V1 Productions is hiring a highly motivated Director, Brand Partnerships to join our dynamic team. This is a revenue-driving sales role, responsible for securing sponsorships, endorsements, brand integrations and brand partnerships across V1's premier television series, branded entertainment and media assets. The ideal candidate will have 5 years of experience in media sales, content partnerships, business development, and account management-preferably with a focus on unscripted television, music festivals, live entertainment, branded entertainment and other high-profile events. This is a full time job, and not a remote position.

This is an individual contributor role focused on new business development and revenue growth. The Director will engage with media agencies within major holding companies as well as client-direct CMOs and senior marketing executives to develop partnerships, sell integrated sponsorships and advertising solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Proactively develop new revenue opportunities and build a robust pipeline to meet and exceed annual sales goals.
• Identify, pitch, and close high-value sponsorship and brand partnership deals across V1's media stable and productions including owned assets.
• Establish and maintain strong relationships with media agencies, brand marketers, and decision-makers across key verticals (e.g., Consumer Electronics, Liquor, Wireless, Retail, Auto, Travel, CPG).
• Work closely with the SVP, Brand Partnerships, and internal teams to craft compelling go-to-market strategies.

Account & Partner Management:
• Oversee the execution of sold sponsorships, ensuring seamless integration of brand activations across television productions, branded entertainment, digital, and social platforms as well as owned media assets.
• Manage contract negotiations, renewals, and long-term partnership strategies in collaboration with legal and finance teams.
• Provide marketplace education, thought leadership, and consultative sales solutions to prospective partners.

Qualifications:

Required:
• 5 years of experience in sponsorship sales, content partnerships, media sales, or business development-preferably in unscripted television, music festivals, entertainment tentpoles, award shows, or other live event properties.
• Proven track record of closing six- and seven-figure sponsorship deals and selling into media agencies and client-direct marketers.
• Strong relationships with media agency decision-makers and brand-direct marketing executives.
• Experience negotiating complex, multi-platform, multi-year deals.
• Familiarity with CRM tools to track pipeline and revenue progress.
• Excellent presentation, communication, and negotiation skills.

Preferred:
• Ability to work across multiple time zones and manage client relationships nationwide.
• Solution-selling expertise with a strategic, consultative approach.
• Self-starter with an entrepreneurial mindset and ability to thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance sales environment.

As V1 values in-person collaboration and team cohesion, employees work onsite maintaining a vibrant and inclusive culture. Position can be based out of V1's Dallas Love Field Production House or in the Fort Worth Texas Company Headquarters.
