Directors of Corporate Sponsorship

Employers

Directors of corporate sponsorship typically work for medium- to large-size corporations throughout the United States and the world. They also work for nonprofits of all sizes that seek to obtain corporate sponsorships to offset their operating expenses or to fund organization events or programs.

Starting Out

Most directors of corporate sponsorship begin their careers in entry-level positions as fundraisers, or in the advertising, public relations, marketing, or media departments of businesses or nonprofits. With experience, they advance to higher-level positions that provide them with the training and skills, as well as industry contacts, to land their first jobs as directors.
