Sponsorship Sales Executive

The Company:

When it comes to digital communities, The Alliance is leading the way. Product marketing, sales enablement, product-led growth, AI, customer success, CMOs, you name it, we’re home to thriving communities for them all.

With 160,000+ professionals across our communities and a constant stream of events, memberships, and learning products, we help individuals and teams grow faster in their careers. We work with some of the world’s most recognisable companies and pride ourselves on being a high-impact learning partner, not just another events business.

We’re ambitious, we move quickly, and we’re still early in the journey. That means real ownership, a steep learning curve, and plenty of opportunity to shape what comes next.

The Role

Our events provide sponsors with a powerful platform to drive brand visibility, thought leadership, and lead generation. Join our dynamic team and drive sales to new commercial prospects, creating valuable connections and driving business growth.

As part of our growing team, we’re offering the opportunity to work in a dynamic, modern environment where your ideas are valued, and your career growth is supported. We’re looking for a driven, ambitious, and entrepreneurial Sponsorship Sales Executive to take ownership of selling event sponsorships for our thriving in-person conferences and summits.

Core Responsabilities

• Event Sponsorship Sales Ownership: Drive revenue by selling sponsorship opportunities for in-person conferences and summits across The Alliance’s community portfolios.

• Client Engagement & Relationship Building: Build and nurture relationships with decision-makers (e.g., VPs, Global Directors, and C-Suite executives) to uncover their needs and showcase the value of our events as a marketing channel.

• Tailored Solutions Selling: Craft bespoke sponsorship packages tailored to partner goals, including branding, thought leadership, and lead generation opportunities.

• Pipeline Management: Manage your sales pipeline from identifying and qualifying prospects to closing high-value deals.

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with marketing, events, and operations teams to ensure successful delivery of sponsorships and flawless execution for partners.

• Outbound Sales Activity: Conduct daily outbound calls to prospective clients and key decision-makers to generate new business opportunities, qualify leads, build relationships, and drive sponsorship sales.

Requirements

If the below sounds like you - we’d love to hear from you:

• Proven Event Sponsorship Sales Success: 2+ years of experience selling high-value event sponsorships to enterprise clients, with a track record of exceeding revenue targets.

• Exceptional Relationship Builder: You thrive on connecting with senior decision-makers and building long-term, consultative relationships.

• Strong Negotiator: Confident in managing complex negotiations and closing deals with stakeholders from SMBs to Enterprises.

• Results-Driven & Resilient: Challenging targets don’t intimidate you, and you have a demonstrable history of consistently exceeding them.

• Entrepreneurial Mindset: You’re adaptable, self-motivated, and eager to take ownership of your portfolio while experimenting with creative approaches to sales.

Base Salary £35,000-38,000 depending on experience (OTE £70K+ uncapped)
