Job description
Commercial Manager (Sponsorship & Exhibition Sales)
Loughton, Essex |
Full time, office based |
Up to £60,000 + uncapped commission
One of the UK's most decorated events and publishing businesses is launching a brand new edition of a genuinely iconic consumer exhibition, and they need a Commercial Manager to lead the sales charge on it.
This is the kind of brief that doesn't come round often. The show is the longest running consumer exhibition in the world, and this new Midlands edition is a blank floorplan waiting for someone commercial and entrepreneurial to fill it with the right brands. You'd be shaping how the next chapter of this brand looks.
What you'll be doing
You'll take full responsibility for sponsorship and stand revenue, from high profile activations and experiential deals through to filling the floor with brands worthy of a historic launch. You'll lead, coach and mentor the commercial sales team, running one to ones, pipeline reviews and performance meetings, and you'll lead from the front by personally converting the key strategic opportunities.
Alongside that you'll build and forecast the pipeline, shape proposals that actually land, work closely with content, marketing and operations to create innovative commercial products, and report sales performance and pipeline analysis into the Commercial Director. Expect to be out at industry events building relationships too.
What they're looking for
They're moving quickly on this, so if it's of interest, get in touch today.
