We need someone who will get out there, create demand, build a healthy pipeline and turn opportunities into revenue while making the booking journey straightforward for every customer.\nYou’ll have the freedom to shape how we sell the venues, package the offer and grow the events business. There is real scope to make your mark.\nWhat you’ll be doing\nYou’ll own the sales and events journey across several locations, from the first conversation to delivery and follow-up.\nIn practice, you’ll:\nProactively promote our event spaces and find new revenue opportunities.\nBuild strong relationships with workplace communities, event organisers, corporate bookers and prospective clients.\nHandle incoming enquiries quickly, personally and with commercial focus.\nCreate proposals, quotations, packages and event ideas that make people want to book.\nUse our sales, CRM and event-booking systems properly to manage activity, conversion and pipeline.\nDevelop seasonal event brochures, sales materials and targeted campaigns.\nKeep deposits, contracts, booking details, event administration and final invoicing accurate and on time.\nBe the customer’s main point of contact throughout the booking journey.\nWork closely with chefs and operational teams to turn briefs into memorable events.\nKnow what is selling, what is not and where we need to push harder.\nTrack conversion, repeat business and revenue, then use the numbers to improve results.\nSupport the delivery of important events when needed.\nThis is a proper commercial role, not a booking administrator position. You’ll own the pipeline, keep the CRM in good order, improve conversion and make sure customers have a great experience across every location.\nWhat success looks like\nYou’ll know you are making an impact when:\nThe sales pipeline is active, visible and growing.\nEnquiries are handled quickly and converted confidently.\nRevenue grows across the portfolio.\nCustomers come back because the experience was brilliant.\nOur event packages feel current, relevant and commercially strong.\nLocations are promoted proactively rather than relying solely on inbound demand.\nOperational teams receive clear, accurate information and are properly set up to deliver.\nWe understand where opportunities are being won, lost or left on the table.\nClients see us as creative, responsive and easy to work with.\nPut simply, we need dedicated ownership that grows event revenue, improves the booking journey and gives operational teams the information they need to deliver well.\nWhat we’re looking for\nWe’re less interested in the job titles you have held than in what you have delivered.\nYou’ll need\nA track record of growing sales and revenue in events, hospitality, venues or another customer-led business.\nExperience managing enquiries, proposals, conversion and repeat business.\nConfidence using CRM, online sales or event-booking systems. TripleSeat experience would be useful, but it is not essential.\nClear, confident written and verbal communication.\nReal commercial drive and the confidence to go after opportunities.\nA strong feel for customer experience. How people are treated during the booking process matters as much as the event itself.\nThe organisation to manage several locations, competing priorities and deadlines without losing the detail.\nCreativity when developing packages, events and campaigns.\nConfidence working with clients, chefs and operational teams.\nGood judgement knowing when to challenge, adapt or get stuck in.\nThe resilience to stay calm and find solutions when plans change.\nYou’ll be ambitious, accountable and full of ideas and practical enough to turn those ideas into revenue.\nA commercial role with an operational heartbeat\nThis is mainly a sales and events role, but hospitality does not always happen neatly behind a laptop.\nThere will be occasions when you need to be visible at an event, support the team, solve a problem or help bring an important experience to life. You won’t be expected to run every event personally, but you must be comfortable getting close to the operation when it matters.\nThat matters. You need to be able to sell the promise and understand what it takes to deliver it. It is also how we lead at BaxterStorey: commercially focused, close to the customer and willing to help on the floor when needed.\nWorking pattern\nYou’ll mainly work Monday to Friday during normal business hours.\nThere will be some evenings and weekends, depending on the events calendar, but they will not be the normal weekly pattern.\nWhy this opportunity is different\nMany sales and events roles are about maintaining someone else’s process. This one is about building something better.\nYou’ll have several locations and very different spaces to bring to market. The opportunity is to join up sales, marketing, digital booking, customer experience and operational delivery properly.\nYou’ll have room to test ideas, sharpen the packages, challenge how we sell and create a more proactive commercial rhythm across the portfolio.\nYou’ll be trusted to take ownership and expected to make things happen.\n Relevant academic or professional qualification in the respective field.\nPrevious experience in a similar role within the hospitality industry is preferred.\nStrong communication and interpersonal skills.\nCustomer-focused with a positive and professional attitude.\nAbility to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.\nStrong organizational skills with attention to detail.\n Interested?\nIf you can show how you have grown revenue, converted opportunities, built loyal customer relationships and delivered brilliant events, we would like to hear from you.\nTell us what you achieved, how you did it and what you think you could build here.\nBring the energy, commercial thinking and ideas. We’ll give you the platform to make a visible impact across London.\nWe want our recruitment process to be inclusive and accessible. We welcome applications from people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. If you need any adjustments to take part fully in the process, please let us know.","description_format":"text","description_chars":7378,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Life insurance"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Catering & Food Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-21T10:15:32Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":47,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.518,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":12,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:3","stale_co","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-02T06:13:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":60191,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/wsh-sales-events-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/wsh-sales-events-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T02:10:25Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":2887,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":698908},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=698908"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fwsh-sales-events-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fwsh-sales-events-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fwsh-sales-events-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/wsh-sales-events-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fwsh-sales-events-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2992118}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"wshlimited.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2992118},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
