Valcato is a creatively driven production company working across live events, touring entertainment, video content and branded experiences throughout the UK and Europe.
We’re looking for someone to help us build a focused, sustainable client-development pipeline by identifying organisations we would genuinely work well with, starting thoughtful conversations and keeping promising opportunities moving.
This is not commission-only telesales, and we are not interested in mass, generic outreach.
The role will include:
- Researching suitable organisations and decision-makers
- Writing personalised introductory emails and LinkedIn messages
- Following up consistently by email, LinkedIn and, where appropriate, telephone
- Re-engaging previous clients and dormant contacts
- Identifying partnerships, tenders and supplier opportunities
- Maintaining accurate records in Pipedrive
- Booking qualified introductory meetings
- Providing a concise weekly update on activity and opportunities
You may have experience in business development, partnerships, account management, agency outreach, events or the wider creative industries. More important than a particular job title is your judgement, curiosity and ability to communicate naturally.
We’re looking for someone who is organised, self-directed, commercially aware and confident starting conversations without becoming pushy.
You should value relevance over volume and understand that good business development begins with genuine interest—not a copied-and-pasted sales pitch.
The offer:
- 12-week freelance pilot
- Approx. 8 hours per week at £20 per hour
- £50 for each qualified introductory meeting
- 2% commission on the first completed project from any new account you originate
- Flexible, primarily remote working
- Potential to become an ongoing and expanded role
When applying, include a short introduction covering your relevant experience, how you would approach the role, an example of a relationship or opportunity you helped develop, and your current availability.
A traditional sales background is not essential. We’re much more interested in how you think, write and build trust.
Pay: £20.00 per hour

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Stoke-On-Trent ST6
