Venue Sales and Events Manager

Purpose of the role The Board of Trustees has adopted an ambitious three-year Business Plan () for Grand Junction. It commits the venue to moving from roughly one commercial hire a month to a sustainable rhythm of one revenue-generating event a week by 2030, with pricing that reflects the venue''s true position among London''s Grade I heritage venues, growing hire revenue across the period. The Venue Sales and Events Manager is the engine of that plan. The postholder will own the venue''s various commercial revenue streams, including weddings, corporate events, film, TV and photography locations, private hire, plus cultural events and concerts. All while safeguarding the character of Grand Junction as both a cultural and community hub and a place of worship.
