• Work to clear KPIs based on gross profit, with quarterly objectives and revenue targets.

What We're Looking For

• A strong client network / black book across corporates, agencies, planners or brands.

• Confident selling a wide range of event formats, from conferences and awards to parties and immersive experiences.
