Hybrid working
LED walls, premium projection, advanced sound and lighting. And a corporate client base with the budgets to match. The Event Business Development Manager seat inside an established boutique production house, uncapped commission on every deal closed, and three decades of in-house inventory behind every pitch.
- Uncapped commission tied directly to your new business wins
- Pitch world-class AV tech: LED walls, advanced projection, premium sound and lighting
- High-profile corporate and agency clients for your portfolio
- Proven career development within an established industry name
- Collaborative team where creative and technical specialists work side by side
The Company
Boutique production houses with genuine three-decade pedigree are rare, and this one has built its reputation delivering corporate conferences, product launches and award shows for premium brands that keep coming back. Everything from LED walls to premium sound sits in their own inventory, which makes every pitch a credible one. An Event Business Development Manager tends to find it a straightforward place to do good work, and people stay once they are in.
The Role
The Event Business Development Manager is a commercial growth role at the heart of the business, responsible for identifying and winning new clients, leading pitches and building long-term relationships that drive revenue for a company with the technical capability to back every promise you make.
- Identify and develop new business opportunities across the corporate events and agency market
- Generate, qualify and manage an active pipeline of new business leads
- Take detailed client briefs and translate them into compelling production proposals
- Lead pitch presentations to senior decision-makers at corporate end-clients and agencies
- Collaborate with technical and production teams to ensure proposals are deliverable
- Monitor industry trends and feed market intelligence back to the leadership team
- Build long-term relationships with new accounts to grow revenue over time
The Candidate
The right Event Business Development Manager will have a proven track record of winning new business and closing deals in AV hire, live event production or the experiential sector, with a solid grasp of the UK corporate events market and direct experience working with event agencies and corporate end-clients. You will be comfortable leading pitches, technically literate enough to talk AV with confidence, and genuinely motivated by building a pipeline from scratch.
Hands-on familiarity with LED walls, advanced projection or premium sound and lighting systems is beneficial but not essential, as is experience managing a CRM or formal sales pipeline tool. If your background spans adjacent commercial roles in the events or experiential world and you can demonstrate consistent new business wins as an Event Business Development Manager, we'd encourage you to apply.
Uncapped commission on every deal you close, direct access to high-spec in-house AV inventory that makes the pitch easier, and genuine career growth inside a well-established business with serious market credibility. This one is moving quickly, with interview slots going out now. Get your application in and let's talk.
