assets based on market demand, comparable sales, scarcity, provenance, player significance, historical context, and collector behavior.\nEstablish appropriate auction estimates, reserves, opening bids, and other pricing recommendations in collaboration with relevant internal stakeholders.\nIdentify the highest-value and most commercially significant inventory within each partnership and develop individualized sales strategies around those assets.\nRecommend the appropriate sales channel for each opportunity, including premium auction, weekly auction, private sale, live commerce, curated collection, or other Goldin sales channels.\nDrive collector demand and revenue:\nDevelop and maintain relationships with high-value collectors, buyers, dealers, and other participants across the sports memorabilia and broader collectibles marketplace.\nProactively identify and directly engage prospective buyers for partnership inventory before and during auction cycles.\nBuild targeted buyer lists around specific teams, players, sports, categories, collections, and individual assets.\nWork closely with Goldin’s existing sales and customer-facing teams to coordinate outreach to relevant collectors and maximize bidding activity.\nDevelop strategies to convert team and player fan bases into active Goldin bidders and collectors.\nIdentify opportunities to cross-sell partnership inventory to existing Goldin customers across sports cards, memorabilia, entertainment, music, and other collecting categories.\nMaintain consistent awareness of buyer activity, bidding behavior, market demand, and emerging collecting trends.\nMaximize the value of Goldin’s sports partnerships:\nDevelop a deep understanding of the inventory commitments, economics, and commercial objectives associated with each Goldin partnership.\nWork closely with the Head of Partnerships to forecast potential sales performance and identify the assets most important to the success of each relationship.\nProvide market feedback that can inform future partnership negotiations, including expected asset values, player demand, inventory mix, quantity, and category performance.\nAnalyze performance across teams, players, leagues, sports, and asset categories to identify opportunities to improve future inventory selection and commercialization.\nHelp determine which players, games, milestones, postseason moments, historic assets, and experiences should be prioritized based on collector demand and revenue potential.\nDevelop repeatable sales strategies that can scale as Goldin adds additional team, league, athlete, and other partnerships.\nDevelop compelling go-to-market strategies:\nPartner with Marketing, Content, Cataloging, Authentication, and Partnerships to ensure premium assets are positioned and presented in a way that maximizes collector interest.\nIdentify the provenance, historical significance, milestones, narratives, and other characteristics that should be emphasized when bringing an asset to market.\nHelp develop dedicated auction events, themed collections, milestone campaigns, and other sales initiatives around partnership inventory.\nProvide commercial input into photography, catalog descriptions, content, social media, email marketing, PR, and other promotional efforts surrounding high-value partnership assets.\nCoordinate sales strategies around major sporting events, playoffs, championships, player milestones, anniversaries, Hall of Fame inductions, and other moments capable of increasing demand.\nBuild market intelligence and sales discipline:\nMonitor auction results, private sales, competitor activity, pricing trends, and broader developments across sports memorabilia and collectibles.\nMaintain detailed comparable-sales data and market intelligence for relevant players, teams, leagues, asset types, and collecting categories.\nTrack sales performance and key metrics across partnership inventory, including estimates, hammer prices, sell-through, buyer participation, and revenue.\nDevelop regular reporting for the Head of Partnerships and senior leadership regarding partnership sales performance, market trends, and future opportunities.\nUse sales results and collector feedback to continuously refine pricing, inventory, and go-to-market strategies.\nHelp establish scalable processes and best practices for monetizing partnership inventory as Goldin’s partnerships business continues to grow.\nWhat you will bring:\n5+ years of experience in sports memorabilia, collectibles, auctions, sales, business development, private client sales, or a closely related field.\nDeep knowledge of sports memorabilia and the broader collectibles marketplace, particularly game-used and game-worn memorabilia.\nDemonstrated ability to evaluate and price collectible assets using comparable sales, market knowledge, scarcity, provenance, historical significance, and buyer demand.\nStrong understanding of professional and collegiate sports, athletes, teams, leagues, major historical moments, and the factors that drive collector demand.\nProven track record of generating revenue and developing relationships with collectors, buyers, dealers, or high-net-worth clients.\nExisting relationships within the sports memorabilia and collectibles community strongly preferred.\nStrong commercial instincts and the ability to identify which assets and opportunities have the greatest revenue potential.\nAbility to translate market knowledge into actionable pricing, sales, and inventory recommendations.\nExcellent written and verbal communication skills with strong interpersonal presence.\nComfort interacting with executives, athletes, agents, teams, leagues, collectors, high-net-worth individuals, and other high-profile partners.\nStrong analytical skills and comfort working with sales data, comparable transactions, forecasts, and performance

to look at an asset and quickly understand its potential market, buyer profile, comparable sales, and likely value.\nEqually comfortable working with a six-figure or seven-figure trophy asset and
