Vacant job

Do you want to take full commercial responsibility for your own project – from the first customer contact to completed business and long-term relationships? Do you thrive in an environment where pace, business focus, and clear goals are a natural part of everyday life, and where your performance truly makes a difference?

Live Expo is now looking for an experienced B2B salesperson who wants to step into a role with significant responsibility and great opportunity to influence – both the business and their own development.

In the role of salesperson at Live Expo, you will take full commercial responsibility for your own trade show project – from business strategy and new customer acquisition to completed business and long-term customer relationships.

The business is based on the sale of exhibition spaces, sponsorship packages, and commercial partnerships to companies that want to be visible, network, and do business through our meeting places. Sales are relationship-driven, B2B-focused, and occur with decision-makers such as CEOs, marketing managers, sales managers, and business area managers.

You will work long-term and business-driven with the entire sales process, from prospecting and booking meetings to closing, follow-up, and rebooking for the upcoming year.

You are responsible for identifying and engaging relevant B2B customers, building the right mix of exhibitors and sponsors, and developing the business over time. The role involves both strategic work and high operational activity, where you simultaneously drive several dialogues with different decision-makers. The cycles vary in length and require structure, endurance, and the ability to maintain momentum.

We are looking for someone with several years of experience in B2B sales who is confident in owning the entire business. You are accustomed to new customer acquisition, booking meetings, driving dialogues, and closing deals.

You have likely worked in environments where pace and clear goals are a given part of everyday life and where results are achieved through consistent work over time. Experience from media, sponsorship, events, advertising, or tech is advantageous – but more importantly, you understand the business logic and thrive in the role of a responsible salesperson.

Personality and Motivations

We thrive with individuals who take responsibility for their performance and appreciate working in a context where there are high expectations – both of themselves and their surroundings. You are engaged, action-oriented, and comfortable taking the initiative in customer dialogues.

You are motivated by development, business, and the opportunity to influence your own success. At the same time, you are unpretentious in collaboration with others and contribute to the team's results. You appreciate structure, maintain a high pace, and have the ability to work focused even when deals take time to finalize.

Live Expo creates innovative trade shows, conferences, and meeting places where business, innovation, and relationships are at the center. We launch new concepts, develop established trade shows, and build businesses that provide concrete value for our exhibitors and visitors.

We are a privately owned company in strong growth with clear goals ahead. Sales are business-critical for us and shape the entire organization – in pace, culture, and priorities.

Our Work Environment

You will be based at our office in Västra Frölunda, where the entire organization works together on-site. We believe in the power of presence, collaboration, and a shared pace in everyday life. Here, there is a close connection between decision-making and implementation, and you will be part of an experienced sales team where knowledge is shared, challenges are met, and successes are celebrated together.

We Offer

At Live Expo, you will have a long-term role in a growing and ambitious company.

The compensation model is clearly linked to performance and business results, which means that those who deliver also have the opportunity to receive clear rewards for their work.

In addition, we offer competitive terms, six weeks of vacation, pension, wellness benefits, and a gym in the building.

Above all, we offer an environment where skilled salespeople are given significant trust, clear responsibility, and the opportunity to develop in line with the business.

Practical Information

The position is full-time based in Västra Frölunda, Gothenburg. Start date is negotiable with an aim for mid-February. Selection is ongoing.

If you recognize yourself in this description and are looking for a role where business, responsibility, and pace go hand in hand, we look forward to your application!
