Our client is a prestigious and established cabaret venue, central London, also a venue just outside London too.

This established and glamorous venue is seeking a sales manager to take ownership & lead growth of existing revenue channels and also picking up new business, developing relationships with hotels, restaurant & bars, ticket agents etc.

The candidate will have a proactive attitude to work and will relish the opportunity to grow their skills in this area.
