ABOUT NSFF

Next Step Film Festival – Cannes is an international film festival dedicated to discovering and promoting emerging directing talent.

We are expanding our international network and looking for independent, entrepreneurial professionals to develop sponsorship opportunities in selected geographical territories.

THE ROLE

As an NSFF International Sponsorship Account, you will represent the festival in your assigned territory, identifying potential sponsors and developing commercial partnerships with companies, brands and institutions.

This role is designed as an independent professional collaboration, offering the opportunity to develop sponsorship activities autonomously within your territory.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

- Build relationships with business owners, marketing directors and decision-makers.
- Present NSFF and its sponsorship opportunities.
- Develop tailored partnership proposals and support commercial negotiations.
- Follow up on leads and maintain long-term partner relationships.
- Coordinate with the NSFF team and report on activities and opportunities.
- Use your professional network to develop new business opportunities in your territory.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We are looking for experienced and entrepreneurial professionals with:

- Strong commercial, communication and networking skills.
- An independent, proactive and results-oriented mindset.
- Knowledge of their local business environment and access to professional networks.
- The ability to identify and develop relationships with potential sponsors and decision-makers.
- A genuine interest in cinema, marketing, communication, events or entertainment.





Experience in sales, sponsorship, marketing, advertising or business development is an advantage.

A relevant professional network within your territory is particularly valuable.

TYPE OF COLLABORATION & REMUNERATION

This is an independent professional collaboration, not an employment position.

The role is designed for self-employed professionals, independent commercial consultants and experienced business development professionals.

The International Sponsorship Account works independently and develops sponsorship opportunities within the assigned territory.

Remuneration / Compenso: A provvigione, con provvigioni del 15% - 20% sugli accordi di sponsorizzazione e partnership acquisiti (guadagno stimato / indicativo: 28.000€ - 32.000€).

The collaboration is intended to develop throughout the year, as companies and brands often plan sponsorship investments many months in advance.

WHAT WE OFFER

- Attractive commission-based earning opportunities linked to concrete results.
- The opportunity to represent an international film festival in your territory.
- Access to an international network of companies, brands and institutions.
- Professional networking opportunities at Cannes and other international events, with participation costs covered by NSFF under agreed conditions.
