We are looking for an experienced Senior Account Manager to join our Business Events team

This is a commercially focused role for someone with a strong background in MICE, destination marketing or business events sales, who enjoys building relationships with corporate buyers, incentive agencies and global meeting planners.

You will act as a senior market representative for destination clients, generating qualified leads for meetings and incentive programmes (typically 150+ delegates), developing a strong pipeline of opportunities, and supporting destinations through the RFP and bid process.

The role involves regular engagement with corporate meeting planners, incentive agencies, global meeting management companies and event procurement teams, alongside close collaboration with convention bureaux, DMCs, hotels and venues to convert opportunities into confirmed business.

You will also represent clients through sales calls, destination presentations, buyer meetings, site inspections and familiarisation trips, as well as at major industry platforms such as IMEX, IBTM and hosted buyer events. Alongside sales activity, you will provide clients with regular reporting, pipeline updates and market insight to support strategic decision making.

You will have a strong understanding of the UK and European meetings and incentive travel market, excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to generate and manage a pipeline of qualified opportunities.

You will bring 6–8+ years’ experience in Business Events, MICE sales or destination representation (experience working with DMOs, convention bureaux, tourism boards, hotels or destination marketing organisations is advantageous).

Strong communication and presentation skills are essential, as is the ability to manage multiple projects and stakeholders in a fast‑paced, client‑focused environment.

If you are passionate about the global business events industry and enjoy connecting buyers with inspiring destinations, we would love to hear from you.
