Olympia
Olympia is coming to the end of a major £1.3bn redevelopment project. The vision being to transform from a traditional exhibition venue into a global destination for culture, hospitality, events, and entertainment. The project combined restoration to the heritage halls with the addition of a new 3,800-capacity music venue, a theatre, two hotels, a number of different bars and restaurants, world-class office space, and 2 acres of public realm.
Olympia Events is more than an exhibition venue, conference centre, and live-event space—it’s an inspiration. Against a backdrop of grand Victorian architecture, the seven connected spaces inspire engagement and enjoyment. Olympia Events is recognised in the industry for exceptional levels of customer service and support, and our numerous awards are testament to our clients' satisfaction. Beyond the walls of our venue, Olympia is on the ground, working to invest in people, strengthen our communities, and protect the environment.
Job Purpose
Olympia is looking for a Senior Premium Sales Executive to bring a proactive and strategic approach to selling premium memberships for our new premium lounge ‘The Addison’ and event-by-event hospitality sales for all live-events across the new Olympia estate.
We are bringing a range of live entertainment to Olympia including music, comedy, indoor sporting events, and more. The Senior Premium Sales Executive will drive sales to achieve sell-out of these events as well as securing memberships for The Addison.
Reporting directly to the Head of Sales, you will be responsible for identifying, developing, a premium database, delivering hospitality experiences that align with Olympia’s launch plan and strategic goals along with securing memberships for The Addison. You will be a highly motivated and results-orientated sales professional with a strong background in premium sales, luxury services, or membership programmes.
