About Stadium

Stadium is a single platform for global recognition, swag, and gifting. Companies use Stadium to engage employees, clients, partners, and prospects through premium swag, snack boxes, and gifting–all fulfilled locally in 170+ countries. Whether companies are recognizing 1 or 1,000+, Stadium makes it easy to deliver meaningful recognition at any scale.

We’re a product-first ambitious team that’s obsessed with a united vision for taking our business to new heights. As a company, we learn fast, support each other, and focus on continuous quality and improvement for all of our customers. While our business has continually evolved over the years, our purpose has remained constant: to strengthen the bond between companies, their employees, and their customers.

Job Description

This isn't a catalog-order role. We're looking for a senior promotional products professional with a sales-oriented mindset who brings deep industry knowledge, strong vendor relationships, and the instincts to grow and land deals. You'll own deals from end to end and build relationships that last. You'll act as a strategic partner to our customers, and you'll help shape how our team operates as we scale. If you've spent years in the promo space, have a track record of hitting and exceeding revenue goals, and are energized by the idea of having real impact on a growing company, we want to hear from you.

Stadium is based in New York City, but this would be a remote position.
