Are you a foodie? Do you enjoy live music? Experienced in selling exhibition space and sponsorship packages?

If so, this is genuinely a brilliant opportunity!

Our client runs the leading food and music festival in the UK and the need has arisen to hire a brilliant events sales person to join the team.

Think industry leading chefs, great food stalls, top DJ’s and music artists….

The Role

Reporting to the head of commercial partnerships, you will be responsible for selling exhibition space for the events to both previous and new business. In addition you will create bespoke sponsorship opportunities for brands to invest. You will also have latitude to come up with new revenue generating ideas and opportunities that will grow both the sales revenue and in conjunction with the marketing team, ticket revenue.

Quite simply this is a unique and rare opportunity to work on some of the best events in the world! You will be pushed hard and expected to grasp responsibility as soon as it comes your way and you will learn faster than you ever thought possible. You will work with some fabulous people, including your colleagues and a good smattering of celebrities.

If you have a great event idea you might have the opportunity to develop and launch it with them. Essentially there are no barriers. If you’re good and you want it, you can have it; sales executive to event director in 3 to 4 years isn’t unheard of.

Key Profile Requirements:

  • A strong background selling exhibition and/or sponsorship packages

  • Initiative - proactive and able to work independently

  • Self-sufficient, self-motivated, resilient, determined, assertive, good objection handler, capable of working under pressure to tight deadlines

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
