Sales Manager

Description:

The Ambassador Theatre Group is an extraordinary success story in the live entertainment industry. Founded in 1992 in the UK, we’ve grown into the world’s number one live-theatre company today. We cover every discipline in the theatre industry, from operating venues to ticketing platforms and producing shows. We are passionate about great shows and our ambition is to help them find the largest possible audiences.

This is an unusual and exciting appointment as you will work across both cities and all three venues. As such you will be able to choose which city you will be based in, although you would be expected to have a regular presence in both cities. All the theatres have some strong local business contacts and partnerships but are all looking to increase the level of sponsorship that they attract.

As Sales and Development Manager you take the lead role in attracting sponsors, developing partnerships with the cities corporate communities and representing the theatres on city wide bodies such as Chamber of Commerce and Business Improvement Districts.

You’ll foster relationships with businesses and individuals with a view to growing revenues from sponsorships, business partnerships, and corporate memberships and to increase the presence of the theatres across corporate and civic life in both cities and to plan and report on all this work as appropriate.
