Are you a foodie? Do you enjoy live music? Experienced in selling exhibition space and sponsorship packages?

If so, this is a genuinely brilliant opportunity!

Our client runs the leading food and music festival in the UK, and the need has arisen to hire a talented events sales professional to join the team.

Imagine industry-leading chefs, great food stalls, top DJs, and music artists…

The Role

Reporting to the head of commercial partnerships, you will be responsible for selling exhibition space for the events to both existing and new clients.

This is a unique and rare opportunity to work on some of the world’s best events! You will be expected to take on responsibility quickly and learn rapidly. You will collaborate with fantastic colleagues and some celebrities.

If you have a great event idea, you might have the chance to develop and launch it. Essentially, there are no barriers: if you're talented and motivated, you can advance from sales executive to event director within 3 to 4 years.

• Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines
• Excellent planning, organizational, and time management skills
• Assertive team player comfortable working with strong personalities
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; credible diplomat and ambassador
• Resilient problem solver and decision-maker
• Experience in generating new business
