• Create compelling event and sponsorship packages and close commercial agreements
• Own the delivery of events and sponsor activations, working closely with site teams
• Ensure events are commercially successful, professionally delivered and repeatable
• Identify opportunities to maximise secondary revenue linked to events (pricing, memberships, F&B, retail)

What We’re Looking For

• 4+ years’ experience in sales, partnerships, or commercial events (sport, hospitality or lifestyle preferred)
• Proven track record of closing deals and delivering revenue targets
• Confident pitching to businesses, brands and partners
• Highly organised, commercially minded and comfortable working autonomously
• Strong relationship-builder with a proactive, can-do attitude
