Sponsorship Sales Manager - Launch Events

Sponsorship Sales Manager - Tech Events (Launch Portfolio)

London Office - Hybrid working

Base Salary up to £50,000 + Uncapped Commission

A rare opportunity for an experienced B2B sponsorship sales professional to join an events business that has a strong track record of successful event launches. The business is launching a brand new, large-scale tech expo and is looking for the right commercial hire to help make it a success from day one.

They know how to do this well. The marketing is in place, the operational expertise is there, and a talented Conference Director is shaping the content! What they need now is a commercially driven sponsorship sales professional who can match that ambition and help make this launch a standout success.

This is a genuine ground-floor opportunity on something with real scale and momentum behind it.

The Role

You will be responsible for building and converting a sponsorship pipeline from scratch. Working closely with the Conference Director and SLT, you will play a central role in shaping the commercial proposition and driving revenue from day one.

This is not a role for someone who needs a warm seat and an existing client list handed to them. It suits someone who is energised by a blank canvas, confident in selling a vision, and motivated by the scale of what is being built.

What You Will Be Doing

• Identifying, approaching and closing new sponsorship partners for a large-scale tech event
• Collaborating closely with the Conference Director and SLT to align content and commercial strategy
• Building and managing a strong pipeline, with clear forecasting and reporting
• Developing bespoke sponsorship packages that reflect partner objectives and event positioning
• Representing the brand at industry events and in the market

What They Are Looking For

• Proven b2b sponsorship experience within B2B events
• A track record of selling at pace into new or launch products
• Someone who thrives in an office environment and values the energy of a collaborative, in-person team
• Confident, credible and consultative in approach
• Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up

Why This Role

This business has done it before and knows what good looks like. You will have the backing of experienced and agile teams in marketing and operations, a genuinely strong product, and real commercial upside if you deliver. For the right person, this is a career-defining opportunity to be part of a major launch from the very beginning.
