Leadership backing for that ambition is visible in how decisions get made and ideas get heard.

To step into this as Event New Business Director, you will have led and won major pitches and RFPs, with the sector contacts and category knowledge to open doors and hold the room. Experience repositioning or shaping an agency's market narrative would be beneficial but is not essential, as would familiarity with sponsorship activation or the B2B events space.

What matters most is the instinct to work across creative, commercial and strategic conversations with equal confidence, and the drive to build something, not simply maintain it. As a specialist events recruitment agency we help our clients build the most talented and diverse teams in the UK. We encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, embracing diversity across all intersecting dimensions, including ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, well-being, abilities, and neurodiversity.
