Account Manager – International Events & DMC (High-Conversion Focus) Are you an agency-side events professional who excels at turning a "maybe" into a "yes"? Join a high-impact, boutique agency in Surrey that acts as the UK gateway for global blue-chip brands. This isn’t just a logistics role; it’s a high-energy opportunity for a consultant-led closer to own the commercial success of international event briefs.

What’s Different About This Role?

Unlike large, siloed agencies, you will be the driving force behind the business pipeline. We represent lead agencies from over 50 countries, and your mission is to take their incoming enquiries and convert them into confirmed, world-class events. You’ll have the autonomy to shape proposals and the influence to drive revenue, all while benefiting from the culture of a boutique Surrey office. We offer genuine career advancement and are open to discussing part-time hours (minimum 27.5 per week) for the right specialist.

What You’ll Bring:

• Sales & Conversion Pedigree: You aren't just an order-taker; you are a closer. You have a proven track record in sales conversion, masterful questioning, and the ability to handle objections with ease.
• Agency Experience: You have at least 4 years (degree-led) or 6 years (experience-led) of working within an Event Agency or Destination Management Company (DMC).
• The "WIIFM" Mindset: You naturally think in terms of "What’s In It For Me" from the client's perspective, linking features to tangible benefits.
• Proximity: You live within a 60-minute commute of Fetcham, Surrey, and thrive in a collaborative, 4-day-a-week office-based environment.

What You’ll Do:

• Convert Enquiries: Take ownership of incoming international leads, using superior listening and discovery skills to understand the client's "why."
• Pitch to Win: Craft and present creative proposals that don't just list services but sell a vision, specifically tailored to the client's needs and pain points.
• Strategic Sourcing: Research and negotiate the best rates at hotels and venues to ensure your winning proposals remain commercially viable and high-margin.
• Account Stewardship: Build long-term trust with global agency partners, ensuring they return to us as their preferred UK partner.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Commercial Impact: You will see the direct results of your skill in the growth of the business.
• Stability & Success: Work for a company that has been thriving since 2003 with a reputation for excellence among the world’s leading agencies.
• Professional Growth: This role is designed for someone who wants to progress into higher levels of leadership within the agency.
• Balanced Benefits: 28 days of holiday (inc. bank holidays), a contributory pension, and a supportive team that values common sense and commercial "nous."

The Ideal Fit:

You are a "people person" with a commercial edge. You know how to read between the lines of a brief and ask the questions that competitors miss. You are enthusiastic, hard-working, and comfortable in a fast-paced, small-company setting where your ability to convert business is the key to the team's success.
