The Company

Based in Bank, London, this specialist executive search business partners with leading organisations across technology, finance, investment banking and asset management. The company is growing quickly, with strong investor backing, an established client network and an experienced leadership team.

You’ll use phone, email and LinkedIn outreach, combining warm and cold conversations while working towards clear sales targets and KPIs. You’ll receive plenty of training to develop your confidence, commercial awareness and B2B sales skills, with opportunities to progress quickly into management or move into sponsorship sales.

  • Engage senior decision-makers through phone, email and LinkedIn outreach.
  • Build relationships with business leaders across international markets.
  • Promote relevant events and communicate their value to potential delegates.
  • Work towards individual sales targets and activity KPIs.
  • Manage a mixture of warm leads and new business outreach.
  • Collaborate with colleagues to deliver successful event campaigns.

Requirements

Must-Have

  • A 2:1 degree or above in any discipline.
  • At least one year’s customer-facing experience, including hospitality.
