Who This Is For

The Event Sales Manager needs proven experience in event sales, venue sales or event management, ideally within a busy London event venue, hospitality or experiential environment.

You’ll be a commercially driven event sales professional with experience generating new business, converting inbound enquiries, negotiating and closing event sales.
