We're looking for a confident and proactive Sales Executive to join our UK team and support the continued growth of Citywire's events business. If you're commercially driven, enjoy building relationships, and want to develop your career in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, this could be the ideal opportunity for you!

We run over 100 events each year - from half-day forums and roundtable debates to multi-day residential conferences - bringing together asset managers and key investor audiences in target markets. This role offers a fantastic chance to be part of an established and successful sales team while building valuable connections within the asset management industry.

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.
• Presenting Citywire's events proposition to both existing and prospective clients through email, phone calls, video meetings, and face-to-face conversations.
• Building and maintaining long-term relationships with key contacts, acting as a trusted partner and understanding their commercial objectives.
• Working closely with our Events and Audience Development teams to deliver market-leading events that meet client expectations.
• Attending events in the UK, representing Citywire professionally and expanding your knowledge of the asset management and financial advice sectors.
• Staying up to date with market trends, competitor activity, and client needs to identify new opportunities.
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Sales Focus & Motivation: A tenacious, commercially minded individual with a clear drive to meet and exceed revenue targets.
• Strong Relationship Skills: You'll enjoy meeting people, developing rapport, and influencing decision-making.
• Confident Communication: Comfortable presenting proposals and ideas to clients at varying levels of seniority.
• Highly Organised: Able to juggle multiple opportunities, prioritise effectively, and stay on top of deadlines.
• 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.
