Employment: Full Time

Sponsorship Executive - Kidzania - Kuwait

KidZania, an award-winning concept, takes interactive entertainment and learning to an entirely new level by combining role playing with real life. Globally recognised for its unique blend of entertainment and education (edutainment), KidZania creates a fun children-centric city experience designed to educate and inspire children up to 14 years old - from arriving at the airport, to visiting a city centre, to exploring the city streets. KidZania replicates the real world in a safe and self-contained over 7,000 square metre children-sized city.

As in the real world, children choose activities - such as being a police officer, doctor, journalist or a shopkeeper - and earn money which they can then spend or save. KidZania operates just like a real city complete with buildings, paved streets, vehicles, a functioning economy and recognisable destinations in the form of "establishments" sponsored and branded by leading multi-national and local brands.

The facilities are designed to educate through experience, fostering the development of life skills, but from a children perspective - it's all about fun! Our staff are energetic, creative and committed to ensuring all visitors enjoy their time at the park. Above all, every employee is passionate about the land of cool kids: KidZania.

As a Sponsorship Executive for Kidzania you will present the brand concept and provide consultative support and service to existing accounts to ensure revenue growth, quality, and profitability, whilst ensuring that proper training is conducted.

This is a key role within the brand which will require strong business development skills along with an ability to achieve customer sales targets, perform quality control and coach new and existing employees.

Requirements

* Extensive business development experience within a similar role
* Experience in outdoor sales, sales management and account management
* At least 3 years' experience in a call centre or other Customer Service role
* Excellent communication skills in English
* Confidence to deliver presentations to partners and colleagues
* Flexibility in your working pattern and able to provide your own transport.
