Bubble Food delivers design-led, sustainable catering for some of London’s most memorable private and brand-led events.
We’re hiring an Event Sales Planner to grow our pipeline - someone confident picking up the phone, comfortable hearing “not yet,” and consistent with follow-up in a way that keeps relationships warm.
You’ll be joining an established, experienced and genuinely supportive team known for excellent delivery and client care. They’ll back you throughout the sales-to-event journey - while you bring the proactive, commercially driven edge that helps convert opportunities into confirmed bookings.
You don’t need an events sales background, but you do need commercial instinct, strong organisation, and a genuine interest in weddings, hospitality and premium client experiences.
As an Event Sales Planner, you’ll take ownership of new business generation and the full sales-to-event journey, with a particular focus on luxury weddings and private events.
Why This Role Is a Great Move
Sell Genuinely Premium Events
You’ll work on luxury weddings, private celebrations and high-profile corporate events - clients who care about detail, design and a seamless guest experience. The brand makes follow-up easier.
Bubble Food has a clear proposition: high-end catering with sustainability built in. It’s a credible story and a strong reason to stay in touch while clients decide.
Autonomy and Real Influence
You’ll run your own pipeline and be trusted to find opportunities, shape proposals and drive revenue — this isn’t a purely inbound admin role.
Backed by a Strong Delivery Team
You’ll work closely with an experienced operations team who are excellent at execution and client care — so you can focus on generating and converting business.
Variety and Visibility
From tastings and site visits to working with venues and planners, you’ll be at the centre of the client journey and involved in the events you sell.
Proactive Sales and Pipeline Management
- Generate leads and build new opportunities (not just respond to inbound enquiries)
- Manage the full sales cycle: outreach, discovery, proposal, follow-up and confirmation
- Follow up consistently and professionally — persistent, not pushy
- Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities to increase event value and margin
- Build relationships with venues, wedding planners, private clients and key accounts
Proposals and Client Experience
- Produce tailored proposals in PowerPoint using templates and pricing structures
- Translate client vision into clear, deliverable plans that reflect Bubble Food’s standards
- Attend tastings, site visits and client meetings to help convert opportunities
- Maintain post-event relationships and secure referrals, testimonials and repeat bookings
Collaboration and Delivery
- Work closely with Operations Managers and the Kitchen team to ensure proposals are operationally deliverable
- Support marketing with event highlights, testimonials and content where needed
- Communicate Bubble Food’s sustainability ethos clearly, offering eco-conscious options clients value
Who This Suits
- A proactive sales professional comfortable being out in front — calling, emailing, following up and building relationships
- Someone resilient and level-headed — objections don’t throw you, and “no” doesn’t dent your energy
- A communicator with good judgement — knows when to push, when to pause, and how to stay welcome
- Strong organisation and attention to detail (proposals, pipeline, next steps, follow-through)
- Interested in weddings, events or hospitality and motivated by premium client work
What Success Looks Like
- Hitting personal sales targets across weddings and private events
- Strong enquiry-to-booking conversion rates
- Increased event value through upselling and cross-selling
- High client satisfaction, referrals and repeat bookings
