Sales Business Development Executive (Contract) - Global Sport Professionals
Location: London Area, United Kingdom
(On-site / Hybrid options for the right candidate)
Type: Contract — Full-Time
Compensation: Base + Unlimited Commission (uncapped earning potential)
Reports to: CEO
Company Description
Global Sport Professionals (GSP) is dedicated to shaping the future of sport through advanced technology solutions. The company offers AI-powered training tools for football clubs, comprehensive club administration platforms, and a sports e-commerce rewards system. By integrating these services, GSP connects, develops, and empowers football professionals around the world. Team members collaborate with clubs, players, and organisations to enhance performance, streamline operations, and create new value in the global football ecosystem.
We are growing fast, and we're building a sales team to match. This is a genuine opportunity to join an early-stage, high-growth sports-tech company and be rewarded directly for the value you bring.
We believe great sales talent should have an unlimited ceiling on what they can earn.
Role Description
This is a contract, commission-driven Sales Business Development Executive role focused on selling GSP's full product suite into football clubs, academies, federations, and sports organisations — across both B2B (club and organisational sales) and B2B2C (rewards, e-commerce, and player/parent-facing propositions) channels.
Reasons to use Rodeo

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
