-Working closely with our Events and Audience Development teams to deliver market-leading events that meet client expectations.
-Attending events in the UK, representing Citywire professionally and expanding your knowledge of the asset management and financial advice sectors.
-Staying up to date with market trends, competitor activity, and client needs to identify new opportunities.
What we’re looking for:
-Sales Focus & Motivation: A tenacious, commercially minded individual with a clear drive to meet and exceed revenue targets.
-Strong Relationship Skills: You’ll enjoy meeting people, developing rapport, and influencing decision-making.
-Confident Communication: Comfortable presenting proposals and ideas to clients at varying levels of seniority.
-Highly Organised: Able to juggle multiple opportunities, prioritise effectively, and stay on top of deadlines.
-Adaptable & Collaborative: A flexible team player who thrives in a fast-paced, changing environment and works well with others.
-Interest in Event Sales & Financial Services: Some exposure to, or curiosity about, financial services or B2B events would be an advantage, though not essential.
We cover – and connect – all sides of the $100 trillion global asset management industry – through our news, events and insights.
At Citywire, we uphold a culture rooted in honesty, integrity, and fairness, where every voice is valued and heard. Our culture promotes constructive dialogue and collaboration on a global scale.
Join the team at the Heart of Wealth.
-Generous holiday entitlement: Start with 25 days per annum, increasing to 28 days after three years’ service, and 30 days after five years’ service, in addition to bank holidays.
-Flexible working options.
-£480 annual allowance for well-being activities or gym memberships, with assistance available for monthly or annual costs.
