Franchise Sales Manager (US Market)

We are Sportika Labs – a company that builds and operates franchised football (soccer) academies.

We have recently secured investment to launch our project in the US market. That’s why we’re hiring a Franchise Sales Manager to join our new US-focused team.

We believe this is a unique opportunity to:

• work in the sports industry
• contribute to the future of youth sports
• join a project at the market expansion stage (US)
• influence business growth, not just “close deals”

We already have:

• a proven business model
• scaling experience
• resources to grow

Now we need someone who can drive this forward.

What you’ll be doing:

• Selling franchise licenses in the US market (key KPI: number of franchisees onboarded)
• Working with different customer types (sports professionals, parents, entrepreneurs) and adapting to their motivations and decision‑making styles
• Handling inbound leads: qualification, calls, and online meetings
• Managing the full sales cycle: from first contact to contract signing
• Delivering product presentations (Zoom / Google Meet), including financial model breakdowns
• Working in CRM: tracking leads, managing deals, ensuring data quality

What we expect:

• Fluent English+Spanish/Russian
• 3+ years of experience selling franchises / licenses / complex products (full‑cycle sales) in international markets (US experience is a plus)
• Experience selling and negotiating in English and/or Spanish
• Ability to work with different customer personas and adapt communication accordingly
• Strong understanding of CRM and sales funnels (stages, conversions, metrics)
• Availability to work US time zones
• Self‑driven, able to deeply understand the product (not just follow scripts)
• Experience in startups or scaling‑stage projects
• Interest in sports / football / youth‑focused products

What we offer:

• Base salary + KPI bonus + commission (average total compensation: ~$4,000/month)
• Fully remote, full‑time (Mon–Fri)
• Contractor employee mode
• Paid vacation
• Opportunity to join an international project at the scaling stage
• Growth opportunities within the company
