Sales Sponsorship Manager

FISE (Festival International des Sports Extrêmes) is the world's leading urban sports league — a global celebration of BMX, Skateboarding, Scooter, Parkour, Breaking, and more.

Founded and produced by the HURRICANE Group, FISE brings together thousands of athletes and millions of fans through a fast-growing global event series and digital ecosystem.

The Hurricane Group is also a global leader in urban sports infrastructure, delivering parks and facilities at the world's biggest competitions — including Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024.

With an ambitious growth roadmap ahead, we're looking for a Sales Sponsorship Manager to expand our global partner network and bring more brands into the FISE universe.

As Sales Sponsorship Manager, you will be 100% focused on new business. Your role is to identify, engage, and close new sponsorship deals — not manage existing clients.

You'll be a driving force behind our commercial growth, introducing bold and relevant brands to one of the most creative, youth-driven sports properties on the planet.

Sponsorship Sales & Closing

Bonus Points

• Fluency in French, Spanish, or Chinese

• Knowledge of the global sponsorship landscape and brand decision-making processes
