every single requirement on a job description. If you're interested in ScorePlay but not sure you tick all the boxes, we'd still love to hear from you, this could be the start of a great long-term collaboration.
