About Tixr

Tixr’s on a mission to transform the ticket buying experience with a modern approach to a legacy business. Born from a fan-focused frame of mind, we empower large-scale events, music venues, and sports properties with modern, innovative solutions to their highly-complex ticketing and e-commerce needs. Our unified commerce platform is built for big, supporting all types of events, from festivals to global arena tours, professional sports, collegiate athletics, and an almost limitless suite of commerce offerings beyond admission tickets.



The Opportunity

Tixr is seeking a high-caliber business development leader to spearhead our expansion into the global motorsports ecosystem. This is a hunter-focused, high-impact role for a commercially sharp operator who can identify, structure, and land major partnerships with sanctioning bodies, teams, promoters, and circuits.

  • Commercial Structuring: Expertly design deal economics, including revenue share, upfront guarantees, and hybrid models that drive profitable growth.
  • Strategic Positioning: Clearly communicate Tixr’s value proposition to executive stakeholders, effectively overcoming objections and navigating competitive landscapes.
  • Collaboration: Coordinate cross-functional teams (Product, Legal, Finance) to ensure operational readiness and post-deal success.
  • Network Utilization: Leverage existing industry relationships to accelerate market entry and build the Tixr brand globally.

  • Industry Credibility: Deep existing network across F1, NASCAR, endurance racing, or major event rights holders.
  • Strategic Negotiator: Highly skilled in structuring complex commercial terms and influencing decision-makers at the C-suite level.
  • Action-Oriented: A "hunter" by nature who thrives in ambiguous, fast-paced environments and prioritizes revenue-generating activity above all else.
  • Data-Driven: Analytical, with a sharp focus on KPIs, deal health, and pipeline hygiene.


The Perks
  • Salary Range $120,000 + Bonus + Equity
  • 100% Remote with Hybrid Optional
  • Paid Health Benefits ($0 Premiums)
  • Dental, Vision, Life plans 
  • Open Vacation
