* Report weekly activity and sales performance to leadership
What We're Looking For:
* A confident business developer with 3+ years of B2B sales experience in creative or built environments
* Proven success building and converting pipelines (ideally in exhibitions, interiors, live events or creative production)
* Strong communication skills – both written and face-to-face
* Highly self-motivated with a natural ability to open doors and spot opportunities
* A good eye for detail, with an understanding of how great design and solid delivery build trust
* Ability to travel across the UK and occasionally into Europe for meetings and pitches
Why ESG?
* Over four decades of proven delivery for world-class clients
* 20,000 sq ft in-house production facility including joinery, CNC, spray-finish, print and scenic
