The Opportunity
Eventwise is a UK-based AI-powered software platform that provides festival, conference, and agency businesses with live budgeting, real-time reporting, and commercial visibility, replacing the spreadsheet-led, reactive financial management that has historically defined the sector.
The business is entering a pivotal growth phase: transitioning from a founder-led, accounting-services-weighted model into an ARR-first software, scalable platform business. The immediate mandate is UK-focused.
This is not a role that inherits a mature revenue organization; it is the opportunity to build one.
Company Snapshot
- Approx. £700k total ARR; software subscriptions currently c.£250k of this (c.25% software / 75% accounting services).
- Enterprise clients typically £3k–£5k per month.
- Current commercial pipeline of approximately £1.3m.
- Active £1.5m funding round underway, earmarked for technology, AI capability, product development, and commercial recruitment.
- Team of 7 including a fractional CFO, a lead generation resource, and marketing/customer success support based in South Africa.
- This role will build out to a commercial team of 7, starting with an initial direct report — a Sales Development Representative (SDR).
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.
Why This Role Exists
Chris (Founder & CEO) and Ramesh (CCO, interim/fractional) currently own the majority of commercial activity between them. Eventwise now needs a dedicated, hands-on commercial leader who can:
- Build a repeatable, forecastable revenue engine from the ground up.
- Recruit, develop, and lead a commercial team as the business scales.
- Create predictable ARR growth and expand the enterprise customer base.
- Free Chris to operate fully as CEO rather than as the company's most senior salesperson.
- Support the current fundraise, working closely with Ramesh (CCO) and Chris (CEO) on commercial narrative.

What You'll Be Doing
Commercial Leadership & Execution
- Own revenue generation end-to-end: pipeline, conversion, enterprise sales, and partnerships.
- Personally lead sales in the first 3–6 months alongside building the function — this is a builder's role, not a management-only brief.
- Develop and execute a commercial strategy that supports the shift from accounting-led to Software-first revenue.
