Events Business Development Strategy Director
Remote Worker - N/A • Augeo Experience
Full-time
Hello, we’re Augeo – we are a global leader in enterprise-level engagement and loyalty platform technology, delivering compelling experiences and fostering meaningful connections for employees, consumers, members, and channel partners across many industries and verticals. We serve hundreds of clients, including 70+ Fortune 500 companies, representing millions of end users. We are thought leaders and disruptors who think differently and creatively, built by entrepreneurs, operators, and innovators.
At Augeo, we’re passionate about providing an inclusive workplace that values diversity and our sustainability initiatives. Everyone is welcome - our employees are comfortable bringing their authentic whole selves to work. Be you, reach your full potential.
We work hard, we play hard and most importantly we care to our CORE about our teams, each other and we over communicate around everything…especially while we are all connected virtually.
Summary The Business Development Strategy Director leads growth through insight, creativity, and trusted relationships. This role is ideal for a strategic, consultative seller who enjoys shaping ideas early, guiding complex conversations, and building momentum over time.
As a lead within Augeo’s sales ecosystem, this role owns both new business origination and expansion of existing client relationships. Success is driven by curiosity, credibility, and the ability to translate business goals into compelling live and experiential solutions.
This is not a transactional sales role. It’s designed for someone who thrives in long sales cycles, values partnership over pitching, and brings a strong point of view to the table.
What You’ll Do
Lead discovery conversations with prospective and existing clients to uncover business needs, brand priorities, and experiential opportunities.
Originate and expand business through relationship-based, consultative sales efforts.
Shape the strategic and creative approach for proposals and presentations across live events, experience consulting, and custom programs.
Partner with internal creative, production, and sourcing teams to develop compelling concepts and viable budget assumptions.
Deliver confident, persuasive client presentations and lead pitch conversations.
Own the narrative through the sale, then partner with Account Directors to ensure continuity of the original vision.
Stay current on industry trends and Augeo capabilities.
Track opportunities in Salesforce and contribute to internal strategy and brainstorm sessions.
Travel approximately 15–25% annually and represent the Augeo brand with professionalism and energy.
What Success Looks Like
Trusted relationships established with internal teams and key client stakeholders
Business successfully closed through long-cycle, consultative pursuits
Recognition as a strategic thinker who elevates client conversations and proposal quality
What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in a related field (marketing, communications, strategy, events, agency, consulting, or similar).
7–10 years of relevant experience in business development, strategy, or consultative sales within events, experiential, agency, or related environments.
Strong strategic and creative thinking skills, with the ability to translate insight into ideas.
Confident written and verbal communicator; poised presenter with senior audiences.
Ability to work independently while influencing cross-functional teams.
Curiosity, resourcefulness, and comfort navigating ambiguity.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office; CRM experience preferred.
Location Candidates must be based in one of the following states: California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin. (If you are in KS or MN, we require employees to be in office part-time. If not in either state, this position has the capacity to be remote.)
Benefits of joining team Augeo
We offer Medical, Dental and Vision coverage with additional perks through third party vendors offering more virtual and in person care at your fingertips (must be in select locations)
We offer paid Long-Term disability and Life Insurance
HSA/FSA plans
We offer varying voluntary benefits such as critical, hospital, pet coverage and much more
Employee benefit education, campaigns and wellness opportunities
401k retirement matching and financial planning resources
