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.
