Job description

Do you love sales? Do you thrive on winning new business, building relationships and closing deals?

If so, this could be the opportunity for you.

Thames Luxury Charters (TLC) is one of London's leading luxury event companies, operating a fleet of stunning private charter boats on the River Thames. From intimate celebrations to large-scale corporate events for up to 600 guests, we create exceptional experiences for some of the world's most exciting brands, businesses and private clients.

We are looking for an ambitious, driven and commercially minded Sales Executive to join our growing team in the heart of London.

This is a sales role.

We are looking for someone who is genuinely motivated by sales, someone who enjoys picking up the phone, building relationships, following up leads, negotiating, overcoming objections and, most importantly, closing business.

You’ll be responsible for taking enquiries and turning them into confirmed events, while actively developing new opportunities and building your own pipeline of clients.

You’ll be selling something people genuinely want to buy: unique luxury experiences on the River Thames.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Drive new business and actively generate sales opportunities.
• Respond to and qualify incoming enquiries, converting them into confirmed bookings.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with corporate and private clients.
• Manage the full sales journey from initial enquiry through to booking and handover.
• Identify opportunities to upsell and maximise revenue across events.
• Create bespoke proposals and event solutions tailored to each client’s requirements.
• Follow up consistently and proactively to maximise conversion.
• Negotiate with clients and confidently close deals.
• Maintain an accurate sales pipeline and CRM records.
• Work closely with our events and operations teams to ensure a smooth handover once a booking is confirmed.
• Consistently work towards and exceed individual and team sales targets.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is hungry to succeed and wants to build a career in sales.

You might already have experience within events, hospitality, luxury, travel or another sales environment, but what matters most to us is your attitude, commercial mindset and ability to sell.

You’ll ideally have:

• A proven track record in sales and revenue generation.
• A confident and persuasive communication style.
• The ability to build relationships quickly and naturally.
• Strong negotiation and closing skills.
• A proactive approach to following up and generating opportunities.
• The resilience to handle rejection and keep pushing forward.
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
• The ambition to consistently achieve and exceed targets.
• Experience using CRM systems and managing a sales pipeline.

Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to win.

Why Join Thames Luxury Charters?

This isn’t your typical sales job.

You’ll be based in the heart of London, selling luxury events on the River Thames and working with an exciting mix of corporate clients, major brands, private individuals and event agencies.

You’ll join a growing team with big ambitions and have the opportunity to make a genuine impact as we continue to grow the TLC brand.

You’ll also have the chance to:

• Work within one of London’s most unique event businesses.
• Sell an exciting, premium product that genuinely stands out in the market.
• Build relationships with high-profile corporate and private clients.
• Develop your sales career within a growing company.
• Work alongside an energetic, ambitious and supportive team.
• Be part of some of London’s most memorable events.
• Grow with the business as we continue to expand.

The Person

We’re not looking for someone who simply wants a job.

We’re looking for someone who is competitive, ambitious, confident and commercially driven.

Someone who enjoys the buzz of receiving a new enquiry, picking up the phone, winning the client and seeing that booking come through.
