[Hiring] Promotional Products Expert @Stadium

Role Description

This isn't a catalog-order role. We're looking for a senior promotional products professional with a sales-oriented mindset who brings deep industry knowledge, strong vendor relationships, and the instincts to grow and land deals. You'll own deals from initiation to delivered in full, and build relationships that last. You'll act as a strategic partner to our customers, and you'll help shape how our team operates as we scale. If you've spent years in the promo space, have a track record of hitting and exceeding revenue goals, and are energized by the idea of having real impact on a growing company, we want to hear from you.

Stadium is based in New York City, but this would be a remote position.
