Business Development Manager

Location: London (Hybrid)

Are you a business development professional from a sports or creative background looking to break into the cultural and visitor attractions sector?

Do you thrive on building relationships, pitching ideas, and driving growth in dynamic, fast-moving environments?

We want to hear from you.

The Company

We’re a rapidly growing creative technology business that delivers immersive multimedia solutions to clients in the cultural and visitor attractions sector – from museums and theatres to sports stadiums, immersive experiences, and theme parks.

We collaborate with marketing teams, experience designers, and commercial heads to deliver standout experiences using cutting-edge hardware and content – helping our clients engage audiences in fresh, memorable ways.

The Role

We’re looking for a creative, commercially sharp Business Development Manager to help grow our client base across sport, heritage, arts, and entertainment. Whether you’ve worked in sports agencies, creative marketing, or a commercial role at a rights-holder or venue, you’ll bring an instinct for uncovering opportunities, building relationships, and pitching ideas that excite.

Key Responsibilities

• Target and develop new business across cultural and non-cultural sectors: sports, events, entertainment, and visitor attractions.
• Build and manage a strong prospect list, with regular outreach and tailored follow-up.
• Pitch multimedia solutions that bring environments to life and enhance the customer experience.
• Represent the company at industry events, sports summits, marketing forums, and conferences.
• Support tendering processes and manage existing client accounts with care and attention.
• Work closely with creative and technical teams to craft bespoke solutions that reflect client objectives.
• Track activity and pipeline through our CRM, with support from internal teams.

About You

• 3+ years’ experience in a client-facing sales or business development role – ideally in sports, marketing, content, or creative services.
• Perhaps you’ve worked with agencies, rights-holders, attractions, or brands, and know how to pitch value in creative, commercial terms.
• A natural relationship builder – curious, persuasive, and confident presenting ideas to senior decision-makers.
• Self-starting, with the ability to balance strategic targeting with day-to-day delivery.
• Comfortable working across different sectors and shaping solutions to fit the client, not the other way around.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Exciting pipeline of projects across sports, arts, heritage, and entertainment.
• Join a creative, ambitious team building standout experiences across the UK and beyond.
• Hybrid working setup – work from home, with travel to clients and industry events.
• Mobile phone allowance, pension, and the opportunity to make your mark in a high-growth business.

Ready to bring your commercial and creative mindset to a growing company at the heart of storytelling and experience?
