VKTRY | Field Sales & Marketing

Reports to: Director of Events and Sales

About VKTRY

VKTRY makes aerospace grade carbon fiber performance insoles and recovery footwear, including clogs and slides built with an embedded full length carbon fiber plate and dual density footbed. Our products are trusted by athletes and athletic trainers at the collegiate, high school, and professional level to improve performance and reduce injury risk. We work directly with parents, athletes, teams, booster clubs, and institutional buyers across sports including but not limited to volleyball, basketball, football, cheerleading, running, lacrosse, and baseball.

The Role

We're looking for a Field Marketing Representative to be the face of VKTRY at youth sporting events across the country. This person will attend tournaments, showcases, camps, and clinics to demo products, build relationships with athletes, parents, athletic trainers, and coaches, and drive on site sales. This role also includes B2B outreach between events, keeping the pipeline of coaches/trainers, booster clubs, and institutional buyers warm and moving toward purchase.

This is a high energy, on the road role suited to someone who's comfortable talking to strangers, thrives in a fast paced event environment, and has genuine credibility with athletes, coaches, and trainers, whether from a playing background, coaching experience, or deep involvement in one of our core sports.

Schedule:

• Roughly 50% of your time will be spent on the road, with most trips running 3 to 5 days in length
• Expect to work roughly 40 events per year, with travel occurring year-round and the heaviest concentration from January through July
• When not traveling, you'll be in the office in Milford, CT on Tuesday, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
• Candidates should live within commuting distance of Milford, CT, as this is not a remote or relocation friendly role
• While most events are staffed alongside other VKTRY team members, some smaller or regional events may be worked solo

What You'll Do

• Represent VKTRY at youth sporting events nationwide, including but not limited to volleyball, basketball, cheerleading, running, football, lacrosse, and baseball tournaments, showcases, and camps
• Set up and run product demo booths, fitting athletes with insoles and recovery footwear on site and converting these individuals to a sale
• Help prepare for events, including but not limited to packing event boxes with marketing materials to be shipped out, inventorying event items upon return, ensuring marketing materials are in good condition, and helping source new event marketing materials when needed
• Provide comprehensive feedback after every event, capturing what worked well and what didn't from both the event itself and a brand standpoint, so VKTRY can make informed decisions about returning the following year
• Build and maintain relationships with athletic trainers, coaches, parents and booster club leaders as long term VKTRY advocates
• Conduct B2B outreach (email, phone, and in person) to athletic trainers, booster clubs, and institutional buyers like colleges and high schools

What You Bring

• Former college athlete or comparable high level competitive experience (preferred)
• Comfortable working a booth, running a demo, and closing sales in a live event environment
• Strong communicator, equally effective in a hallway conversation with a coach/parent and a cold outreach email to a booster club
• Organized, reliable, and a genuine self starter who can manage a heavy travel and event schedule and show up prepared without close oversight
• Exhibits leadership and can take charge in the moment, whether managing a busy booth or navigating an unexpected event issue
• Willing and excited to live out of a suitcase for extended stretches, energized rather than drained by frequent multi day travel
• Experience in sales, marketing, or athletics is a plus; passion for sports and player performance is a must
• Experience with Google Suite (Sheets, Docs, Slides, Forms)
• Able to lift 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and operate point of sale systems and card readers during multi day events
• Valid driver's license, required for frequent event travel

Compensation

This is a hybrid base plus commission role. Base salary starts at $35,000 per year, with the opportunity to earn upwards of $50,000 between commissions and yearly company bonus. On site sales performance directly increases total earnings, so income potential scales with the number of events worked and results delivered at each one.

Benefits

• Healthcare coverage
• 401(k) with company matching
• Commissions + comp time opportunities for working events
• Yearly bonus up to 8% of salary based on company and individual performance
• Paid holidays and vacation time
• Paid sick leave
• Company provided laptop
• Complimentary VKTRY products

Why VKTRY

You'll be part of a small, fast moving team building a product athletes, coaches and trainers genuinely believe in, backed by real injury reduction research and NIL partnerships with athletes at programs like UConn. You'll see the direct impact of your work, from the first conversation at a booth to a signed institutional order.
