ABOUT THE ROLE
As an Account Executive, Premium Sales you’ll own a pipeline of corporate and individual prospects and drive new premium seating revenue for the Tampa Bay Rays’ new ballpark — selling suites, clubs, and premium seats years before the first pitch. Reporting to the Manager of Ticket Sales, you’ll be one of the first faces the Tampa Bay business community meets for this project, walking clients through the vision in our premium sales center and turning renderings into long-term commitments. Every agreement you close builds the foundation of a ballpark designed to set new MLB benchmarks — and shows what a Legends Global partnership delivers.
As part of the hiring process, select candidates may be asked to attend an in-person hiring event in Tampa, FL.
