Business Development Lead
WOW Recruitment
Job Description
You know the corporate space. You know where the budgets sit. But if you are tired of selling the same predictable, copy-and-paste formats, it is time for an upgrade.
Independent, and staying that way
Independent, founder-led, and fiercely free from the corporate red tape of recent industry mergers, this studio operates on a different level.
While competitors get swallowed up by holding groups, this team stays true to what they do best - building the extraordinary.
Their mantelpiece is stacked with the actual crème de la crème of global recognition - multiple Grammys, Emmys, BAFTAs, Cannes Lions and D&AD Pencils. Real proof, zero pay-to-play vanity awards.
The studio
They started in digital, evolved into physical builds, and built a global reputation creating jaw-dropping experiential work.
Their client list says the rest. A sportswear brand that shows up on shirts in every stadium. A confectionery house behind the chocolate under everyone's Christmas tree. One of the biggest names in consumer tech.
Now they are backing their events and experiential arm as the growth story for the next few years. They need someone commercial to lead that charge.
The role
As Business Development Lead, you will be responsible for targeting high profile projects across B2B and B2C.
Crucially, you'll work alongside a world-class bench of experiential EPs and Creative Directors who bring your pitches to life.
Win business your way
You have the autonomy to win business your way. Whether you lean into high-volume prospecting or high-level networking, thought leadership and industry influence, the leadership team gives you the freedom to back your own strengths.
The team
You'll be joining an existing business development team who focus across the studio's other disciplines.
Each of them has been with the business for a number of years. In commercial roles that tells you more about a company than any culture deck.
What you'll need
- A track record of repeatedly winning new business in B2B/B2C events and experiential
- Demonstrable experience opening doors and generating repeatable revenue with major brands or agency partners
- The autonomy and drive to run your own sales strategy from day one
Package
- Commission tiered between 3-6% of project value
Location
Central London - hybrid working on offer
