Event Sponsorship Sales Executive

Hybrid: 3 days in office

A tight-knit sales team, hands-on training without the hand-holding, and a tried-and-tested promotion track with names behind it. Conference deals averaging £18-25k, an aggressive expansion plan and uncapped commission. An Event Sponsorship Sales Executive role for the candidate ready to step out of delegate sales and into something bigger.

– Uncapped commission on every deal you close

– Clear, tried-and-tested career progression plan

– Hands-on training without micromanagement

– Successful and growing events portfolio to sell against

The Company

This is a thriving events operation running a successful conference portfolio and pushing hard to grow it. Sales momentum is strong, the team is tight, and expansion is the plan. People tend to stay once they are in, and it is easy to see why once you have the tools, the freedom and the progression track record of an Event Sponsorship Sales Executive here behind you. This is not a company that is standing still.

The Role

The Event Sponsorship Sales Executive sits within the sales team, reporting into experienced managers, and owns the full pipeline from prospecting to close on sponsorship deals, with a first-year revenue target built around landing one or two deals a month.

– Prospect and pitch new sponsorship partners across the conference portfolio

– Manage deals from first contact through to signed agreement

– Hit monthly revenue targets and earn commission from the first deal

– Build and maintain a strong pipeline using outreach and market knowledge

– Collaborate closely with the sales team and contribute ideas to grow the events

The Candidate

The right candidate brings a working knowledge of the events landscape and understands what sponsors are looking for and why. That might come from a delegate or ticket sales background where you are ready to move into the Event Sponsorship Sales Executive role, or from an events-adjacent position where you have been close enough to the commercial side to hit the ground running.

Confidence on the phone, a hunger to close and a genuine interest in events are what matter most here. The company is open on level, so whether you are making your first move into sponsorship or building on early sales experience, the structure and training are in place to back you.

Uncapped commission, a genuine promotion path and serious expansion plans make this a package worth acting on now. Interviews are being booked this week, so get your application in and secure your place in the process.
