Job description

Media Sales Account Manager - Event Organiser
Essex, Office Based
£45,000-£50,000 Basic + Uncapped Commission

Love big ideas, big brands and big deals? This is a rare chance to own commercial relationships across an award-winning events and media portfolio.

Our client is an independent, founder-led events and media business with a reputation for doing things differently.

Their events feel more like festivals than trade shows, and their brands are some of the most respected names in their markets. Being independent means they can invest in creativity and quality, and staff turnover is low. People join and stay.

The portfolio
You'll sell across a multi-platform portfolio that includes:

A fast-growing, standout trade event that's already close to target months before the show
Influential print and digital titles
An industry conference and awards
Digital, social and content partnerships
International expansion is also on the horizon.

The role
This isn't about selling pages and floor space. It's about selling ideas and partnerships. You'll work with senior decision-makers at the world's leading professional hair brands and build bespoke 12-month campaigns that help them achieve their goals. You'll be:

Managing and growing relationships with major brands, and bringing in new business
Selling across events, print, digital, sponsorship, awards and brand activations
Writing and pitching tailored commercial proposals, from four-figure campaigns to six-figure partnerships
Challenging clients' thinking and positioning the business as a true strategic partner
Visiting clients and attending industry events in the UK, Europe and the US

What you'll get

£45,000-£50,000 basic salary with an uncapped commission structure
A team-based commission structure, so everyone shares in the big wins
Realistic, achievable targets in a portfolio that's already performing strongly
International travel to industry shows
The freedom to make the role your own in an entrepreneurial, creative business
A modern office just two minutes from the station, with fast links to London on the Elizabeth line

About you

Proven B2B sales experience, ideally in media, publishing or events
Confident prospecting, pitching and closing, including with senior people at global brands
A consultative seller who leads with ideas and solutions
Excellent communication, presentation and proposal-writing skills
Organised enough to juggle deals of very different sizes at once
Hungry, ambitious and at home in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial business
An interest in hair, beauty, barbering, fashion or the creative industries is a big plus, but industry experience isn't essential
