Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager - Technical Event Production

We're currently recruiting on behalf of a well-established technical event production company that's looking to hire an experienced Business Development Manager to support continued growth across the UK, Europe, and international markets.

About You

This is not a generic events sales role. Our client is specifically looking for someone with a strong background in AV and technical event production who understands the operational and commercial realities of delivering live events.

You are confident developing relationships with agencies, corporates, venues, and brands, with the ability to sell creative and technically robust event solutions that lead to long-term partnerships.

The Company

The company has built an outstanding reputation over the last 30 years, delivering high-profile live, hybrid, and broadcast events for global brands, FTSE 100 businesses, and leading agencies.

Unlike many of their competitors, they operate a substantial in-house inventory, including lighting, audio, LED, rigging, staging, and broadcast equipment, allowing them to deliver large-scale productions without relying heavily on sub-hire.

Your Role

Key responsibilities include:

• Identifying and securing new business opportunities across corporate, agency, and trade sectors
• Building long-term client relationships across the UK and Europe
• Selling full-service technical and creative production solutions
• Working closely with internal delivery teams to develop commercially viable proposals
• Converting one-off projects into ongoing production partnerships

About You

• 3-7 years' experience in AV or technical event production sales
• A solid understanding of live event production and technical delivery
• Experience selling into agencies, corporates, venues, or production environments
• A proven record of winning and closing high-value business
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills

If you have the technical production background and commercial drive to succeed in this type of environment, we'd be interested in hearing from you.
