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, predominantly 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 some fantastic destinations. As they continue to grow, they are 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 prospecting, qualifying opportunities, presenting credentials, responding to RFPs, leading pitch processes, and securing contracts. The role requires working with internal and external stakeholders, developing winning pitch responses, and some travel to 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 owning the sales cycle from start to finish, networking at industry events, and securing new business for an agency are key requirements.

This is a fantastic senior-level opportunity to join a leading agency at an exciting time!
