THE OPPORTUNITY

As a small but scaling business, this role has a multi functioned approach to help ensure the effective running of our sales team (and our office!) from an administrative perspective.

This role reports into our Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), supporting a team of three Account Executives (AEs) and two Trading Solutions (TS) Managers, ensuring smooth sales operations, enhancing customer engagement, and driving commercial efficiency.

As a smaller percentage of its time, this role will also pick up some general administrative functionality across the business, with a dotted line into our Exec Team.  This will mean getting your sleeves rolled up, helping out with everything from the production of investor reports, through to managing office suppliers and day to day workplace operations.

We operate a hybrid approach to working here at Sphere, and we will expect this role to be in the office for at least four days each week as this role will be the foundation for our Sales Team to be as effective as possible.
