Catering & Events Sales Manager
London | £45,000-£50,000 + Uncapped Commission (OTE £65,000+)
What if your next sales role didn't come with a rulebook?
Most catering sales jobs ask you to inherit a portfolio. This one asks you to build one. We're partnering with one of the UK's fastest-growing premium food brands, a business that's already built an incredible reputation and loyal customer following.
Now they're ready to turn their catering and events offering into a major commercial success story. They're looking for someone who doesn't wait for opportunities to land in their inbox. Someone who's happy walking into offices, introducing themselves, building relationships, making things happen, and creating opportunities where none existed yesterday.
This isn't about sitting behind a CRM all day. It's about being out in the market, meeting people, building trust, and becoming the person every office manager, PA, and event organizer thinks of when they need exceptional catering.
You'll be responsible for...
- Building the corporate catering business from the ground up.
- Winning new clients through networking, prospecting, and face-to-face business development.
- Developing relationships that generate repeat business, not just one-off orders.
- Growing both corporate catering and private events revenue.
- Creating a structured sales pipeline and helping shape future sales processes.
- Working closely with production and operations to ensure every sale can be delivered to the highest standard and growth remains sustainable.
- Helping influence future systems, reporting, and commercial strategy as the business scales.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Who are we looking for?
Not necessarily someone with the biggest CV. We're looking for someone with the biggest drive. You're already selling into corporate clients and have built a strong network of relationships. You know how to open doors, create opportunities, and turn conversations into long-term partnerships.
You'll probably recognize yourself if...
- You'd rather be meeting clients than sitting at your desk.
- You're naturally curious and love building relationships.
- You're commercially minded and enjoy spotting opportunities.
- You don't need someone telling you who to call next.
- You enjoy creating structure where there currently isn't any.
- You're ambitious enough to build something that could eventually become your own department.

What's in it for you?
- £45,000-£50,000 basic salary.
- Uncapped commission with realistic earnings of £65,000+.
- Monday-Friday working pattern.
- Occasional weekend work (typically one weekend a month or less).
- Regional travel as the business continues to expand. (expensed)
- The opportunity to shape a brand new commercial function rather than inherit someone else's.
- Genuine progression into a future Head of Catering & Events position.
This isn't just another sales job. It's an opportunity to build a revenue stream from the ground up, influence the future of a rapidly growing business, and create a department that, one day, you'll have the chance to lead.
If you've been waiting for a role where your ideas carry as much weight as your results, this is it.
