Technology & AI Sales Manager in Norwich

About BizClik

BizClik Media is a fast-scaling, global B2B media and events business building the world’s most influential industry platforms across sustainability, AI, data centres, supply chain, procurement and future industries.

We operate more than 20 digital platforms and a growing international portfolio of flagship events, including Sustainability LIVE, Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE, AI LIVE and Data Centre LIVE, connecting C-suite leaders, innovators and decision-makers who are actively shaping the future of their sectors.

This is not a traditional media business. We are an AI-powered, data-led scale-up, combining content, communities, live experiences and commercial partnerships into a single, high-growth ecosystem.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a commercially driven Technology & AI Sales Manager to lead revenue growth across our Technology and AI portfolio, part of our Super Intelligence group alongside Data Centre and Energy. Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, you will own the portfolio’s sales performance, build long-term partnerships with technology vendors, AI innovators and enterprise brands, and lead and develop the Sales Rep in your team.

Day to day, you will work closely with Editorial, Events, Marketing, Campaigns and Broadcast to turn audience insight into partnerships that combine digital content, campaigns, podcasts, webinars, reports and live events. In return, you’ll gain ownership of a high-growth portfolio in one of the fastest-moving sectors in the world, real visibility with senior leadership and a clear path to broader commercial leadership.

• Keep Salesforce accurate and up to date so pipeline and forecasting data can be trusted

Portfolio Collaboration and Market Insight

• Hold a weekly check-in with the Technology & AI Editorial team, sharing what you’re hearing from clients and learning what content is landing with the audience
• Review audience analytics and use them to shape commercial conversations
• Stay close to the AI and technology market, including funding, product launches, regulation and emerging companies
• Partner with Events and Marketing on the commercial growth of AI LIVE and related events
• Contribute ideas to new products and packages, including the launch of our new AI title

Leadership and Team Development
