A B2B events business is hiring a Sponsorship Sales Manager to join their central London team and lead sponsorship sales on a financial services technology event that’s being significantly scaled up for 2027. This is a chance to own the commercial success of an event, rather than sell one small part of it.

Why this role stands out
You will be selling into an industry that's full of innovation and transformation and there is a broad and varied pool of potential sponsors. The event is getting a bigger, more experiential format for 2027, which gives you a fresh and exciting story to sell. The team is small, so internal competition is low and your results get noticed.
What you’ll do
- Lead sponsorship sales for the event and build a strong pipeline of new and returning sponsors
- Find and approach new companies to sponsor the events
- Grow existing client relationships into bigger, longer-term partnerships
- Start with questions, not a pitch: find out what each client wants to achieve, then build packages around it
- Sell a mix of options, from headline partnerships to content, hospitality, networking and tailored campaigns
- Keep your pipeline and forecasts up to date in the CRM
- Get out to industry events and client meetings to build your network
- Share ideas on how the event develops
About you
- 2 - 4 years’ B2B event sponsorship sales experience with a track record of hitting targets
- Self-motivated, so you don’t need pushing to pick up the phone or open new doors
- Organised, and you report on your pipeline without being asked
- Confident talking to very senior marketing and commercial people
- Enjoy being in the office and part of a close team
- Ambitious to earn well and step up in your career
What’s in it for you
