Position Type: Part-Time, Commission-Based Independent Contractor

Compensation: Uncapped commissions, performance bonuses, and potential renewal commissions

Position Overview

The Proposed ROK Sports Complex is seeking motivated sales and business-development professionals to help secure corporate sponsorships, strategic partnerships, naming-rights agreements, founding partners, hospitality relationships, and event sponsors.

These positions will begin as part-time, commission-based opportunities. Representatives will be paid commissions on qualifying partnership and sponsorship revenue they personally generate and that is collected by the organization.

This is not an unpaid volunteer position. Successful representatives will have the opportunity to earn meaningful income through commissions while helping build the corporate partnership division of the ROK Sports Complex.

Top-performing representatives may be considered for future full-time sales, account-management, director, or leadership positions as the organization grows. A transition to full-time employment will be based on individual performance, revenue production, professionalism, organizational needs, and available funding. A future full-time position is an opportunity and is not guaranteed.
