Job description

Nestled in the stunning South Devon countryside, this thriving holiday park is looking for a creative and commercially minded Event Business Development Manager to lead its event and partnership strategy. With spectacular coastal surroundings and a strong local reputation, the park is now focused on deepening its engagement with the community and attracting new events and collaborations to enhance the guest experience year-round.

The Role:

This is a dual-focused role, combining hands-on event management with strategic business development. You’ll be responsible for identifying, planning, and delivering a range of events that bring energy and footfall to the park—everything from food festivals and wellness retreats to local craft markets and seasonal celebrations.

At the same time, you’ll build strong relationships with local businesses, tourism bodies, and community groups to position the park as a hub for collaboration and activity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Planning and executing a varied calendar of on-site events
• Securing local suppliers, entertainers, and vendors to enhance the offering
• Developing partnerships with businesses to host functions, workshops, and brand activations
• Managing budgets, marketing plans, and post-event evaluations
• Acting as an ambassador for the park within the Salcombe and wider Devon community

The Person:

We are looking for a confident, outgoing personality and a flair for building connections. Ideally, you’ll bring a background in events, hospitality, or destination marketing, and a proven track record of creating memorable experiences that drive commercial results.

Strong project management skills and a hands-on approach are a must—this is a role where you’ll be just as comfortable liaising with a local brewery as you are setting up a marquee or pitching a partnership idea.

Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience in event planning and/or business development
• Excellent interpersonal and relationship-building skills
• A good understanding of the local area and seasonal tourism patterns
• Organised, proactive, and comfortable working independently
• Passion for community engagement and local partnerships

Additional Information:

• Performance-related bonus
• Flexible working with some weekend or evening hours as events require
• Generous holiday allowance and park-based benefits
• A chance to play a key role in shaping a unique local destination

Location: South Devon

Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 depending on experience

Work Arrangement: Office Based

PMR is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in all recruitment practices. We welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and actively encourage candidates who can bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the role.
