- Work closely with operations to ensure a seamless client experience.
- Own your pipeline, targets, and performance.
- Leading fee and contract discussions with local authorities
- Building financial models that actually get used
- Turning numbers into clear, persuasive commercial cases
- Working closely with Ops, Finance, and senior leadership
- Spotting risks early and doing something about them
- Proven experience selling weddings, events, or premium hospitality packages.
- Strong closer who is confident converting high-value bookings.
- Commercial mindset with a clear focus on revenue and targets.
- Proactive approach to winning business, not reliant on inbound leads.
- Polished communicator who can deal with high-end clientele.
- Organised and accountable with solid pipeline management.
You may already be working in a venue, hotel, or events business, or looking to step up into a more premium environment.
The Offer:
- £45,000 to £50,000 basic salary
- Attractive commission structure
- Opportunity to sell a genuinely high-quality product
