Business Development Manager – Creative Digital Solutions

Up to £40,000 + Commission | Hybrid | Gloucestershire

We’re hiring on behalf of an exciting fast-growing, innovative creative software company. You'll be the driving force behind new business development — sourcing leads, nurturing them into long-term partnerships, and selling bespoke, interactive digital solutions. Working closely with internal design, development, and project management teams, you’ll guide clients through innovative projects, from pitch to delivery.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and grow your own portfolio of client accounts
• Lead the full sales cycle — from outreach and pitching to closing and account growth
• Collaborate with creative teams to shape and present digital product ideas
• Build lasting relationships through trust, service, and proactive communication
• Report on sales activity, pipeline, and KPIs (weekly/monthly)
• Travel to client sites in the UK and internationally as needed
• Contribute to strategic growth and team targets
• Own gross margin and budget considerations on your accounts

What We’re Looking For:

• A driven, proactive sales professional with experience in B2B or solution-led sales
• Ideally experience within the Events industry
• Minimum 2 years in sales, skilled at both hunting new business and nurturing these relationships
• Commercially sharp, customer-focused, and creatively curious
• Comfortable discussing budgets, negotiating terms, and closing deals
• Willingness to travel (UK + overseas) and occasionally work weekends when needed
• Strong communicator with the confidence to guide clients through bespoke projects

Why This Role?

This is a high-impact position within a close-knit, talented team working on cutting-edge digital experiences. You’ll have the freedom to contribute creatively, lead your own client strategy, and earn commission based on your success — all while working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
