**About Us

**

We're Chris Collins Inc., and we operate two fast-growing media platforms: [Service Drive Revolution](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-K87KtPF5E) (32.5K subs / 2.16M views), a niche automotive podcast focused on the service side of the dealership world (fixed ops, leadership, culture, and profitability), and Syndicate X, our YouTube channel featuring the popular series [Books That Changed My Life](https://youtu.be/C1yHOxZl8ow?si=scLJnQlPoA5AM8KL&t=65) (64.5K subs / 2.61M views) Together, we reach a highly engaged audience of both industry professionals and curious, growth-minded viewers who care about ideas, leadership, and personal development.

We're building our sponsorship program from scratch. We haven't historically sold sponsorships, which means there's no legacy playbook--and a lot of room to build something real.

First 60 days: build target list + outreach engine, launch 2 -4 pilot packages, close initial partners, formalize renewal/reporting.

You'll be the person who creates the system and drives revenue:

• packaging
• pricing
• outreach
• closing
• renewals

If you've sold sponsorship or media partnerships before and want ownership, this role is built for that.

What You'll Do

• Prospect and close sponsorship and brand partnerships across YouTube + podcast
• Create clear, repeatable sponsorship packages (and evolve them over time)
• Build a simple sales process: pipeline stages, pricing, proposal/deck, tracking, renewal cadence
• Collaborate with us on sponsor messaging, integration, and calls-to-action
• Build long-term sponsor relationships so partners renew and expand

What We're Looking For

• 4-7+ years in sponsorship / media partnerships / brand integration (or adjacent B2B partnerships)
• Comfortable with outbound (you can open doors)
• Confident pitching, negotiating, and closing
• Organized, self-directed, and excited by building a program--not inheriting one
• Strong communicator (email, calls, Zoom, in-person)

Nice to have (not required): automotive/fixed ops familiarity, creator economy, publishing.

Why This Role Is Worth It

• Two platforms with different sponsor categories (B2B + culture/ideas)
• Greenfield opportunity: you shape packaging, pricing, and process
• Lean team, quick decisions, direct access to leadership
• Uncapped commission and real room to grow as the program scales
