Sales Executive - #2186219

The British Health Awards is a unique awards programme that includes fields such as healthcare, social care, fitness, food and the environment. Our goal is to celebrate the people and organisations that are passionate about helping us all lead healthier and ultimately better lives.

This Sales Executive position is a new role that is focused on driving delegate attendance to our flagship event (the British Health Awards) and working with partners to identify, sell and support the delivery of value-adding sponsorship opportunities.

Over the next 12 months, they’ll also be opportunities to commercialise a number of other formats, e.g. executive roundtables and exhibitions, and so a candidate that is confident and able to demonstrate a track-record of building successful commercial relationships with partners would be a huge plus.
