Event Sales Account Executive
at Hire SpaceHire Space is looking for a high-performing Event Sales Account Executive to join our revenue team in London. This isn't just a transactional sales job. You will own the full sales cycle, convert high-intent inbound enquiries, and strategically grow your own book of business through lucrative framework agreements and corporate partnerships. With a realistic, uncapped £60-£80k+ OTE, a sophisticated tech stack, and a product that London's top brands already love, your earning potential is entirely in your hands. The Role: As a Event Sales Account Executive, you are a core revenue driver. You will navigate the full sales cycle from initial discovery to closing high-value event bookings, while securing long-term loyalty via our premium service tiers (like Hire Space 360). This role balances reactive closing with proactive, strategic hunting:
- Own and close inbound enquiries from SME and mid-market clients, managing the full cycle from discovery and venue shortlisting to negotiation and closing.
- Build, grow, and retain a lucrative client portfolio, maximising long-term revenue through upsells, cross-sells, and re-engaging dormant accounts.
- Identify and secure high-value corporate opportunities, including framework agreements, license fees, and minimum spend contracts.
- Generate new pipelines through targeted multi-channel outreach (LinkedIn, email, phone, and industry networking).
- Develop strong client relationships and secure repeat business through regular face-to-face meetings, site visits, and industry events.
- Sell Hire Space's event tech platform alongside managed services while maintaining accurate pipeline data in HubSpot CRM. What's in it for you: We believe in rewarding high performance with an industry-leading benefits package and a culture that values work-life balance.
- Financial Reward: £30k–£40k base + commission (£60,000 - £80,000 realistic OTE).
- Work-Life Balance: 3pm Friday finishes during BST (average 36-hour working week over the year).
- Time Off: 32 days holiday allowance (plus long-service increments) + Mental Health Leave + 4 weeks company-paid sick leave.
- Health & Wellness: Medicash Pro-Active Health Cash Plan & access to the Juno wellbeing platform.
- Family Friendly: Workplace Nursery Scheme (huge tax savings on childcare fees) + exceptional maternity/paternity packages.
- Perks: Free nights out in top London venues, £200 home office allowance, Tech & Cycle schemes, and regular team lunches. The Essentials:
- Demonstrable experience managing pipelines and hitting/exceeding revenue targets.
- Comfort with the entire sales cycle; from cold/warm outreach to negotiation and closing.
- A consultative approach to selling; you ask great questions to find the real pain points.
- Highly organised and disciplined with CRM systems (HubSpot experience is a massive plus).
- This is a high-activity, in-person role. You must live within a commutable distance of Central London. The Bonuses (Nice-to-Haves):
- Have experience in the events industry
- Have experience selling a service, platform, SaaS product, or technology solution
- Have knowledge of London venues or corporate event programmes Logistics & Hybrid Structure Our client base is predominantly in London, meaning face-to-face connection is necessary.
- Office Days: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday are mandatory in-office days at our London HQ (Wednesday is our high-energy team outbound and product training day).
- Remote Days: Monday and Friday offer WFH flexibility (unless client site visits or events require you in the field). Click Apply Now to complete the application on Hire Spaces application page. Let's build something huge together 🚀
