Sales Executive – The Assembly Hair Portfolio
Location: The Assembly HQ, Shenfield Essex but with the requirement to visit clients and events
Salary: Competitive + commission
Start: As soon as possible
The Assembly is growing and we’re looking for a brilliant sales professional to join our team and help shape the next chapter of our hair portfolio.
We’re looking for an ambitious, commercially minded Sales Executive to work across our growing portfolio of brands serving the professional hair and barbering industry.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves sales, events, brands and people and wants to play a genuine role in growing exciting, market-leading platforms rather than simply selling advertising space or exhibition stands.
The Portfolio
You’ll work across an exciting portfolio including:
- HAIRCON – our dynamic, disruptive trade event for the professional hair and barbering industry.
- Creative HEAD – an established and influential voice for professional hair, connecting brands with salons, stylists and industry leaders through print, digital and live experiences.
- FADED – our premium print title dedicated to the professional barbering market.
- Alongside our wider portfolio of awards, content, education and live experiences.
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.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for developing new business, managing existing commercial relationships and creating partnerships across our hair portfolio.
You’ll be selling across a mix of:
- Magazine advertising and advertorial
- Digital and social campaigns
- Content partnerships
- Event partnerships and exhibition opportunities
- Sponsorship and brand activations
- Awards and industry opportunities
- Bespoke commercial partnerships
But most importantly, you’ll be selling ideas and opportunities not just products. We want someone who can understand a client's objectives, challenge their thinking and build a commercial proposition that genuinely delivers value.
We’re Looking For Someone Who:
- Is commercially driven, ambitious and hungry to succeed
- Has proven B2B sales experience ideally within media & publishing
- Is confident prospecting, pitching and closing new business
- Can build strong, long-term client relationships
- Is comfortable speaking to senior decision-makers and major brands
- Has excellent communication and presentation skills
- Is organised, proactive and able to manage multiple opportunities
- Enjoys working in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment
- Is excited by the hair, beauty, barbering or creative industries
- Wants to make a difference and grow with the business
- Can work to a monthly deadline & revenue target

Industry experience is advantageous, but attitude, commercial instinct and the ability to build relationships are what really matter.
Why Join The Assembly?
This isn’t a traditional sales role.
You’ll be joining a growing independent events and media business where you’ll have the opportunity to own relationships, develop new commercial ideas and see your work come to life.
You’ll be part of a team building some of the most exciting platforms in the professional hair industry with plenty of opportunity to develop, progress and make your mark.
If you’re a natural salesperson who loves people, brands, ideas and getting deals done, we’d love to hear from you.
