Are you a strategic, commercially driven sales leader looking for a genuinely flexible role within a dynamic and fast-moving events environment? This could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're partnering with a well-established and growing events-led business that delivers high-impact experiences for major brands. They're now looking to appoint a New Business Development Director to lead growth, shape commercial strategy and build long-term, high-value client relationships.
This role offers exceptional flexibility - both in working pattern and location - making it ideal for experienced sales leaders seeking autonomy without compromising impact.
Why This Role Stands Out- UK-wide office network (North, Midlands & South) - just 1 day per week in an office
- Part-time or full-time hours available
- Excellent commission structure with uncapped potential
- Car allowance
- Salary in the region of £50,000-£60,000 plus bonus
- Flexible working - predominantly remote
You'll take ownership of new business strategy and delivery, driving revenue growth while positioning the business as a leading partner within the events space.
Key responsibilities include:
- Defining and executing a new business and growth strategy
- Securing high-value new clients and long-term partnerships
- Owning revenue targets, pipeline management and forecasting
- Collaborating with marketing and leadership teams to support brand positioning and lead generation
- Acting as a senior ambassador for the business at industry events and client meetings
- Providing commercial insight and performance reporting to senior leadership
- Supporting and mentoring business development colleagues, where required
- Proven experience in senior business development or sales leadership, ideally within events, hospitality or agency environments
- Track record of winning and growing high-value accounts
- Commercially astute, confident managing revenue, margin and pipeline
- Strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to deal-making
- Comfortable working autonomously in a remote-first environment
- Confident representing a business at industry events and client functions
- Flexible to travel and host client events as required (including occasional out-of-hours)
- A genuinely flexible senior role that fits around your life
- Opportunity to shape and influence commercial strategy
- Strong earning potential through base salary and commission
- Supportive, values-led culture with long-term progression
If you're an experienced sales leader looking for a high-trust, high-impact role in an exciting events environment - this one is worth a conversation.
