Event Sales Consultant (Freelance), Nottingham Contemporary

Both venues have grown their hire income in recent years, largely through word-of-mouth and repeat bookings. With our teams busy focusing on delivery of high quality events, we have created this shared role to sell our spaces proactively for the first time reaching new clients who might otherwise overlook two of the city's most distinctive event spaces.

As the primary driver of new business, you will identify opportunities across the corporate, public and creative sectors, respond to enquiries with tailored proposals, and convert leads into confirmed bookings. Once a booking is confirmed, our internal teams take over delivery, leaving you to continue engaging with prospective clients. You will build lasting client relationships, help shape compelling hire packages, and recommend whichever venue best suits each client's needs.

This is an externally facing role working across two organisations in a shared capacity, so it calls for a collaborative, transparent and commercial approach.

We are looking for someone with a demonstrable track record of generating new business and meeting sales targets in event sales or business development. You will be a confident self-starter, comfortable with proactive outreach and able to manage a pipeline of prospective clients independently with minimal supervision.

Strong commercial awareness and excellent communication and relationship-building skills are essential, as is the ability to work collaboratively across two organisations and manage a range of stakeholders. Knowledge of the Nottingham and East Midlands market, established networks in the corporate, public or creative sectors, and experience of selling across multiple venues would all be an advantage.
