Commercial Lead

Win sponsors, partners and event business for GridIQ and TAGIR.

1 opening Abuja office Full-time proposed Reports to Founder / CEO Around 5+ years
  • Prospect, pitch, negotiate and close.
  • Build sponsorship and partnership packages.
  • Coordinate our sales associates.
  • Around 5+ years of results in sales, media, events or financial services.
Full details

The role

Personally prospect, pitch, negotiate and close business while coordinating assigned sales and marketing associates. Sponsorships, event business, advertising and commercial partnerships are core priorities; intelligence and advisory sales will be pursued where an approved offering and delivery capacity exist. You will agree a focused commercial plan with the Founder / CEO and help develop the sales process and propositions.

What you will do

  • Identify target organisations and decision-makers, and turn buyer needs into clear proposals.
  • Own opportunities from prospecting through negotiation, approved agreement and handover; develop repeat business and renewals.
  • Maintain an accurate pipeline with values, stages and next actions, and give realistic forecasts.
  • Develop sponsorship packages with defined audience value, benefits, deliverables, pricing and measures of success.
  • Win sponsors and commercial participation for events; brief associates and coordinate campaign pages with the website administrator.
  • Review scope, margin and payment terms with Finance and delivery colleagues, and support timely invoicing and collections.
  • Protect editorial independence: sponsorship must never promise favourable coverage or influence over editorial conclusions.

Who we are looking for

  • Evidence of personally winning business, growing accounts or delivering commercial targets.
  • Some direct experience in sponsorship acquisition, commercial partnerships or the commercial side of events.
  • Strong prospecting, proposal writing, presentation, negotiation and consistent follow-up; confident with senior decision-makers.
  • Commercial numeracy covering pricing, margins and payment terms.
  • Typically five or more years of relevant experience. Results and responsibility matter more than previous title. Energy-sector knowledge is helpful but not essential.
  • Background welcome from banking and financial services, media agencies, print or digital media, advertising, events or professional services.

What success looks like

30 days: review offerings and opportunities; agree priorities, targets and a pipeline baseline. 60 days: consistent outreach and qualified proposals progressing. 90 days: evidence of opportunity progression and sales against agreed milestones.

How to apply

Submit a CV and examples of business won, your sponsorship / event / partnership contribution, and a difficult deal you progressed. Selection may include a short commercial case and references. Work arrangement and compensation to be agreed.
