United Kingdom Eventprophire Full time

EPH Creative is a truly unique business, as are our products, services and people. Our vision is to be the UKs leading partner for professional event design décor, through our diverse event rental ranges and bespoke build services.
We pride ourselves in producing real-world moments of WOW, crafting magical experiences that spread joy and leave lasting impressions. After 20 successful years we continue to transform the creative and themed events industry. With high profile national and international brands amongst our key clients, we consistently deliver exceptional quality in a way that’s both innovative and fun.
Working with us is a one-of-a-kind experience. We value our vibrant culture and carefully select individuals who share our passion and pride for making every event extraordinary. It’s an inspiring place to work where every day is different, with the opportunity to deliver something truly special.
To deliver the next stage in the evolution of EPH Creative, we are seeking a Head of Sales to join our Senior leadership team and deliver ambitious business growth. Working alongside the Managing Director, you will take ownership of developing & executing our sales strategy alongside leading & coordinating our sales teams across 2 locations (London & Wetherby). Moreover, you’ll work seamlessly across sales, marketing & commercial teams to deliver a cohesive organisational vision with a strategic & targeted approach.

As an experienced senior business leader, you should be passionate and most importantly caring – about our team, our customers, brand and reputation. You will need to immerse yourself in our diverse & unique industry and have an appreciation for the fluctuating and creative nature of our work, as well a non-traditional sales environment.
To be successful in the role, you’ll need to have a number of years’ experience leading at a senior level and be an exceptional people manager. You will be instrumental in developing and delivering the next stage of our growth, and so you must have experience of creating and delivering effective strategies.
With a team of up to 30 people (with direct and indirect reports) across two locations (Wetherby & London), experience of engaging, leading and mentoring a diverse team is essential as is having a ‘one team’ mentality and positive attitude when faced with industry expectations including tight deadlines.
A highly attuned commercial awareness with a track history of prospecting, and proactive lead generation skills is key, as is previous experience of proven revenue, profit, and business growth.
If you have worked in a creative event industry before this will be advantageous, but having an appreciation and enthusiasm for what we do is vital.

• Developing & executing a comprehensive sales strategy – identifying & utilising commercial, product & marketing data alongside seasonal forecasting to articulate a targeted approach to deliver ambitious revenue targets
