- Representing the venues at networking events, trade shows, and industry functions.
- Working closely with the reactive sales team to maximise conversion and deliver a seamless client experience.
About You
- Solid experience in business development, ideally within events, hospitality, or venue sales.
- Proactive, driven, and motivated by hitting and exceeding targets.
- Confident communicator with strong presentation and negotiation skills.
- Natural networker with the ability to build rapport quickly.
- Organised and adaptable, able to manage a busy pipeline.
- Passionate about delivering excellent client experiences.
BENEFITS
- The chance to represent two high-profile London venues.
- Competitive salary plus performance-based commission.
- Supportive team culture with scope for growth.
- Exposure to a varied portfolio of corporate and commercial clients.
- Opportunities for professional development and progression.
