Sponsorship Sales Executive

---

Our company is looking for a Sponsorship Sales Executive to help drive sponsorship revenue for our premiere business conferences and sell-out live events. WBR has over 120 annual events in operation over 3 continents, and due to our continued portfolio growth we need to expand the sponsorship acquisition team to support new launches and repeat events.

Our sponsors are some of the biggest and most distinguished brands in the world – from Amazon to Salesforce. They sponsor our B2B events — in eCommerce to procurement to finance — year over year because our business model is proven. Over our 20-year history, we have perfected the science of building deep relationships and exceeding sponsorship goals.

The sponsorship packages that you’ll sell include: keynote speech or presentation, panel participation, host a panel, booth exhibition, on-site branding, running an interactive workshop or round table discussion, and more. You will work closely with other departments such as Production, Marketing, and Event Planning to ensure we deliver successful events.
