In this key role, you'll take ownership of the full event sales cycle-from prospecting and outreach to client consultation, proposal development, closing, and renewals. You'll partner closely with a team of dedicated event and cross-platform sales professionals to deliver high-value sponsorships and event integrations. You will lead strategic outreach efforts, champion the Bloomberg value proposition, and help shape memorable event experiences that deliver measurable results. This is a consultative, relationship-driven role, ideal for a strategic seller who excels at cultivating trust, expanding existing client partnerships, and unlocking new business opportunities.

• Engage clients and stakeholders with insightful questions to uncover business needs and tailor event solutions accordingly
• Articulate Bloomberg's unique market position and event offering to drive client interest and deal closure
• Act as a trusted advisor, ensuring a premium, white-glove experience from proposal through post-event wrap-up
• Coordinate with internal teams to seamlessly execute event deliverables and exceed client expectations
• Manage renewals and upsells to expand client partnerships and support long-term growth across BLE and Bloomberg's broader ecosystem

You'll need to have:

• At least 10 years of experience in event sponsorship sales
• Experience in project management tools and online systems including but not limited to Salesforce, Google Workspace, and Slack
• Experience working with APAC clients across different sectors on global campaigns
• Excellent presentation skills and high emotional intelligence
