New Business Development Director - Global Events Agency

Location: Surrey / Hybrid

Superb opportunity for a new business Director to join a truly global agency that delivers cutting-edge experiences, events, and exhibitions for high-profile clients.

The agency

This full-service events and communications agency works with well-known global brands, primarily in the healthcare and pharma sectors, to deliver a range of events and experiences. From large-scale congresses for thousands to standalone meetings for 500 delegates, with logistically complex elements, they operate worldwide in fantastic destinations. Growing steadily, they are now hiring a New Business Development Director to support their ongoing growth strategy.

The role

This highly autonomous yet collaborative role involves identifying and nurturing new business opportunities to drive revenue and enhance the agency's global brand presence. Responsibilities include lead generation, prospecting, qualifying opportunities, presenting credentials to clients, responding to RFPs, leading pitch processes, and securing contracts. The role requires collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, preparing winning pitch responses, and attending events to engage new contacts.

About you

A proven background in new business development within the events, exhibitions, and production industry is essential. Knowledge of the pharmaceutical or Life Sciences events/communications sector would be a significant advantage but is not mandatory. Experience managing the entire sales cycle, networking at industry events, and securing new business for an agency are crucial.

Excellent senior-level opportunity at a leading agency during an exciting growth period!
