The Company
Our client is a global events and exhibitions company, organising some of Europe's most exciting shows. They're expanding their European sales team and looking for a driven, Spanish speaking Business Development Manager to help grow their presence across the continent.

 

The Job
As a Spanish speaking Business Development Manager, your role will be to develop sales of their event in Barcelona, to exhibitors and sponsors. Your clients will be a mix of previous exhibitors and new prospects you research and approach yourself. The role offers a good balance of new business development and account management.


Typical job responsibilities will include:


  • Sell exhibition and sponsorship opportunities
  • Build commercial relationships with senior decision-makers
  • Identify new business opportunities
  • Manage full sales cycles for sponsorship or commercial deals
  • Build and maintain relationships with mid-level stakeholders
  • Prepare tailored proposals and contracts
  • Maintain up-to-date records in Salesforce and other tools
  • Provide accurate sales forecasts
  • Participate in planning and feedback with internal teams

 

Candidate profile


  • Fluent in Spanish 
  • Educated to university degree level — any subject
  • Previous sales experience in any sector is an advantage but not essential — no B2B events experience required, as structured sales training is provided
  • A strong competitive desire to succeed in sales — personality is key
  • Exposure to international events and markets is an advantage but not essential

 

Salary & Working hours:
£30,000–£33,000 basic + 40% commission (OTE c. £50,000). After a 6-month probation, basic salary increases to £36,000.

Monday–Thursday office-based, 9:00am–5:30pm. Friday remote working from home, 9:00am–1:00pm.
