We need someone who knows how not just to sell, but to create a circle of the right people, events, and relationships around the brand.

This is a role for someone who loves movement, communication, challenging clients, unconventional approaches, and knows how to be a source of opportunities themselves, rather than waiting for them to appear out of nowhere.

The format is negotiable, but the role implies a high level of personal involvement and active “field” work.

Income: fixed part + bonuses / percentages based on results.

Remuneration level is discussed individually.
