Full Job Description

Location: Dallas–Fort Worth (Hybrid)

Reports To: Race Director / Leadership Team

Position Type: Full-Time (Base Salary + Performance-Based Commission)

General Description

As we continue to strengthen our position and expand our presence within the industry, Racing Systems is experiencing significant growth across its ecosystem. To support this exciting momentum, we are seeking a dynamic, experienced, and community-driven leader to join our team as Manager, Community and Brand Partnerships & Activations.

We don’t just produce races, we create high-energy, community-driven experiences that bring people together through movement and connection.

This role sits at the intersection of revenue growth, brand partnerships, and community engagement, owning the full lifecycle from sponsorship sales to race-day execution and post-event impact.

We’re looking for a high-energy, relationship-driven professional who can identify opportunities, secure partnerships, ignite activations, and ensure flawless execution in a fast-paced environment.

This role is for someone who knows that execution matters as much as the sale and who is passionate about building partnerships that elevate the athlete experience.

Key Responsibilities:

Sponsorship Sales & Revenue Growth

Own and exceed annual sponsorship revenue targets across all endurance events
Develop and execute a strategic, results-driven sponsorship sales plan
Prospect, pitch, and close local, regional, and national brand partnerships
Create and sell innovative sponsorship packages (multi-event, multi-year, title, presenting, exclusivity, VIP experiences, on-course activations)
Build and manage a strong sales pipeline from prospecting through renewal
Clearly articulate ROI, audience reach, and brand exposure to partners
Step in where needed because in endurance events, teamwork and adaptability win the race

Community Engagement & Run Club Activations

Lead development of community-first activations that extend beyond race day
Build relationships with run clubs, ambassadors, fitness communities, and local businesses
Create consistent, high-energy engagement touchpoints in key markets
Integrate sponsors into authentic, community-driven experiences
Manage or support and grow ambassador and grassroots engagement programs

Partnership Management & Retention

Serve as the primary relationship owner for all sponsors
Deliver exceptional partner experiences from onboarding through post-event recap
Drive sponsor retention, renewals, and upsell opportunities
Build long-term, strategic partnerships vs. transactional deals
Lead post-event reporting, demonstrating value and setting up future growth

Event Activations & Experience

Design and execute high-energy, on-brand, and interactive sponsor activations
Oversee all sponsor touchpoints including expos, on-course integrations, and finish line experiences
Ensure flawless execution of all deliverables with strong attention to detail and timelines
Collaborate cross-functionally with Race Director and Operations to ensure seamless integration
Own sponsor activation quality, engagement, and overall experience impact

Qualifications and Skills:

Bachelor’s degree in business, Marketing, Sports Management, or related field
5–8+ years of experience in sponsorship sales, partnerships, or event marketing
Experience in endurance events, sports, or live event environments strongly preferred
Clearly articulate ROI, brand exposure, and audience reach to prospective sponsors
Proven track record of exceeding new business and partnership retention goals while driving consistent revenue growth
Exceptional communication, relationship-building, and organizational skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-energy environment
Valid driver’s license, clean driving record, and ability to lift 50+ pounds
First Aid/CPR certification (or willingness to obtain)
Willingness to work race weekends, early mornings, holidays, and travel as needed

Note:

To keep this role focused on sales and partnerships, the following responsibilities will remain with Operations and Race Directors:

Permitting, course design, and safety planning
Coordination with police, EMS, vendors, and volunteers
Event logistics (load-in/load-out, equipment management)
Final decision-making on race operations and activation feasibility

Benefits:

Full-time team members receive:
Competitive compensation + performance incentives
Group health insurance
Paid time off + company holidays
Professional development opportunities
Racing Systems Inc. is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Pay: Up to $60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Health insurance
Health savings account
Paid time off
