Descrizione del lavoro

Office based

Mobile showrooms, immersive product launches, exhibitions fabricated in-house by the same team that pitches them. A client base of major global brands across automotive, healthcare and food and drink. And an Event Account Manager role with a warm book of accounts from day one.

• Quarterly profit-share scheme on top of your base
• Work with major global brands across diverse sectors
• Proven progression within a growing commercial team
• Holiday buy-back scheme to top up your leave
• 22 days holiday plus bank holidays

The Company

This is a boutique, award-winning brand experience agency delivering roadshows, exhibitions, hospitality, fabrication, AV and corporate events for clients across automotive, construction, food and drink, healthcare and more. With in-house operations, production and fabrication teams all under one roof, they build and run the events themselves. The business is profitable, growing, and an Event Account Manager who comes in tends to find reasons to stay.

The Role

The Event Account Manager role sits at the heart of the commercial team, holding full responsibility for a portfolio of high-value client accounts while coordinating directly with internal production, operations and fabrication specialists to bring each brief to life.

• Own assigned accounts end to end, from brief through to delivery sign-off
• Hit revenue growth, upsell and client satisfaction targets
• Brief and manage external suppliers, handling quotes and lead-times
• Identify cross-sell opportunities across the full service offering
• Manage purchasing decisions with commercial awareness and budget discipline
• Act as the primary link between clients and internal delivery teams
• Support account strategy to drive long‑term retention and loyalty

The Candidate

The right Event Account Manager will have owned client relationships in a commercially driven environment, held targets and delivered against them, and coordinated across internal teams and external suppliers without losing sight of margin or quality. If the title Event Account Manager describes what you do today, this role is worth a serious look.

A background that blends account management with project coordination is particularly well suited here. Experience in brand experience, exhibitions, experiential or live events is beneficial but not essential. What matters most is a retention and upsell mindset, a confident approach to stakeholder management, and the ability to keep complex projects on track.

Expect a competitive salary, quarterly profit‑share, a warm book of established accounts and a clear progression path inside a team that is genuinely expanding.

We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, embracing diversity across all intersecting dimensions, including ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, well‑being, abilities, and neurodiversity.

We are dedicated to ensuring a supportive and accessible recruitment process.

If you require any adjustments or accommodations for any reason, please do not hesitate to let us know.
