Event Sales Manager – b2b
Can be fully remote, with office visits to Bristol 1 x per month
We’re working with an independent B2B media company that delivers conferences, festivals, and awards programmes across the UK and Europe. Their events bring together professionals from the marketing and digital world to network, learn, and collaborate.
The company is expanding its events portfolio and is looking for an experienced Event Sales Manager to join the team. This is a commercially focused role, responsible for driving exhibition and sponsorship revenue, converting inbound leads, and building new business opportunities across multiple events.
You’ll join a friendly, fast paced and growing organisation that fully supports their employees, offers excellent benefits and regular social get togethers.
The role
As Event Sales Manager, you’ll manage the full commercial process — from identifying potential sponsors and exhibitors to negotiating contracts and maintaining client relationships. You’ll work closely with the wider sales and events team to ensure each event reaches its revenue goals while providing a strong client experience.
This position suits someone who’s proactive, target-driven, and confident managing the full sales cycle.

- Previous success in B2B sales
- Experience with events, sponsorship or exhibition would be useful
- Excellent communication and negotiation skills, comfortable working with senior decision-makers
- Knowledge of digital/influencer marketing is desirable – not essential

Moxie and Mettle is a UK-based recruitment company; our clients are based in the UK too. Although many clients offer remote working as an option, there is still a need to regularly visit company offices and clients in the UK. Therefore, applications from overseas are unlikely to be successful, unless applicants already have plans to be in the UK several times a month/year to facilitate meetings with both the teams and clients.
