🚀 Head of Sales - B2B Events | Bristol | Uncapped Commission | August Start Date
Ready to make the jump from Senior BDM to your first Head of Sales role?
Synergy Group has doubled in size over the past year, and we're looking for an ambitious, commercially driven sales professional to help us keep that momentum going.
We deliver high-impact networking experiences for senior business leaders through executive dinners, roundtables, and industry events, working with global and Fortune 500 brands.
The role:
This is a strictly new business sales leadership role. You'll be leading a team of BDMs and BDEs, not managing account managers or customer success. If you're currently smashing targets at Senior BDM level and ready to lead a sales team while still closing your own deals, this is your next move, with a clear path to Director of Sales.
