Sales Executive - Commercial Events & Media

Join a Market-Leading Commercial Events Business

Are you an ambitious B2B sales professional looking for a role where your earning potential is truly uncapped

We're looking for a confident and commercially driven Sales Executive to join a successful and well-established events business behind one of Europe's leading commercial exhibitions.

If you enjoy consultative selling, speaking with senior decision-makers, and working in a structured, target-driven environment, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

As a Sales Executive, you'll take ownership of an established sales territory, developing existing client relationships while identifying and converting new business opportunities.

You'll be selling a range of commercial products, including:

Exhibition space
Sponsorship opportunities
Media and advertising solutions

This is primarily an office-based, telephone-led sales role, supported by email, LinkedIn and virtual meetings. You'll also have the opportunity to attend company events throughout the year, with occasional attendance at industry events.

Proven success in B2B sales
Experience generating business through outbound sales activity
Confidence speaking with senior-level decision-makers
