Monitor divisional sales performance, identifying risks, opportunities and areas requiring additional focus
Step into priority accounts or complex negotiations where senior commercial support is needed
Build strong relationships with new, existing and strategically important clients
Grow client value through renewals, upselling, cross-selling and opportunities across the wider portfolio
Share effective sales practices, market insight and client intelligence across event teams
Work closely with marketing, product and operations to improve propositions, deliver successful launches and achieve strong client outcomes
