Business Development Manager

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager to join our Storyboard team at Holiday Inn London Shepperton. In this role, you’ll support the growth of our events and meetings business by generating new leads, building client relationships, and contributing to revenue growth.

If you’re motivated, enthusiastic, and eager to develop your career in sales and hospitality, we’d love to hear from you.

Do you love turning ideas into unforgettable moments? Are you someone who enjoys connecting with people and bringing energy to every interaction?

Then you might be a great fit for Storyboard – our unique and flexible events space.

Storyboard isn’t just a venue – it’s a blank canvas where memories are made, from sparkling weddings to inspiring conferences and standout celebrations. Now, we’re looking for a driven and proactive sales professional to help us grow.

In this exciting and visible role, you’ll support the proactive sales effort by identifying opportunities, engaging with clients, and promoting our Storyboard offering. You’ll work closely with the on-property sales and events team to help deliver commercial success.

This is a hotel-based role, but one that also involves being out and about – meeting clients, attending events, and helping generate new business opportunities. You’ll need to be confident, personable, and eager to learn, with a genuine passion for sales and hospitality.

• Support the promotion and sale of the Storyboard Meetings & Events product to corporate and agency clients
• Assist in generating new business across weddings, celebrations, and corporate events
• Help host site visits and client tours, showcasing the venue and its potential
• Build and maintain positive relationships with new and existing clients
• Support the team in achieving sales targets and contributing to revenue growth
• Work collaboratively with the reactive sales and operations teams to deliver successful events
• Attend networking events and industry activities to support lead generation

• A confident and enthusiastic communicator who enjoys working with people
• Experience in sales and events
• A proactive attitude and willingness to learn and develop
• Someone who is organised, motivated, and enjoys working towards targets
• A team player with attention to detail and a positive approach
• Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (travel is required)

• Competitive salary with bonus potential
• Opportunities for career development within a leading hotel brand
• Staff discounts and benefits as part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts network

If you're an ambitious and motivated individual looking to start or grow your career in sales within a dynamic hospitality environment, we’d love to hear from you.
