As the Military Events Audience Executive, you will be working for a successful company that organise global events alongside the Army and Navy. You will be working within the Audience Team who bring a more diverse and senior-level audience than any other event in their market. You will be at the heart of all that they do, and you will play a critical role in the success of their events. This is a fast-paced team who enjoy the challenge of researching, networking, and holding daily conversations with some of the world’s most decorated and senior military figures. They are looking for someone who has a curious mind and is not afraid to ask questions.
This is a phone-based role where you will be conducting numerous phone discussions each day, with the goal of confirming senior ranking services personnel to attend our events, free of charge as a VIP, via a tried-and-tested process. You will also build relationships and network face-to-face when you attend their global events. This opportunity will give you the chance to travel internationally, as you will attend around four fully paid-for global events a year, each for around 2-4 days. You will receive full training and support in this amazing role.
To be considered for the Military Events Audience Executive you will need…
A valid passport to travel.
To live within a reasonable distance of Chelmsford.
To have an extremely clear and professional telephone manner.
Confidence to speak to senior ranking services personnel within the Army and Navy.
To be driven, motivated, enthusiastic, and confident to work to sales targets.
To be passionate and engaged to work alongside the Armed Forces.
In terms of experience, you will need recent office-based telephone sales experience or to be a graduate with no sales experience but with a passion for getting into military event sales. Ex-military with no sales experience will also be considered. As a company they are pro-graduates and ex-military, as they consistently excel within the role. However, this opportunity is open to experienced sales professionals who do not have a degree or a military background.
If you have any exposure to the Armed Forces such as the Army, Navy, Royal Air Force or Cadets (either yourself, your friends, or your family) it would be highly beneficial, but this is not essential.
This is an amazing, rare, and unique job opportunity!
