Senior Venue and Events Sales Manager

Location: Southwark, London (5 days per week on-site)
Salary: £50,000 base + commission (2% of GP once on target)

We're hiring a Senior Sales Manager to drive revenue across a portfolio of distinctive, design-led event spaces in Southwark. This is a senior individual-contributor role, ideal for someone who thrives in proactive sales, knows how to sell experiences (not just space), and is confident owning the full sales cycle from first contact to signed contract.

You'll be selling across multiple event environments - from meeting and conference spaces through to large-scale white-space events - building bespoke packages from the ground up using external catering and production partners.

The Role

  • Own and drive sales across corporate events, conferences, award shows, immersive experiences, brand events, Christmas parties and private hires.

  • Sell the full venue offering end-to-end, collaborating with internal teams who focus on specific spaces while maintaining overall commercial ownership of the client.

  • Proactively generate new business, targeting 15-20 companies per week through outbound activity, account development and relationship building.

  • Build bespoke event proposals from scratch, coordinating external caterers, suppliers and production partners to deliver complete event solutions.

  • Manage the full sales cycle: prospecting, pitching, site visits, proposal creation, contract negotiation and close.

  • Work to clear KPIs based on gross profit, with quarterly objectives and revenue targets.

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in event venue sales, hospitality sales or large-scale event sales.

  • A strong client network / black book across corporates, agencies, planners or brands.

  • Confident selling a wide range of event formats, from conferences and awards to parties and immersive experiences.

  • Commercially sharp, proactive and comfortable building pipelines through outbound sales.

  • Experience working with external caterers and suppliers to build tailored event packages.

  • Strong negotiation skills and confidence closing high-value deals.

Package & Benefits

  • £50,000 base salary (flexibility for the right candidate)

  • 2% commission on all GP once target is hit (no stretch targets currently)

  • 5 days per week on-site in Southwark

  • Strong operational and events support teams

  • Free breakfast, lunch and refreshments

  • On-site gym, fitness classes and wellness benefits

  • Dog-friendly office and access to cultural events

  • Season ticket loan, cycle to work scheme and additional wellbeing perks

  • Your birthday off

This is a high-autonomy role in a fast-paced environment, perfect for a commercially driven sales professional who knows how to win business, build relationships and sell unforgettable event experiences.
