Graduate Sales Executive, Events Partnerships

Graduate or early career. We teach you how to sell. You bring the hunger.

Big brands. Senior buyers. Uncapped commission. All this early in your sales career.

Most early-career sales roles hand you a script. This one has you selling sponsorship of the events where entire industries meet, to marketing heads and C-suite leaders most sales reps wait ten years to reach. You learn fast. You close real deals. And there's no ceiling on what you earn.

WHAT YOU'RE SELLING

Companies pay to get in front of the people who buy from them. You make that happen.

IQPC runs conferences and summits around the world. In Australia, we bring senior leaders from AI, defence, energy, finance, cyber and customer experience together for one- and two-day events. Each event is built around the problems their industry is trying to solve.

Technology and service providers want to be in front of that audience. You sell them the way in: speaking slots, exhibition stands, hosted roundtables, networking events with their brand on them, and one-to-one meetings with the buyers they've been chasing all year.

WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO

Find the right partners, pitch them, close them, grow them.

- Research your market and find the companies that need to be in front of it.
- Get on the phone, all day: cold calls, warm calls, follow ups.
- Pitch marketing heads, partnership leads and C-suite leaders.
- Build proposals around what each sponsor actually wants to achieve.
- Run your pipeline from first call to signed contract, then grow the account year on year.




- Meet your sponsors onsite and see what you sold come to life.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR People who back themselves, and want a number to chase.

- Hungry: you want a target, and you want to beat it.
- You'd rather call than email. Senior decision-makers don't faze you.
- Persuasive: you can turn a cold call into a meeting, and a meeting into a deal.
- Resilient: a no is information, not a verdict.
- Organised, curious, and a genuine team player.

A sales, recruitment, media or customer-facing background is a bonus. It's not a requirement.

HOW WE MEASURE SUCCESS

Straightforward: calls made, meetings booked, revenue closed.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

Real money, real access, real progression.

- Uncapped commission. No ceiling on what you can earn.
- Full training from day one. We teach you to sell the right way, not just the fast way.
- Real responsibility, fast. No sitting on the sidelines.
- A network of senior commercial leaders most people take a decade to build.
- Clear progression: our senior sales executives and team leads started exactly where you will.
- A high-energy team that takes the work seriously and each other lightly.

There's a particular feeling in closing a deal that started as a cold call, then walking into the event and shaking hands with the sponsor who said yes. That's the job.
