Our client is looking for a dynamic Conference Sponsorship Sales Manager to join their team

About this position:

• This role is focused on driving sponsorship revenue across a portfolio of B2B conferences.

• You'll be operating in a growing environment where not all events have an established track record.

• You will need to build pipeline, create opportunities, and close deals without relying on brand strength or inbound demand.

• Success in this role comes from creating momentum, not waiting for it.

What you will be doing:

• Driving new business through outbound prospecting

• Building and managing your own pipeline

• Owning the full sales cycle from initial outreach through to close

• Selling sponsorship solutions to senior stakeholders (including C-suite)

• Converting opportunities where clients may hesitate or delay commitment

• Working closely with internal teams to shape commercially viable sponsorship offerings

What they are looking for:

• 5+ years of B2B sales experience (conference sponsorship experience helpful but not essential)

• Proven track record in new business development

• Experience owning and managing full sales cycles

• Confidence engaging senior stakeholders

• Self-starter, comfortable operating in a lean environment

What will matter most:

• Ability to build pipeline from scratch

• Confidence selling concepts, not just established products

• Resilience in handling hesitation and longer sales cycles

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability

• Focus on closing and revenue, not just relationship building

If this role is of interest, send me a few bullet points covering:

• Why you are a strong fit for this role (be specific, not generic)

• One example where you built pipeline from zero - include how you did it and the revenue outcome

• One example where you sold something without a strong track record - how you positioned it and what happened

• A recent deal you closed - how you moved the client from hesitation to commitment
