Sales & Events Manager
Vibrant and dynamic events venue
London, UK
£37-40,000 salary plus bonus and benefits
We’re working with a growing, people-first hospitality business creating vibrant and dynamic spaces and experiences that bring people together.
This is an exciting opportunity for a confident, commercially minded Sales & Events Manager to own a venue’s sales pipeline and events delivery, from first enquiry through to guest follow-up and play a key role in driving profitable bookings and memorable experiences.
Reporting day-to-day to the General Manager (with a dotted line into the Sales & Marketing Director), you’ll be responsible for converting enquiries into high-quality events, building repeat business and acting as a visible ambassador in the local market.
Your mission is simple: drive revenue, enhance guest experience, and build long-term relationships, all while keeping standards high and operations aligned.
What you’ll be responsible for
* Owning the venue’s inbound and proactive sales pipeline (corporate, private hire, group bookings and events)
* Responding to enquiries quickly, warmly and professionally
* Qualifying enquiries thoroughly and building tailored, margin-protective proposals
* Driving conversion through confident pricing, upselling and clear next steps
* Building key accounts and repeat bookers to generate predictable revenue
* Proactively sourcing new leads via networking, local outreach and partnerships
* Acting as a local brand ambassador at networking events, showcases and industry meet-ups
* Planning and delivering events end-to-end, ensuring seamless handover to Operations
* Being the primary client contact pre-event and during key moments where required
* Leading post-event follow-up to drive reviews, referrals and repeat bookings
* Using CRM systems with discipline: accurate pipelines, forecasting and reporting
* Collaborating closely with Marketing, Operations and fellow venue teams
What success looks like
* A healthy, well-managed sales pipeline with accurate forecasting
* Strong enquiry response times and high conversion rates
* Increased repeat business through great relationships and aftercare
* Seamless event delivery with no surprises for guests or operations
* Clear visibility on performance, opportunities and risks
* Consistent contribution to filling quieter trading periods
About you
* Experience in hospitality sales and events (multi-site a plus)
* Confident managing enquiries, pricing and proposals end-to-end
* Commercially sharp with a strong eye on margin and upsell
* Highly organised, calm under pressure and great with people
* Comfortable networking and building relationships in the local market
* Collaborative, proactive and detail-oriented
