About The Role
Techoraco is a global leader in delivering high-value B2B events across the telecoms and digital infrastructure sectors. Our flagship brands — including ITW, Datacloud, and Capacity — connect senior leaders, innovators, and decision-makers across the industry.
We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Business Development Manager to join our growing commercial team. This role is pivotal in driving revenue through new business, account growth, and strategic relationship-building across our portfolio of events.

This role requires a highly consultative sales approach, strong industry insight, and the ability to work collaboratively with internal teams across marketing, production, and operations to ensure commercial success across our events.
