Job Purpose
This isn’t about waiting for enquiries to convert themselves; it’s about owning the pipeline and making bookings happen!
As Sales Manager, BrewDog Waterloo, you’ll play a critical role in driving pre-booked sales across one of the most exciting and high-capacity venues in the UK. Your mission is to convert inbound enquiries at pace, generate outbound opportunities, and maximise occupancy across all bookable spaces, experiences, and events.
You’ll manage day-to-day sales performance within the venue, ensuring enquiries are handled quickly, pipelines are actively developed, and every opportunity to increase booking value is captured. Working closely with the Head of Sales and Operations teams, you’ll be the driving force behind incremental sales revenue through group bookings, corporate events, celebrations, experiences, and repeat business from positive relationships.
