Description:

Business Development - Running & Events

Location: UK-wide (Remote/Field-based)
Pay: Base + Commission
Hours: Flexible / Part-time

About the Role

Skamper Anytime is a new way for runners to race - verified routes, run anytime, no race-day logistics.

We're early-stage and still proving the sales model. This role is about getting it off the ground, not maintaining a finished system.

You'll use your retail experience to sell the Anytime concept in two ways:

  • Set up new local Anytime series
    Recruit shops, clubs, and local organisers to run 6-race Anytime series in towns, cities, and trail hubs.
  • Sell Anytime to existing race organisers
    Help organisers add an off-calendar, low-risk revenue stream alongside their main events.

This is a hands-on sales role - calls, shop visits, real conversations - not "partnership management".

This Role Is Ideal If You:

  • Currently manage (or have managed) a running or outdoor retail shop
  • Are a runner and know your local scene
  • Are confident selling face-to-face and on the phone
  • Want commission and upside, not just a salary ceiling
  • Like the idea of shaping something early rather than following scripts

Pay & Opportunity

This is a part-time, flexible role with a full-time equivalent package of 28k- 40k, reflecting base pay plus success-related elements. Beyond financial reward, the role offers the chance to benefit from equity in an early-stage business and be part of building a concept that could scale nationally - and potentially globally. This is a rare opportunity for someone with retail or event sales experience to shape a new way of racing from the ground floor.
