Job Description:

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 sector, to deliver a range of events and experiences. They organize large-scale congresses for thousands and standalone meetings for 500 delegates, with logistically complex elements, 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. You will manage the full sales cycle: unearth leads, prospect, qualify opportunities, present credentials to clients, respond to RFPs, lead pitch processes, and secure contracts. The role requires collaboration with internal and external stakeholders, preparing 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 entire sales process, networking at industry events, and securing new business for an agency are critical.

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