Enterprise Account Executive Event Sales

As an Enterprise Account Executive at Hire Space, you’ll own and grow our largest and most strategically important client relationships; enterprise organisations with complex structures, multiple stakeholders, and significant event spend.

This is a senior individual contributor role focused on winning and growing enterprise accounts through strategic relationship building, multi-event programmes, framework agreements, and long-term partnerships. You’ll manage the full sales cycle from first engagement through to close, while building and executing strategic account plans that grow revenue year on year.

You’ll engage with senior stakeholders including Directors, Heads of Department, Procurement teams, and C-suite, positioning Hire Space as a strategic partner rather than a transactional supplier.
