Sales Director- Global Ventures in London

We’re Hyve - organiser of the world’s fastest-growing and most forward-thinking B2B events. As the chosen event partner to many of the world’s leading companies, our platforms play a critical role in their strategies - helping them enter new markets, accelerate growth and connect with the people who matter most. Our portfolio features some of the world’s leading events in sectors like ecommerce, healthcare, edtech, and fintech. We’re growing fast with an entrepreneurial culture that empowers big ideas and quick action, plus an ambitious acquisition strategy bringing exciting new events into our mix. Alongside our market-leading events, we’re building tech and data-driven products that supercharge connections – from one-to-one meeting programs and curated table talks to year-round engagement platforms.

A bit about you: First things first: whatever your background, beliefs or ambitions, there’s a culture of belonging at Hyve — and everyone is welcome. The question isn’t where you’ve come from, but where you want to go. You’ll thrive here if you’re curious, collaborative and not afraid to challenge convention. We look for people who take pride in what they do, who are excited by change and always moving forward. The kind of people who stay open, keep learning, and look for better ways to make an impact. Our shared behaviours guide how we work: we dare to do things differently, own our work, embrace collaboration, stay true to ourselves and others, and remember that optimism wins. If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

Global Ventures is Hyve’s dedicated accelerator unit which launches new events and supercharges new ventures. This is where event launches are born and new products are accelerated, powered by obsessive customer focus, rapid experimentation, simple decision-making and entrepreneurial energy.

The bit about the role: As Sales Director, you will drive the growth for whichever launch event you’ll be working on, typically focused on driving maximum spend from our largest and most strategically important accounts — increasing share of wallet, deepening partnerships, and unlocking long‑term commercial value.

• Negotiate complex, high‑value deals and partnership agreements

Here’s what we’re looking for from you:

• Experience in senior B2B sales roles, with significant exposure to enterprise or strategic account management
• Proven track record of managing and growing a portfolio of high‑value, complex accounts
• Demonstrable success in securing multi‑year renewals and expanding share of wallet
• Consistent overachievement of revenue targets within a key account or enterprise sales environment
