Disrupt Talent is proud to be working with our client, a highly respected and bespoke exhibition and events company. We are seeking one to two hungry, tenacious Business Development Executives to join their growing team. This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious sales professional to build a long-term career with a company that delivers high-end, multi-million-pound projects for clients in the pharmaceutical and aerospace sectors.
This isn't about quick wins or volume; it's about smashing the phones, unearthing new business, and nurturing lasting client partnerships.

* Strategic Pitches: Conduct virtual and face-to-face meetings to present bespoke exhibition solutions that meet client needs.
* Account Ownership: Manage your clients from initial contact through to project completion and beyond, retaining ownership of your accounts for the long term.
* International Travel: Represent the company at trade shows and client events 5-6+ times per year, with a focus on Europe, the Middle East, and the US.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience in B2B sales or business development, with a track record of building and maintaining client relationships.
* A strategic mindset with the ability to navigate longer sales cycles.
* Exceptional communication and presentation skills.
* A proactive and self-motivated approach to finding and developing new business.
* Flexibility and willingness to travel internationally.
* Full UK driving licence and a valid passport.
What’s In It For You?
* A competitive base salary of £30,000 - £35,000.
* An attractive commission structure of 2% on the final sale value, with full account ownership.
* A hybrid work model: enjoy the flexibility of working from home 3 days a week while collaborating with the team from the Rugby office 2 days a week.
* The opportunity to travel internationally and represent a leading brand in the industry.
* Access to modern office facilities, including an on-site gym.
If you are a consultative and commercially aware sales professional with a passion for the events and exhibition industry, we encourage you to apply.
