Business Development Manager

A Role Designed for Your Growth

If you’re ready to take the next step in your sales career, this role gives you the platform, support and autonomy to really shine. You’ll join a friendly, collaborative sales team where your ideas matter, your development is taken seriously, and your success is genuinely celebrated.

You’ll work across a diverse portfolio of venues and event spaces, building relationships, uncovering opportunities and shaping how the organisation grows within the events agency and TMCs market.

If you’ve ever wanted to work more closely with event agencies or travel management companies, this is your chance to step confidently into that world.

What You’ll Be Doing Day‑to‑Day:

You’ll be the kind of person who enjoys connecting with people, understanding what they need and spotting opportunities others might miss. In this role, you’ll:

* Develop new business across targeted sectors

* Grow and nurture your own portfolio of key accounts

* Lead relationships with event agencies, TMCs and other intermediaries

* Build a strong, healthy sales pipeline

* Deliver engaging client presentations and proposals

* Attend networking events, exhibitions and client meetings

* Work closely with Marketing to support campaigns and lead generation

You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll collaborate with colleagues across the organisation to identify opportunities, shape account strategies and drive revenue together.

Who You Are:

You’re commercially minded, curious and relationship‑focused. You enjoy meeting people, asking questions and understanding what makes clients tick. You’re motivated by results, but you also care about doing things well and building long‑term partnerships.

You’ll Bring:

* Strong communication, relationship‑building and negotiation skills

* A proactive, commercially aware mindset

* Great planning and organisational skills

* Up to 20% performance‑related bonus

* Access to company vehicles for business travel

* 25 days annual leave + bank holidays
