Sponsorship Sales Executive – Drive Revenue and Build Lasting Partnerships
Salary: £35-£55k Depending on Exprience. Plus generous commission structure
Why This Role Stands Out:
Step into a dynamic position where your sales acumen will be the catalyst for significant revenue growth. As the Sponsorship Sales Manager, you will be at the forefront of connecting leading tech companies with industry-defining events. This role offers the unique chance to shape the sponsorship landscape of high-impact summits, providing unparalleled brand alignment opportunities for top-tier clients. Your efforts will not only drive financial success but also foster long-term, high-value partnerships.
What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Strategic Sales: Craft and implement innovative sponsorship sales strategies designed to surpass revenue targets and cultivate enduring partnerships.
  • Market Research: Conduct thorough market analysis to identify and qualify potential sponsors, focusing on decision-makers within the tech and cybersecurity sectors.
  • Relationship Building: Develop and sustain robust relationships with prospective sponsors, acting as a trusted advisor to optimise their return on investment.
  • Sales Presentations: Create and deliver persuasive sponsorship proposals tailored to the specific goals of each prospect, highlighting the unique value of partnering with EDS Brands.
  • Negotiation & Closing: Confidently negotiate terms and close deals that benefit both sponsors and EDS Brands, driving mutual growth.
  • Collaboration: Partner with marketing and production teams to ensure sponsorship packages are perfectly aligned with event content, guaranteeing premium exposure for sponsors.
  • Pipeline Management: Keep an organised and up-to-date sales pipeline using CRM tools, tracking progress and reporting on key metrics.
    Ideal Candidate Profile:
  • Experience: Minimum of 2 years in sponsorship or B2B sales, preferably within the technology or events industries.
  • Proven Success: Demonstrated ability to exceed sales targets and drive revenue growth.
  • Skills: Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills, with the capability to engage senior decision-makers.
  • Industry Knowledge: A deep understanding of the B2B technology and cybersecurity landscape is advantageous.
  • Project Management: Ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines with a self-motivated and results-oriented approach.
  • Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a talent for delivering compelling presentations.
    This role is perfect for a driven sales professional eager to make a significant impact within a forward-thinking organisation. If you possess the skills and experience outlined above, this could be the next exciting step in your career

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

If you’re aiming for a role in the Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) industry, it can feel like every job advert expects you to know a never-ending list of tools: flight control systems, autopilot frameworks, simulation platforms, sensor suites, communication stacks, mission planning software, GIS tools — and on it goes. With so many names and acronyms, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and assume you must learn every tool under the sun before you’ll be taken seriously by employers. Here’s the honest truth most UAV hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can use the right tools to solve real UAV problems safely, reliably and in context. Tools matter — absolutely — but they always serve a purpose: solving problems, reducing risk, improving performance, or guiding safer operations. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know — it’s: which tools you should master, in what context, and why. This article breaks down what employers actually expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look credible, confident and job-ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in UAV Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re aiming for roles in UAV design, robotics/controls engineering, autonomy & computer vision, flight test & certification, embedded systems, operations, ground control software, systems integration or regulatory compliance, the way you present yourself in an application can make or break your chances — and that often happens before the hiring manager reads past your first few lines. In the UK UAV/jobs market, recruiters and hiring managers scan applications rapidly. They look for relevant experience, measurable delivery, technical credibility, domain awareness and safety/regulatory understanding — often making a decision within the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in UAV applications, why those signals matter, and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you get noticed — not filtered out.

The Skills Gap in UAV Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) — commonly known as drones — are among the fastest-growing technologies globally. From infrastructure inspection and agriculture to emergency response, surveying, logistics and defence, UAVs are transforming how organisations gather data, deliver services and improve efficiency. In the UK, demand for UAV professionals is increasing rapidly. Yet despite a growing number of graduates with engineering, robotics or aerospace backgrounds, employers continue to report a persistent problem: Many graduates are not ready for real UAV jobs. This is not a reflection of intelligence or academic effort. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in the UAV sector. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the gap to build a successful career in UAVs.
