About the role

As a Senior Sales & Events Executive, you will be responsible for further expanding our commercial position within the corporate events market.

You will translate market insights and client needs into concrete commercial plans and take responsibility for achieving ambitious revenue and margin targets. You will manage complex enquiries from initial acquisition through to successful delivery, ensuring that commercial opportunities are maximised at every stage.

In addition, you will actively build and maintain a strong network of existing and prospective clients. You will advise customers on our facilities, services and event packages, and develop tailored proposals that align with their objectives and expectations.
