We have an exciting sales role for a positive, self-motivated and experienced sales executive selling delegate places to professional audiences within the sustainability and utilities sector. This is a role with plenty of variety.

The role will predominately focus on delegate acquisition for our suite of paid-for events with cross-selling into membership sales and possibly further close working with the membership team.

The role will be a hybrid role with a minimum of two days in the office, however, initially will mainly be office based to give the successful candidate the ability to learn from their colleagues in an office environment. A keen sense of responsibility and a good work ethic are essential to succeed in this role.
