Company Description Informa Markets, a division within Informa, creates global platforms for industries to trade, innovate and grow.

New Hope Network's portfolio features Natural Products Expo West as our flagship large-scale tradeshow, along with additional shows including Newtopia Now, Nutrition Business Journal Summit, Nutrition Capital Network, and Organic Produce Summit.

Additionally, you will build strong relationships, provide input for RFPs, and ensure professional execution of events. Supervising and mentoring team members, aligning goals with company vision, and understanding key markets like Natural Products will be essential to delivering tailored opportunities.

Meet defined timelines set out by the Senior Sponsorship Manager and Show Managers, various internal teams, vendors, and other show partners to fulfill contracted opportunities on show site. Identify places organically and within existing sponsorship and marketing opportunities to increase show revenue and profit growth, and value for clients. Develop relationships that facilitate achievement of client objectives: Develop relationships with internal team, vendors, show partners, and clients that support effective communication and exceptional results. Provide input for RFPs that addresses the unique needs of each event, i.e. costs, market need, program flow etc. Communicate contract obligations and inclusions to appropriate groups involved. Work as an interface to ensure show is professional and that onsite challenges are invisible to (most) internal and external customers. Participate and demonstrate leadership in an engaged and empowered team: Directly supervise and mentor team members, providing guidance, performance feedback, and support to ensure successful execution of responsibilities and professional growth. Collaborate on long and short-term goals to support company, department and market vision.
