About KSA Events

KSA Events is a premier provider of student-athlete travel experiences, specializing in organizing competitive athletic events, tournaments, and training opportunities for high school teams from across the country. For over 30 years, KSA Events has partnered with athletic directors, coaches, and schools to design trips that combine elite-level competition, team bonding, and unforgettable travel experiences.

While our flagship events take place in Florida, KSA Events also proudly hosts competitions in Hawaii, New York, Denver, Southern California, Boston, Washington D.C., and other major cities. These destinations give student-athletes the opportunity to challenge themselves against national competition while creating lasting memories with their teammates.

Beyond the competition, we focus on providing seamless, full-service experiences — from scheduling and logistics to accommodations, training, and on-site support — so that coaches and players can focus on what matters most: the game.

At KSA Events, we believe sports have the power to inspire growth, build character, and strengthen communities, and our mission is to deliver experiences that do exactly that.

KSA Events is seeking a Sales Manager to join our growing team! This role is ideal for a driven, relationship-focused professional who is passionate about sports, travel, and helping student-athletes access high-quality competitive experiences.

As a Sales Manager, you will be responsible for generating new business, building relationships with schools and athletic programs, and guiding clients through the sales process — from initial outreach through signed agreement. You’ll work closely with marketing, operations, and account management teams to ensure a smooth transition from sale to execution.

This is a hybrid role. For most of the year, you will work remotely focusing on outreach, prospecting, and relationship development. During peak event seasons, you may spend time onsite supporting events, strengthening relationships with clients, and representing KSA Events in person at tradeshows and athletic clinics in different parts of the country.

KSA Events operates around three primary event seasons each year:

• Spring: March – April
• Fall: Late August – Early September
• Winter: December – Early January

During these seasons, the Sales Manager will attend events onsite to support client relationships and assist with event execution as needed. Outside of live event weeks, the role follows a standard work schedule with some flexibility for evening calls with coaches, athletic directors, booster members and families. Any nontraditional hours are flexed within the normal workday.

We are seeking candidates based in Mountain Standard Time - or in California or Florida. Training will be March 15 - April 1st.
