Job description

The role

Sell exhibition stands, sponsorship across a governance, risk, compliance, privacy and AI governance event portfolio — a flagship expo, plus executive forums, awards, conferences and digital products. This is a proactive, phone-forward role, not an inbound order-taking one and you will be expected to generate your pipeline through outbound calling, email, & LinkedIn.

Requirements

• Minimum 2 years' commercial B2B sales experience with a personal revenue target you consistently hit. Exhibition, sponsorship, media, conference or B2B subscription sales is ideal; strong transferable B2B sales experience will be considered.
• Excellent written English — clear, specific proposals and follow-ups without waffle.

What we offer

• A growing portfolio in one of the most active B2B markets: regulation, risk, privacy and AI governance
• Company pension contributions
• Private health insurance and life assurance
• The security and career mobility of a global parent group, with the culture and autonomy of a specialist team
• Four days a week in a collaborative sales office, one day from home
