Are you a natural hunter with a passion for travel, events, and building lasting client partnerships? My client is reigniting a long-standing events division that thrived pre-COVID and we're looking for a proactive Event Sales Manager to bring it back to life and take it even further.
About the Role
This is a newly created position for a proactive, commercially driven business developer who can identify, engage, and convert clients within the travel sector from airlines and tour operators to travel brands and agencies.

You’ll uncover opportunities, understand clients' event portfolios and annual needs, and turn that insight into tailored proposals and winning pitches.

You might come from a travel background with strong B2B sales experience or from the events industry with a real passion for travel. Either way, you're a go getter, confident, and ready to make your mark.
You’ll bring:
