Core Responsibilities
1. Revenue Generation & Sponsorships (Commission-Earning)
• Identify, pitch, and close corporate sponsorships for our signature fundraising events (including our upcoming pro wrestling shows).
• Sell VIP packages, program advertising space, vendor booths, and bulk event ticket packages to local and regional businesses.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with community business leaders, donors, and partners.
2. Social Media & Digital Marketing (Brand Management)
• Manage and grow our social media platforms to keep our community engaged and informed.
• Create consistent, high-energy content (posts, stories, reels) highlighting our mission, upcoming events, sponsors, and community impact.
• Use our digital platforms as a tool to make sponsorship opportunities highly visible and attractive to local businesses.
3. Grant Research & Pipeline Management
• Research and identify local, state, and corporate grant opportunities that align with our mission.
• Prepare and submit compelling grant proposals to expand our funding foundation (Note: Per non-profit regulations, grant awards are restricted and not subject to commission).
Compensation, Perks & Resources
• Uncapped 20% Commission: Earn a generous 20% cut on all corporate sponsorships, vendor fees, and event partnerships you secure.
• Professional Office Access (5 Days/Month): While the day-to-day role offers the freedom of remote work, you will have access to a shared professional office space 5 days a month. This executive space is yours to leverage for hosting face-to-face pitch meetings with major corporate sponsors, filming high-quality social media content, or executing focused grant-writing sessions.
• Ultimate Flexibility: Set your own hours, work from home for the majority of the month, and run your outreach strategy like your own business.
• Make an Impact: Every dollar you bring in directly funds autism awareness and supports special needs camps.
Qualifications
• Proven experience in sales, event promotion, corporate sponsorship acquisition, or fundraising.
• Strong social media literacy (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok/Reels) with an eye for engaging content.
• Excellent written communication skills for crafting grant proposals and professional sponsor decks.
• A "hunter" mindset—someone comfortable picking up the phone, networking locally, and closing deals in a professional setting.
• Passion for non-profit work, community events, and autism acceptance is a massive plus.
