Launch Your Global Events Career – With the U.S. in Your Sights

We\'re not just offering a job — we’re offering a launchpad into the international events industry.

You’ll start from our Bristol HQ, working on some of the biggest U.S.-based exhibitions. You’ll learn how to sell high-impact business events, develop your commercial skill set, and grow with a company that offers rapid progression.

When the time is right, you’ll have the opportunity to relocate to the United States and take a leading role in expanding our North American operations.

This is an ideal role for graduates, career changers, and early-career professionals ready to grow quickly and build something long-term.

About Us

At Business Show Media, we produce world-leading B2B exhibitions across the globe. From Las Vegas and Miami to London, Singapore, and Sydney, our events bring together thousands of entrepreneurs, innovators, and investors.

With North America as one of our fastest-growing markets, we’re building a high-performing team to scale our presence — and we want you to be part of it.

What You’ll Be Doing

As an Event Sales Executive, your mission is to drive revenue growth by building relationships with U.S.-based companies and helping them connect with new opportunities through our exhibitions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying high-potential U.S. companies and key decision-makers

• Reaching out via phone, email, and social channels

• Pitching and selling exhibition stands and sponsorship opportunities

• Managing and growing your own book of business

• Achieving KPIs that lead to fast-track promotion

• Gaining deep experience in international event sales and delivery

• Relocating to a U.S. office (based on performance and readiness)

What We\'re Looking For

We don’t expect you to come in as a sales expert — we’re here to train and develop you. We’re looking for potential, attitude, and ambition.

You might be:

• A recent graduate looking to kickstart a commercial career

• Exploring a career switch into international business or events

• Motivated by progression and strong earning potential

• Excited about the idea of working and living in the United States

• Professional, confident, and open to learning

• Based in or near Bristol and comfortable working U.S. business hours

What You’ll Get

• £27,000 – £30,000 base salary

• Uncapped commission

• First-year OTE of £55,000 – £65,000

• High performers earning £70,000 – £100,000+

• Full sales training and ongoing mentorship

• Clear development pathway to leadership and U.S. relocation

• Opportunity to work on major global B2B events

• Fast-paced, energetic office culture

• Regular team socials, sales incentives, and career development support

Ready to Build Your Future?

This is more than a typical sales role — it’s a pathway to a global career in events, commercial strategy, and leadership.

If you\'re ready to learn fast, work hard, and grow into a role with international potential, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and start your journey in Bristol — with the U.S. in sight.
