Vasaloppet is the world's largest long-distance ski race. The first race was held in 1922 and the classic 90 km long route between Berga village in Sälen and Mora was for a long time the only ski race. For over 100 years, nearly 2 million participants have skied, run, or cycled in the Fäders Spår for future victories and passed the finish line in Mora. We are owned by IFK Mora Idrottsallians and Sälens IF, and together with our volunteers and other non-profit forces, we are a driving force for public health and community life. Vasaloppet is an attractive employer and an important player for the local community. As an employee with us, you have both great responsibility and significant authority. Based on our culture and long tradition, and with Vasaloppet's strong brand behind us, we look forward and create innovation in both small and large ways. Our sponsors and partners are important pieces in the execution and development of our events. Together, we create added value and business benefits through clear goals, creative activations, and communication year-round. Our vision is to get Sweden moving, and we want to provide people with challenges and experiences that create memories for life.

Your Responsibilities

In the role of Key Account Manager Sponsorship, you have overall responsibility for several of our sponsorship collaborations – from our smaller partnerships to main sponsors. You are responsible for the entire process, from establishing sponsorship agreements to setting goals and driving the work forward within that specific sponsorship collaboration. You are responsible for financial follow-up and the implementation of new sponsors into the organization. An important part of the role is also to project manage various activities that create value and business benefits for both sponsors and Vasaloppet.

You nurture and develop long-term relationships and ensure that the collaborations work well for all parties – our sponsors, our organization, and our events – and that we deliver according to agreements. Together with colleagues, you also contribute to driving and developing Vasaloppet as a sponsorship right. An important part of the assignment is to continuously strengthen and develop the collaboration between Vasaloppet and our sponsors through value-creating initiatives. Sustainability is a natural part of your work, where you contribute to further developing and implementing Vasaloppet's sustainability work related to sponsorship. You are part of the marketing and sponsorship team and report to the marketing manager.
