Game jobs in United Kingdom

Who are we: Everton Football Club is one of world sport's most respected and revered names - a by-word for innovation, professionalism and community. During the course of a glittering history spanning three centuries, we have been shaped and guided by our aspirational motto Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - nothing but the best is good enough. One of only three clubs to have been a founder member of both the Football League and Premier League, our Men's Senior team has played more games in English football's top‑flight than any other, winning nine league titles, five FA Cups and a European Cup Winners’ Cup. Now in our state‑of‑the‑art Hill Dickinson Stadium - a 52,769‑capacity new home on the banks of Liverpool’s iconic River Mersey, we remain committed to developing and supporting teams across our Men's, Women’s and Academy set‑ups that inspire and continue to compete at the highest level of the game.

We are looking for a Senior Venue Sales Lead to come and join us and be the driving force behind revenue generation for the Fan Plaza at Hill Dickinson Stadium, transforming it into a dynamic and commercially successful destination within our Stadium campus. Working closely with the Director of Premium, you will lead on all sales initiatives tied to the space, proactively identifying opportunities to attract high‑value event bookings. You will be focused on maximising the utilisation and profitability of the Fan Plaza across both matchdays and non‑matchdays, ensuring it delivers exceptional experiences for partners and guests while contributing meaningfully to the club’s wider commercial objectives, and will build strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external clients, manage the full sales pipeline from prospecting to contracting, and shape the long‑term vision for how the Fan Plaza can evolve as a best‑in‑class event and fan engagement environment.

We are looking for a talented, commercially focussed sales professional who is not only hardworking, and results driven but can take our fans on a journey using digital technology, harnessing a data driven sales philosophy. Other key experience we are looking for includes:

• Proven track record in venue, event, or hospitality sales, ideally within sport, entertainment, or premium venues
• Strong commercial acumen and ability to identify and convert new business opportunities
• Exceptional relationship management and communication skills
• Highly motivated self‑starter with a strategic mindset and hands‑on approach
• Experience working collaboratively across teams to deliver exceptional client experience
• Comfortable operating in a fast‑paced, high‑profile environment with competing priorities.

If you are a self‑starter with an ambitious and resilient spirit who thrives with a desire to exceed targets, then we would love to hear from you!
