HypeX is an upcoming large-scale creator, entertainment and culture festival being planned for Delhi NCR.

The festival will bring together creators, artists, brands, music, comedy, gaming, food, lifestyle experiences and immersive brand activations under one high-energy platform built for the creator generation.

• 20,000+ expected attendees
• 500+ invited and participating creators
• 25+ featured artists, creators and performers
• 100+ brands, exhibitors and strategic partners
• Multiple entertainment, creator and experience zones

We are now building the founding sponsorship sales team that will take HypeX to leading consumer brands, startups, agencies and corporate partners.

The Sponsorship Sales Specialist will be responsible for identifying, developing and closing sponsorship and partnership opportunities for HypeX.

This is a high-ownership, revenue-focused role for someone who enjoys opening doors, speaking with decision-makers, building long-term relationships and converting conversations into meaningful commercial partnerships.

You will manage the complete sales cycle—from prospecting and initial outreach to proposal development, negotiation, closure and payment follow-up.

You will also work closely with the leadership, marketing, creative and operations teams to create customised sponsorship solutions aligned with each brand’s objectives.

• Event sponsorship packages
• Brand and category partnerships
• Experience-zone sponsorships
• Creator-led brand integrations
• Exhibition stalls and premium booths
• On-ground brand activations
• Media and strategic collaborations
• Hospitality, travel and gifting partnerships
• Customised brand engagement opportunities
  

• Identify and approach potential sponsors, brands, agencies and corporate partners.
• Build a strong sales pipeline through calls, emails, LinkedIn outreach, referrals and field meetings.
• Research prospects and identify the right decision-makers across marketing, brand, media and partnerships teams.
• Understand each brand’s objectives and recommend relevant HypeX sponsorship opportunities.
• Prepare and present customised sponsorship proposals and commercial packages.
• Conduct online and face-to-face meetings with prospective partners.
• Negotiate commercials, deliverables and partnership terms.
• Manage the complete sales cycle from first contact to agreement and collection.
• Coordinate internally to ensure sponsorship commitments are clearly documented and delivered.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, follow-up schedules, pipeline reports and revenue forecasts.
• Build long-term sponsor relationships for future HypeX editions and related properties.
• Track market trends, competitor events and emerging partnership opportunities.
  

We are especially interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:

Events | Exhibitions | Media Sales | Advertising | Influencer Marketing | Experiential Marketing | Corporate Sales | Hospitality Sales | Brand Partnerships | Strategic Alliances | Digital Marketing | SaaS Sales

• Strong experience in sponsorship sales, business development, partnerships or B2B sales.
• Demonstrated ability to meet or exceed revenue targets.
• Experience in prospecting, lead generation and qualifying business opportunities.
• Strong communication, presentation, negotiation and objection-handling skills.
• Ability to create and sell customised sponsorship solutions.
• Comfort engaging with senior marketing, brand and business decision-makers.
• Strong relationship-building and follow-up capabilities.
• Ability to manage multiple prospects and sales opportunities simultaneously.
• Experience using CRM tools, sales trackers and pipeline reports.
• Strong ownership, persistence and commercial judgement.
• Ability to work from office in Janakpuri and attend meetings across Delhi NCR.

Experience in events, media, advertising, influencer marketing, experiential marketing, hospitality or SaaS will be an advantage.

A bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, communications or a related field is preferred, but equivalent practical sales experience will be valued equally.

You will not be joining as another salesperson in a large, established sales team.

You will be joining early and helping build the commercial foundation of a new festival property.

You will have the opportunity to:

• Work directly with the leadership team
• Take ownership of high-value brand accounts
• Build relationships with leading brands and agencies
• Influence sponsorship strategy and package development
• Receive direct recognition for the partnerships you close
• Grow into a senior sales or partnerships leadership role
• Be part of future HypeX editions and related event properties
