Why We're Hiring

Retailers and Brands are at the heart of everything we do, and Shoptalk is the one-stop shop for all the industry's events. We're looking for enthusiastic and passionate sales leaders and category directors to immerse themselves in our retailer and brand ecosystem. Together, we will build on what already is the industry's largest community of retail changemakers as we triple in size by 2027.

The Role

As a Senior Manager of Retailers & Consumer Brands for Shoptalk, you will be responsible for building, nurturing, and securing a network of retailers and brand attendees for the entire Shoptalk portfolio. You will be a champion for enduring client relationships as this will involve expanding current accounts, both locally and globally, as well as researching and seeking new retail and consumer brand partnerships.

Your focus will be on attendee acquisition and retention at both an individual and organization level, with an enthusiastic and creative approach to relationship building. This will also extend to paid-for delegate ticket sales and may also support the rollout of additional Shoptalk and Groceryshop products, which may require international travel.

You will be a target-driven leader, demonstrating a track record of meeting and exceeding targets on a regular basis across multiple products. You will work across a suite of events simultaneously, so agility is also key to success in this role. You will be an excellent and confident communicator and presenter, both virtually via phone/video calls and in person. This role will require you to take advantage and be creative with all means of outreach to build relationships with the right attendees and partners.
