BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER - EVENT INDUSTRY

Working at Egg isn’t just a job. It’s about making compelling and inspiring experiences for our clients and their audiences.

We work hard to create the magic. But we know how to have fun too. And it beats being just another cog in a faceless machine.

Bring your authentic self

At Egg we care about each other as much as we care about our customers and our business. We celebrate uniqueness and are proud of the glorious human mosaic that is Egg. And we’re always on the lookout for fresh talent and friendly faces to enrich and expand our team.

Which brings us to you.

Tenacious and growth-minded, you thrive on cultivating new business opportunities and closing deals, but you are equally conscientious about servicing existing clients and providing a superior customer service. You are personable with excellent presentation skills and relationship-building abilities and have a knack for converting lukewarm leads into sizzling growth prospects.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and drive new business development for the US market, identifying, pursuing, and converting new client opportunities in line with egg’s growth ambitions

• Build and activate your existing US client network (“black book”) to generate qualified leads and new brand opportunities

• Proactively prospect and open doors with decision-makers, positioning egg as a strategic partner for brand events and experiential marketing

• Represent and promote egg’s brand, capabilities, and expertise within the US through meetings, presentations, and industry networking

• Monitor local market trends, competitor activity, and client needs to identify growth opportunities and keep egg commercially relevant in US

• Work closely with internal teams to ensure smooth handover of won business and a strong client experience from pitch to delivery

The most important bit

At Egg, everyone’s ideas and perspectives are welcomed and encouraged. We’re constantly striving to do better and be better: we give each other feedback regularly, not just top-down from leadership, but bottom-up and sideways too! Accountability is key: it’s okay to make mistakes as long as we own and learn from them. People who thrive at Egg have a deep curiosity to keep improving, learning and coaching others.

Our nest is made up of people from all walks of life and from different social and cultural backgrounds. We believe equity and inclusivity lead to better work and a better world. That’s why, when we’re hiring new people we don’t talk about “culture fit”, but “culture add”.

We encourage and welcome applications from all genders, BIPOC, members of LGBTQ2S+ communities, and people with visible and non-visible disabilities.
