An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a growing organisation operating within the professional membership, events and compliance sector.

We're looking for a commercially minded Event Sales Executive to drive revenue growth across a portfolio of conferences, awards, sponsorship opportunities, webinars and commercial partnerships.

Responsibilities include:

• Selling exhibition stands, sponsorship packages and partnership opportunities
• Identifying and developing new business opportunities
• Building relationships with senior decision-makers and industry stakeholders
• Managing and growing existing commercial accounts
• Creating tailored partnership solutions based on client objectives
• Negotiating and closing commercial agreements
• Maintaining an active pipeline and accurate CRM records
• Conducting face-to-face client meetings across the UK
• Attending conferences, exhibitions and networking events
• Working closely with marketing, commercial and events teams

About You

We're interested in speaking with candidates from a broad B2B sales background, including:

• Event Sales
• Exhibition Sales
• Sponsorship Sales
• Media Sales
• Commercial Partnerships
• Membership Sales
• Recruitment Consultancy
• Business Development

You'll ideally have:

• Experience generating new business revenue
• Strong account management and relationship-building skills
• Confidence engaging with senior stakeholders
• A consultative sales approach
• Experience managing a sales pipeline and CRM
• Strong communication and negotiation skills
• A self-motivated approach and the ability to work remotely

What's On Offer?

• £40,000 basic salary
• Realistic OTE of £50,000
• Fully remote working
• Travel and expenses covered
• Newly created role due to company growth
• Autonomy and flexibility
• Supportive and collaborative culture
• Opportunity to become a visible presence within a well-established sector

This role would suit someone who enjoys meeting clients face-to-face, building long-term partnerships and developing commercial opportunities within a professional B2B environment.
