Job Description
Company Description
White Star Heritage LTD runs the UK’s largest and most successful Titanic exhibition, touring the UK with it’s world class collection of genuine artefacts, immersive set builds, video technology and educational content.
Role Description
We are seeking a commercially driven operator to drive ticket sales for a large-scale touring exhibition.
This is not a traditional marketing role.
Your sole focus is revenue — filling capacity through partnerships, group bookings, and direct sales activity in the lead-up to each city launch. You can work anywhere in the UK but you might need to travel to venues at locations such as NEC Birmingham (imminent) and London (August), followed by additional UK cities.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
•\tDriving pre-sales ahead of each exhibition launch
•\tSecuring group bookings (schools, coach companies, corporate groups, tourism operators)
•\tBuilding and activating local partnerships (hotels, attractions, tourism boards, concierge networks)
•\tIdentifying and executing high-impact sales opportunities quickly
•\tWorking closely with the team on pricing, offers, and sales tactics
•\tCreating urgency and demand for a limited-time touring experience
What We’re Looking For
•\tProven experience in selling tickets for exhibitions, attractions, events, or touring productions
•\tStrong track record in B2B sales, partnerships, or group bookings
•\tExisting network across schools, coach operators, tourism, or corporate events (highly desirable)
•\tHighly proactive — comfortable picking up the phone and closing deals
•\tCommercial mindset — focused on conversion and revenue, not just marketing activity
•\tAble to move quickly and operate in a short lead-time, high-pressure environment.
What Success Looks Like
•\tHigh volume of pre-booked tickets before opening week
•\tStrong pipeline of group bookings and repeat visits
•\tEffective local partnerships driving consistent ticket flow
•\tClear contribution to meeting or exceeding ticket revenue targets
Compensation
•\tFreelance contract (per city or rolling across tour)
•\tBase (negotiable depending on experience)
•\t+ Commission on ticket sales and/or group bookings
•\tPerformance-based bonuses for hitting agreed sales targets
Why This Role
•\tOpportunity to work on a high-profile touring exhibition
•\tDirect impact on revenue — your work will be immediately visible
•\tFlexible, fast-paced environment with real commercial autonomy
•\tPotential to continue across multiple UK locations
To Apply
Please send:
•\tA short summary of relevant experience
•\tExamples of similar projects or results (especially ticket sales or partnerships)
•\tAvailability for an immediate start
We are looking to appoint quickly.
