What you’ll be doing:

-Supporting the growth of Citywire’s UK events revenue by securing sponsorship sales from asset management firms targeting IFAs, wealth managers, and family offices.

-Adaptable & Collaborative: A flexible team player who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment and works well with others.

-Interest in Event Sales & Financial Services: Some exposure to, or curiosity about, financial services or B2B events would be an advantage, though not essential.

We cover - and connect - all sides of the $100 trillion global asset management industry - through our news, events and insights.

At Citywire, we uphold a culture rooted in honesty, integrity, and fairness, where every voice is valued and heard. Our culture promotes constructive dialogue and collaboration on a global scale.
