Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager - Sponsorship & Partnerships | Global Destination Event

New York

Some events you simply must attend. This is one of those.

You sell - to the brands everyone else is fighting to get a meeting with.

We're hiring on behalf of one of the most influential destination events on the global business calendar - the annual 'must-attend' where the world's biggest brands, boldest challengers and most senior decision-makers all land in one place. Household names. Category-definers. The room everyone wants in.

We're looking for a Business Development Manager for the New York team to win new enterprise-level partnership and sponsorship business across the portfolio.

It's a hunter's seat - but not a transactional one. You'll sell high-value partnerships to commercial and marketing leaders at global enterprises and high-growth tech companies. The people who win here listen first: they get what a client is really trying to achieve, build a real relationship, and design a partnership that puts that client in front of exactly the right audience.

What you'll do

Own new business end to end - prospect, pitch, close, and grow

Build genuine relationships with senior decision-makers at the world's leading brands

Carry a meaningful new-business number and beat it

Become the partner clients come back to year after year

What you'll bring

A track record of winning new business in sponsorship, exhibition, media, events or partnership sales

The instinct to grow accounts, not just close them

Credibility and confidence in front of senior buyers

Drive, organization, and a real love of the chase

Based in (or relocating to) New York

What's in it for you?

$120,000 base (flexible for the right candidate) + uncapped commission, Circa $180,000 on-target - with more for outperformance

Full medical, dental, vision package to fit your needs

Retirement plan with company match (401K)

Competitive vacation policy

A true enterprise career accelerator: sell to the brands you admire and build a network that follows you for life

A globally recognized platform, and the credibility of standing on it

A team that backs hunters and celebrates the win

If you sell the right way - by actually understanding your clients - and you want a stage this big, let's talk.
