London

Award-winning full-stack marketing services, digital media, and events business seeks an outstanding Sales Executive to drive engagement with start-up businesses and VIP, C-Suite executives at their flagship events.

The Sales Executive will develop and manage the network by recruiting investors and VIPs to their community. This role is sales-focused but does not directly generate revenue. VIPs are part of an exclusive circle and do not pay to attend; their presence is crucial for attracting other key attendees.

This position is ideal for a self-motivated and confident individual comfortable working independently and as part of a team. The role involves building high-level relationships with senior executives via phone, email, and LinkedIn.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Contact selected individuals via email and phone to discuss attendance and secure participation in structured networking and social events.
2. Meet and greet VIPs onsite, ensure they are well looked after, and facilitate their participation in networking/social programs.
3. Plan and execute attendee acquisition strategies on an account basis.
4. Innovate in recruiting European retailers to the events.
5. Identify key attendee personas to target for participation.
6. Build strong relationships with VIPs to foster brand loyalty and commitment.

Candidate Profile:

• Excellent academic background; fluent in French.
• Exceptional interpersonal and phone manner skills.
• Outstanding relationship management abilities.
• Ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines.
• Hardworking, diligent, and proactive.
• Ability to use initiative and go "above and beyond" to deliver excellent customer service.
