Sponsorship Sales Executive | Exhibition & Conference Sales | High-Profile West African Mining Summit
Day rate: £450/day (Outside IR35) + commission
Location: Remote, based in the UK, with travel out for the event in November
Contract length: To the end of the event (roughly 2 to 3 months), with likely extension
I'm working with a major commodities events business on a contract sponsorship sales role. You'll be selling sponsorship and exhibition packages into a large-scale mining summit in West Africa, a government-backed event pulling 1,000 to 1,500 people from across the mining world.
This isn't cold calling. Leads are coming in daily and around $3m of sponsorship is already confirmed. You'll pick up the warm inbound, move fast on calls and WhatsApp, and close the gold-and-below packages. It's outside IR35, fully remote, and you can be based anywhere in the UK, with a trip out to the event itself in November.
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.
What They're Looking For:
- Sponsorship or exhibition sales: ideally on larger trade shows
- Conference or conceptual selling experience
- Fast and responsive: happy to jump on quick 5 to 10 minute calls
- Personable, at ease with West African Francophone business culture
- Self-sufficient across complex, multi-stakeholder setups
- Available to travel out for the event in November
What You'll Work With:
- Warm inbound leads plus a named target list
- Sponsorship and exhibition packages from $14k to $80k
- Buyers across West Africa, Europe, China and beyond
- WhatsApp and quick calls as the main sales channels
- A full sales kit: brochure, packages, agenda, live website and marketing
Nice to Haves:
- French: spoken, a strong plus that could extend the contract
- Mining, commodities or raw materials sector knowledge
- Selling into pan-African or emerging markets
Why Join / Projects?
You're coming in with the hard part already done. There's a brochure, detailed packages, a live website and marketing in full flow, so you're selling something real and well backed rather than pitching a concept.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
The targets are clear: a revenue number to hit (realistically around $300k to $400k) and a volume play too, 60 to 80 exhibitors across the show floor. The name behind the event carries weight, so doors open, and the buying culture is quick and conversational. If you like moving fast and closing warm leads, this is your kind of sale.
The contract runs to the end of the event. If it lands well, the plan is to run the summit again across the next few editions, so there's a strong chance of being kept on, especially if you speak French.
If this is your kind of sale, apply, and I'll give you a call to talk it through.
