Delegate Sales Executive, Solar Media

This role is based in our 240 Blackfriars office.

Energy Transition Infrastruture (ETI) Formally known as SolarMedia  has three practice areas: Events, Publishing and Market Research. They work together to deliver media solutions that engage audiences and fast track business relationships, all in service of accelerating a clean energy future. The Events practice runs conferences, summits and exhibitions across the ETI portfolio.

This is the entry level of the Delegate Sales pathway. You're expected to have a working grasp of sales practice, to keep learning fast, and to take support and guidance from your line manager and senior colleagues while you build your own pipeline and key relationships.
