Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, where you are given the autonomy and support to handle large amounts of responsibility?
Are you looking for the opportunity to accelerate your sales career whilst also being surrounded by an exceptional entrepreneurial team with motivated and extremely driven people?
The role
You’ll be responsible for managing and growing a portfolio of sponsors across our international conferences, building long-term relationships with senior decision-makers and driving sponsorship revenue.
This is a high-performance B2B sales role with a strong focus on sponsor retention, renewals and account growth, alongside identifying and closing new sponsorship opportunities.

You should have:
-
At least 2 years of B2B sales experience.
-
A proven track record of achieving or exceeding individual revenue targets.
-

-

-

-

-
