Job Summary

We're hiring a Commercial Lead (Sponsorships & Partnerships) to drive the next stage of growth for a fast-scaling B2B events brand in the HR space. This is a high-impact, client-facing role where you will own the commercial strategy, drive new sponsorship revenue, and deepen relationships with HR tech vendors and consultancies across People Analytics, SWP, HRIS/HCM, L&D, and more.

This role is perfect for a senior-level commercial leader with B2B events or HR tech sales experience who’s ready to lead from the front — blending strategic thinking with hands-on execution and executive-level client engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the commercial function for solution provider sales across flagship summits and executive roundtables.
• Develop and refine sponsorship packages — including stage time, curated 1:1 meetings, and digital/on-demand extensions.
• Lead senior-level conversations with CMOs, Heads of Field Marketing, and Partnership leads in the HR tech ecosystem.
• Craft compelling proposals and negotiate contracts with enterprise-level clients.
• Design and lead scalable go-to-market strategies for anchor partners, renewals, and multi-event sponsorships.
• Evolve the value story and event positioning through updated decks, messaging, and one-pagers.
• Create commercial playbooks and sales infrastructure to scale the sponsorship engine.
• Be a visible commercial leader at events, hosting sponsors, moderating discussions, and facilitating networking.
• Work cross-functionally with event operations and marketing to ensure seamless sponsor delivery.

• 3-5+ years of experience in B2B commercial sales, sponsorships, or partnerships (events/media or HR tech industry preferred).
• Strong executive presence and ability to lead strategic sales conversations with senior stakeholders.
• Experience selling high-value, consultative sponsorships or partnership packages.
• Deep familiarity (or fast learning curve) with domains like People Analytics, SWP, HRIS, L&D, TA Tech, and EX.
• Proven ability to build sales infrastructure and contribute to brand and messaging evolution.
• Comfortable working in lean, founder-led environments with pace, autonomy, and accountability.
• Willingness to travel to London for events and hosted dinners (2–4x per year).

Nice to Have
