Business Development Executive - Sponsorship Sales (Pre-Sales to Sales Track)

CTI Media Group is an international publishing, events, and memberships business with core interests in both the business-to-business and business-to-government fields. We are looking for a driven Business Development Executive to support our Chief Commercial Officer in pre-sales activities, with a clear path to transition into a 100% sales role once performance milestones are achieved.

You will play a key role in growing sponsorship and partnership revenue for our leadership forums and summits in North America and EMEA, working with senior executives across aviation, cities, and transport.

What you’ll do Support the CCO with pre-sales research, prospecting, proposals, and pipeline management. Progress into full end-to-end sales ownership (consultative selling, negotiations, closing). Drive revenue for both existing forums and new international events launching in 2026. Build and maintain relationships with C-level executives through video calls and in-person meetings. Manage activity and reporting via CRM, Outlook Suite, and Monday.com. Use AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot, etc.) to improve outreach, research, and productivity. Travel to expos, conferences, and leadership forums to support and sell.

What we’re looking for Sales mindset – ambitious, target-driven, and motivated by revenue growth. Eagerness to learn quickly and transition from a pre-sales support role into a 100% sales role. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills. Experience with CRM tools, Outlook Suite, and Monday.com. Strong interest in using AI tools (ChatGPT, Copilot) to work smarter in business development. Proven organizational and time management skills. Degree-level education (preferred). Previous experience selling sponsorships in transport, aviation, or technology-related events is a plus, but not essential.

What we offer Competitive salary with uncapped commission and clear career progression. 30 days holiday. Flexible working (remote, with offices in Valencia, Spain). Travel opportunities to international conferences and events. The chance to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment with direct exposure to global decision-makers.
