Description
New Business Development Director
Events & Experiences | UK (Primarily Remote)
£50,000–£60,000 + Excellent Commission + Car Allowance
Are you a strategic, commercially driven sales leader looking for a genuinely flexible role within a dynamic and fast-moving events environment? This could be the opportunity you’ve been waiting for.
We’re partnering with a well-established and growing events-led business that delivers high-impact experiences for major brands. They’re now looking to appoint a New Business Development Director to lead growth, shape commercial strategy and build long-term, high-value client relationships.
This role offers exceptional flexibility — both in working pattern and location — making it ideal for experienced sales leaders seeking autonomy without compromising impact.

Why This Role Stands Out
  • UK-wide office network (North, Midlands & South) – just 1 day per week in an office
  • Part-time or full-time hours available
  • Excellent commission structure with uncapped potential
  • Car allowance
  • Salary in the region of £50,000–£60,000 plus bonus
  • Flexible working – predominantly remote

The Role
You’ll take ownership of new business strategy and delivery, driving revenue growth while positioning the business as a leading partner within the events space.
Key responsibilities include:
  • Defining and executing a new business and growth strategy
  • Securing high-value new clients and long-term partnerships
  • Owning revenue targets, pipeline management and forecasting
  • Collaborating with marketing and leadership teams to support brand positioning and lead generation
  • Acting as a senior ambassador for the business at industry events and client meetings
  • Providing commercial insight and performance reporting to senior leadership
  • Supporting and mentoring business development colleagues, where required

About You
  • Proven experience in senior business development or sales leadership, ideally within events, hospitality or agency environments
  • Track record of winning and growing high-value accounts
  • Commercially astute, confident managing revenue, margin and pipeline
  • Strategic thinker with a hands-on approach to deal-making
  • Comfortable working autonomously in a remote-first environment
  • Confident representing a business at industry events and client functions
  • Flexible to travel and host client events as required (including occasional out-of-hours)

What’s On Offer
  • A genuinely flexible senior role that fits around your life
  • Opportunity to shape and influence commercial strategy
  • Strong earning potential through base salary and commission
  • Supportive, values-led culture with long-term progression

If you’re an experienced sales leader looking for a high-trust, high-impact role in an exciting events environment — this one is worth a conversation.
