Job Description

ULTRATEND is a marketing-as-a-service provider — a 360-degree execution partner for growing companies. We work across two verticals: Global Exhibition Solutions, designing, building and managing exhibition presence worldwide, and Digital Growth Solutions, covering performance marketing, content and e-commerce.

Our clients own their strategy and their brand. We take care of the delivery — the stand, the build, the logistics, the campaign, the reporting. We have been serving US clients for more than eight years and are now expanding our US commercial presence through ULTRATEND Inc.

The opportunity

This is a new-business role with an uncapped plan, and the earning potential is very much the point. You would own new business across the US market from Houston — your targeting, your approach, your pipeline, your close. You would report directly to leadership, so decisions get made in a single conversation.

Our focus is the mid-market, though we work with organizations of every size and are always glad to hear from smaller and larger clients alike. Houston's manufacturers and energy-industry service providers are a natural place to start.

What you'll do

•  Own the full sales cycle, from first conversation through to signed contract

•  Land and grow multi-show annual exhibition programs, domestic and international, rather than one-off builds

•  Introduce Digital Growth Solutions as a second line into accounts you already look after

•  Take ownership of margin as well as top-line revenue

•  Meet order-booking targets and keep your pipeline current in our CRM

Proposal and bid support comes from our central bids team, and design and delivery are handled by our production teams. The rest is yours to own.

What you bring

•  5+ years selling in trade shows, exhibitions, events or experiential marketing

•  A strong network among marketing leaders at manufacturers and service providers to the energy industry across Houston and Texas

•  A consistent record of hitting monthly, quarterly and annual quota, with examples you can walk us through

•  Experience running a full sales cycle without relying on inbound leads

•  Commercial judgment — you understand margin, you're comfortable holding price, and you can talk us through a deal you chose to walk away from

•  Comfortable in a CRM, and disciplined about keeping your pipeline up to date

•  Existing authorization to work in the United States, as we're not in a position to sponsor visas for this role

Travel

Home-based, with no requirement to come into an office. Expect around 30–40% of your time in client meetings across Greater Houston, plus travel to major US trade shows and, from time to time, international shows alongside clients. Travel and expenses are covered.

Compensation

•  $145,000 on-target earnings — uncapped, with accelerators above target. Strong performers earn well beyond this.

•  $75,000 base salary, plus commission on the addional gross margin you generate

•  Commission is paid once your client has settled their invoice and the project is complete

•  A company-funded health insurance allowance toward a plan you choose, plus dental and vision

•  401(k)

•  15 days paid time off, plus federal holidays

•  Travel and business expenses covered

Hiring process

Three stages. We read every application, and we'll be in touch with the candidates we'd like to take forward.

If this sounds like your kind of role, we'd be glad to hear from you.
