About you
You want more than just another Business Development Manager role. You want something you can build. You enjoy opening doors, creating opportunities and turning conversations into revenue. You are motivated by the idea of taking a new offering to market and making it work. You are comfortable working remotely, managing your own time and being trusted to deliver. If you like the idea of spearheading something and having real influence over how it grows, this will suit you.

Your experience
You have experience in B2B sales or business development, ideally within exhibitions, events or a related environment. You understand how to prospect, build a pipeline and manage the full sales cycle through to close. You are confident presenting solutions, whether that is technical, creative or a mix of both. You may already have a network within exhibitions, trade shows or events, though it is not essential. You are comfortable using CRM systems and managing your own activity. You are target driven, commercially aware and happy travelling to meet clients and attend events.

What you will be doing with your experience in this role
You will be responsible for building new business across an exhibition and events offering. You will prospect and win new clients across exhibition organisers, event agencies, brands and corporates. You will manage the full sales cycle from lead generation through to contract closure. You will present a modular exhibition solution that focuses on flexibility, reusability, sustainability and cost efficiency, backed by a full in house design to install capability. You will build and maintain a strong pipeline, attend trade shows and industry events, and work closely with internal design and production teams to create strong proposals. This is a genuine opportunity to establish and grow a division, with the chance to take ownership of the sales function over time.

About the business
This is an established business that has recently invested heavily in modular exhibition systems, creating a new opportunity to grow within the exhibitions and events space. They already have the in house capability to deliver everything from design through to build, logistics and derig, which allows them to offer a true turnkey solution. The foundations are in place, the capability is there and there is an existing pipeline from current customers. The focus now is growth through new business. You would be joining at an early stage of this journey, with the chance to shape how it develops.
