Business Development Manager - United States

Our client, a global events and experiential group, just acquired a leading B2C experiential agency and is scaling it fast. This role is brand new, built from zero, with no pipeline to inherit or history to untangle — just an open field, real backing, and the chance to build something genuinely yours. The company is a certified B Corp, EcoVadis Gold, repeat Global Agency of the Year, and holds a King’s Award for Enterprise. This isn’t a business standing still; it’s one investing seriously in growth, and this hire sits at the heart of that story, reporting directly to a newly appointed Managing Director based in Austin.

Responsibilities

• Own the entire new-business cycle, from first contact to signature, across the US
• Build a sharp, live pipeline in HubSpot
• Lead pitches and negotiations with enterprise-level brands
• Build real relationships at industry events
• Chase an individual revenue target with commission stacked on top
• Team up with marketing to fuel the pipeline further

Requirements

• 5+ years in sales or growth, experiential, events, or a strongly transferable background
• A track record selling into enterprise clients
• A genuine closer, not just a relationship-builder
• Sharp communication and organization skills
• Based in Austin or New York (time-zone alignment with leadership is a must)

Benefits

• $100k base salary plus commission
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Direct line to the Managing Director
• Real scope to shape the role as you grow it
• Mental health support
• Paid volunteering
