We are Two Circles, a pioneering commercial sales resource for iconic sports and entertainment brands globally.

Our mission is to build an inclusive business that creates life-enriching opportunities for our team.

With over $1.2bn in sponsorship rights led and closed, including recent record-breaking deals for UEFA Women's Football, the All Blacks and Mercedes F1, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner in the industry.

  • You will manage and build trusted relationships with decision-makers at global brands worldwide.
  • You will influence senior business decision-makers across different sectors and markets globally.
  • You will execute competitive processes, resulting in the negotiation and conclusion of high-profile sponsorship deals.
  • We seek a candidate with a proven track record of delivering multiple sizeable sponsorship deals with premium global rights holders in sport or entertainment.
  • High levels of influence and persuasion, as well as experience in negotiation, are essential.
  • Experience working across different countries, cultures, and time zones is highly desirable.

We offer a competitive salary of around $100,000 - $120,000 per year, depending on location and experience.
