Convene is seeking a Senior Sales Executive to join its London sales team, reporting to the Head of Inbound Sales. This is a high-volume, client-facing role focused on qualifying inbound event enquiries and owning the end-to-end sales process for mid-sized events (up to 50 attendees).
Key responsibilities include managing incoming enquiries via phone, email, and e-RFP channels; qualifying opportunities against client requirements and Convene's physical and hybrid event solutions; developing proposals and negotiating commercial terms; and converting opportunities to meet revenue targets. You'll conduct professional site visits for smaller opportunities and support Senior Account Managers with larger strategic accounts. The role requires maintaining accurate CRM records in Salesforce and HubSpot, participating in sales meetings and pipeline reviews, and gathering market intelligence and competitive insights to inform strategy.
You'll partner closely with Senior Account Managers to identify growth opportunities within existing accounts, ensuring seamless client transitions and experience. Administrative and operational support to the broader sales team is also expected to maximize team effectiveness and revenue generation.
Ideal candidates have 1–3 years of commercial experience in sales, business development, venue sales, hospitality, events, or customer-facing roles. Experience with CRM platforms (Salesforce, HubSpot) and proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace are required. Background in events, hospitality, commercial real estate, or flexible workspace is highly desirable. You should be commercially minded, excellent at managing multiple priorities, strong communicator (verbal and written), detail-oriented, and comfortable in a fast-paced, target-driven environment. Success is measured by revenue and conversion targets, lead qualification speed and quality, account growth, CRM data accuracy, and positive client feedback.
