Vice President, International Partnership Sales

Are you ready to shape the future of global entertainment and connect passionate fans with the worlds they adore? RTS Management, Inc. stands at the exciting crossroads of gaming, creators, and brands, crafting unforgettable experiences from thrilling live events to bespoke branded content. As we expand our reach around the globe, particularly with the explosive growth of Evo, the world’s premier fighting game tournament, we are seeking an exceptional leader. We need a visionary Vice President, International Partnership Sales, who can dramatically scale our commercial engine beyond the US, driving meaningful partnerships and unlocking incredible revenue potential across diverse international markets. This is a fully remote, worldwide opportunity.

Overview

This pivotal role is designed for a senior leader who possesses extensive connections and a truly solutions oriented approach. You will be instrumental in generating new business for Evo’s rapidly expanding international events. Your scope will also encompass the broader RTS portfolio across vital markets such as Europe, Asia Pacific, LATAM, and other non US territories. This is far from a transactional sales position; it demands strategic thinking, deep relationship building, and an understanding of nuanced cultural landscapes to forge impactful, long term partnerships.

Identify, cultivate, and close high value sponsorship and media partnerships with leading brands across target international markets.

Analyze market trends, competitive landscapes, and audience insights to identify new commercial opportunities.
Drive revenue growth and achieve ambitious sales targets for international events and content initiatives.
Act as a brand ambassador for RTS and Evo, representing our values and vision in diverse international settings.
Provide strategic input and market intelligence to senior leadership to inform future international business development.

Requirements

Extensive senior level experience in partnership sales, business development, or strategic alliances, with a strong focus on international markets.
Proven track record of exceeding sales targets and building substantial revenue streams in a relevant industry (for example, gaming, esports, live events, media, entertainment, sports).
A robust professional network within the global brand, agency, and media landscape, particularly across Europe and Asia Pacific.
Deep understanding of enthusiast culture, gaming, content creators, and brand marketing strategies in diverse international contexts.
Exceptional negotiation, communication, and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex value propositions.
Strategic mindset with the capacity to identify opportunities, develop innovative solutions, and manage a complex sales pipeline.
Fluency in multiple languages is a significant advantage, reflecting our global reach.
Ability to thrive in a fast paced, dynamic, and evolving remote work environment.

A chance to work with an incredibly passionate, innovative, and supportive team dedicated to creating meaningful fan experiences.
A leadership role where your strategic vision and commercial acumen will directly translate into tangible international expansion and success.
