The Company
This is a thriving, multi-award-winning media business with over 20 large-scale expos across the health, wellness and active-lifestyle space. Founded in 2018 and grown rapidly since, with all operations, content, marketing and sales kept in-house, the Event Account Manager role sits inside a business that has a small-company feel that genuinely survives at scale. Sustainability is a core value, tracked and reported across every event. People who join tend to stay and grow with it.
The Role
The Event Sales Manager sits within a fast-moving show team, driving exhibitor and sponsorship sales for a newly launched expo with serious momentum behind it, reporting directly to the Event Manager and collaborating across the wider portfolio.
- Hit and exceed KPIs and revenue targets across the show portfolio
- Manage the full sales pipeline using CRM effectively and accurately
- Drive phone-based selling to new and existing exhibitor prospects
- Attend competitor exhibitions to generate leads and market intelligence
- Collaborate cross-functionally to share leads and support other shows
- Ensure all event documentation, payments and processes meet quality standards
The Candidate
The right candidate brings proven experience in sales or account management, is comfortable owning a phone-based pipeline, and has worked in an events, expo or B2B sales environment where hitting targets and keeping CRM records sharp were part of the job. If that sounds like you, the Event Account Manager role is built around giving that experience room to grow.
A background in health, wellness or sports is beneficial but not essential, as is exposure to cross-functional sales collaboration or a team lead setting. International event experience is a welcome addition. What matters most is commercial drive, attention to detail and the ambition to make a genuine step up as an Event Account Manager.
Uncapped earning potential, structured development, four-continent event travel and a growth-share scheme that rewards results directly. First interviews are being lined up now, so get your application in and secure your place in the conversation before this one closes.
