Location: London / Hybrid
Level: Mid-Level
ABOUT NOQ
NOQ is a fast-growing POS & payments company built for mass-attendance, multi-outlet environments. Our sweet spot: festivals, large-scale events, stadiums, and arenas.
We streamline complex operations—enabling customers to buy easily through omnichannel systems with market-leading robustness, supported by offline payments. Our technology integrates across all revenue-generating outlets, then centralises all transactional data and cash flow into a single hub—providing operators with transparency, control, and actionable insight.
THE ROLE
We are seeking a driven and commercially-minded Business Development Executive to help expand our presence in the events sector.

- You have hospitality knowledge and can speak credibly with hospitality leads, and operational teams about their pain points, and show how NOQ solves them.
- A strong network in the events industry is highly valuable—but the most important quality is your ability to engage decision-makers and build trust quickly.
- You are structured, proactive, and comfortable managing your own workflow, pipeline, and CRM with minimal oversight.
- You value relationships and problem-solving over hard selling, and take a consultative approach—aligning NOQ to client needs and ambitions.
