Business Development Manager – Stadia & Live Events Branding Solutions
UK Based / National Role
Base Salary DOE Uncapped Commission Car Private Healthcare
 
Are you a proven new business salesperson who wants to sell something a little more exciting than the norm?
I’m working with a specialist branding business that delivers high-impact stadia, sporting and live event branding solutions across the UK.
From pitch-side and concourse branding through to huge exterior graphics, event signage, brand activations and promotional merchandise, their work is designed to be seen, often by tens of thousands of people in the venue and millions more watching from home.
They’re now looking for a Business Development Manager to take their offering to a wider market and, importantly, bring in new business.
 
The opportunity
This is a genuine new business sales role.
You’ll be responsible for identifying and developing opportunities across the stadia, sports and live events markets, building relationships with the people responsible for venues, events, sponsorships and brand activations.
The business can provide clients with a complete solution, including:

- Stadia branding
- Pitch-side signage and graphics
- Concourse branding
- Large-scale exterior wraps
- Live event signage and graphics
- Sponsorship and club activations
- Branding consultancy
- Promotional and branded merchandise
- Vehicle wrapping
- Design through to installation

Your job is to get them in front of more customers.
 
What they’re looking for
I’m looking for someone who genuinely enjoys new business development.
You’ll need to be comfortable opening doors, building your own pipeline, networking and developing relationships from scratch rather than simply inheriting a portfolio of existing accounts.
Experience selling into stadiums, sporting organisations, live events, venues, experiential, sponsorship or brand activation would be particularly attractive.
Alternatively, you may come from a large format graphics, signage, exhibition, events or visual communications background and already understand how to sell project-led solutions.
You’ll be someone who:

- Has a proven track record in B2B new business sales
- Is confident prospecting and developing opportunities from scratch
- Can build relationships with senior decision-makers
- Is commercially minded and comfortable negotiating
- Enjoys getting out, meeting customers and attending industry events
- Can sell a solution rather than simply competing on price
- Is self-motivated and comfortable managing a national territory

 
If you have a strong new business background and like the idea of seeing the projects you’ve sold come to life across stadiums, sporting venues and major live events, I’d love to hear from you.
Apply or contact me directly for a confidential conversation.
