Full-time
Posted
Location
London, United Kingdom

As an Event Sales Executive at The Arding Rooms, you will own event enquiries from first contact to confirmed booking, hosting show rounds, creating proposals, and following up on opportunities. You'll sell the venue for corporate and social events, working towards targets while building strong client relationships. You'll collaborate with the events team to ensure successful delivery and take pride in seeing events come to life.

Responsibilities

  • From conferences and private dinners to drinks parties and celebrations, you’ll own event enquiries from the first conversation to a confirmed booking.
  • You’ll get to know what clients are looking for, host show rounds, create proposals and follow up on opportunities - ultimately turning great enquiries into memorable events.
  • It is a commercial role with targets to hit, but how you get there matters too. We want someone who listens, understands what a client is trying to achieve and brings a warm, personal approach from the very first interaction.
  • You also know the job doesn’t end when the contract is signed. You’ll work closely with the team delivering our events, care about what happens on the day and take real pride in seeing something you helped bring through the door come to life.

Requirements

  • As an ambitious sales professional, you love the buzz of turning an initial enquiry into a contract.
  • You’re commercially minded and comfortable working towards targets, but you’re not about the hard sell. You listen, ask intuitive questions and build strong relationships that give clients confidence they’re in safe hands.
  • Personality is a big part of this role, but you’ll also be confident using CRM tools, Microsoft Office and social media for lead generation. And given our passion for sustainability, working for an ethically driven business will mean something to you.
  • Ideally, you will bring event sales experience from a hotel, members’ club or similar hospitality-led venue and understand the full sales journey.
