Key Responsibilities
- Lead sales and income-generation activity across a busy bookable venue
- Design and deliver sales campaigns that convert and hit income targets
- Develop and manage relationships with senior partners, advertisers and sponsors
- Oversee account management and repeat business
- Contribute to film and location services income (experience here is highly desirable)
- Manage budgets and forecast income accurately
- Lead, motivate and manage staff effectively
- Use and manage the venue booking system (Priava - training provided)
What We're Looking For
- A clear, demonstrable record of meeting or exceeding sales/income targets
- Strong commercial instincts and confidence working in fast-paced environments
- Comfortable managing high-value stakeholders at a senior level
- Experience running or supporting a high-volume, bookable space or service
- Strong people management and budget management skills
- Confident with CRM or venue management systems (Priava experience a bonus, not essential)

- Initial temporary booking until August with potential extension
