Libero Sports Management is expanding its commercial business and is looking for a commercially driven Business Development & Partnerships Manager to help build a consistent pipeline of new brand and agency opportunities.
This is primarily a new-business role focused on opening doors, building relationships and turning conversations into commercial opportunities.
The successful candidate will be responsible for identifying relevant brands, agencies and decision-makers, generating new leads through calls, introductions, LinkedIn, email and networking, conducting introductory meetings, understanding client objectives, and developing opportunities around football talent, image rights, sponsorship, branded content and sports marketing.
The role will also involve coordinating proposals, following up opportunities through to negotiation, maintaining an organised CRM and building long-term relationships with brands and agencies.
We are ideally looking for someone with 3–6 years of experience in areas such as business development, advertising, sponsorship, branded content, media sales, experiential marketing, talent partnerships or sports marketing.
Existing relationships with brands and agencies are valuable, but we are especially interested in candidates who can demonstrate that they have personally opened new accounts, developed relationships from scratch and converted outreach into paid business.
Football industry experience is an advantage, but strong commercial instincts, confidence speaking with senior decision-makers and the ability to consistently generate new opportunities are more important.
The ideal candidate should be comfortable making calls, approaching people they do not already know, following up consistently, working independently and taking ownership of a commercial pipeline.
Location: Cairo, Egypt
Work model: Primarily remote, with meetings when required
Compensation: Fixed monthly salary plus uncapped performance-based commission
Interested candidates should submit their CV together with a short introduction outlining their relevant commercial experience, existing network and examples of new business they have personally generated.
