Sponsorship Sales Executive | Sponsorship & Events Sales | Global Data Business
Salary: £55,000 + £25k bonus on target, uncapped above target
Location: London, hybrid (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in the office)
International travel to events
I'm working with a global commodities data, news and events business, 700+ people worldwide, who are hiring an Account Executive to sell sponsorship across their international events. It's a pure new business role based in London, in the office Tuesday to Thursday.
You'll take on 2-3 events in their global portfolio, covering markets like metals and mining, agriculture, forest products and energy transition. Your job is to build the pipeline: find the right person at new sponsors, get in front of them through cold outreach, and sell bespoke sponsorship packages.
A commodities background isn't needed, but you'll need a sponsorship sales track record with the new business numbers to back it up.
What They're Looking For
- Sponsorship sales: 3+ years across events, exhibitions or media
- New business: a proven record, with the numbers to show it
- Prospecting and cold outreach to senior decision makers
- Value-based selling of bespoke commercial packages
- CRM discipline: Salesforce, HubSpot or similar
- International travel to events

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You'll sell events you then attend, meeting sponsors face to face at global shows. You'll work closely with production and editorial, so you shape each package around what's on the agenda. You'll be in a flat team of six sales executives, in an open culture with no politics and plenty of room for new ideas.
It's a numbers-led team with structured KPIs and regular pipeline reporting, so this suits someone who likes being measured and wants to open new accounts rather than manage existing ones.
