Sponsor Manager

Description

We have a bold vision to arrange the largest TEDx-event ever. To succeed, we need the brightest minds - we need you! In December 2020 (digital) and June 2021 (arena), we will host another batch of great speakers that will touch upon all sorts of ideas worth spreading.This is your chance to meet them in person and to work with the best sales people, companies, marketers and doers in the region. This is your chance to make things happen!

Without the sponsorship manager, there would be no event. The rest of the team have you to thank that the party gets paid for. During the event, you can smile and tell your friends that you paid for it, because you did, by closing sponsorship deals. You will build valuable relationships with CEOs and upper-level management of international firms. You will also sharpen your sales acumen through training, coaching and hands-on tasks experience.
