Exhibition Sales Executive

We are a specialist B2B events business covering governance, risk, compliance, privacy and AI, and a wholly owned subsidiary of one of the world's top five event companies. That means the agility, pace and direct access of a focused, entrepreneurial team, backed by the scale and stability of a global parent group.

The role

Sell exhibition stands, sponsorship across a governance, risk, compliance, privacy and AI governance event portfolio — a flagship expo, plus executive forums, awards, conferences and digital products. This is a proactive, phone-forward role, not an inbound order-taking one and you will be expected to generate your pipeline through outbound calling, email, & LinkedIn.

Requirements

•Minimum 2 years' commercial B2B sales experience with a personal revenue target you consistently hit. Exhibition, sponsorship, media, conference or B2B subscription sales is ideal; strong transferable B2B sales experience will be considered.

•Excellent written English — clear, specific proposals and follow-ups without waffle.

What we offer

•A growing portfolio in one of the most active B2B markets: regulation, risk, privacy and AI governance

•25 days' holiday plus bank holidays

•Company pension contributions

•Private health insurance and life assurance

•The security and career mobility of a global parent group, with the culture and autonomy of a specialist team

•Four days a week in a collaborative sales office, one day from home
