Business Development Manager
£50,000 – £60,000
Location: London (Hybrid)

Are you a business development professional from a sports or creative background looking to break into the cultural and visitor attractions sector? 

Do you thrive on building relationships, pitching ideas, and driving growth in dynamic, fast-moving environments?

We want to hear from you.

The Company 

We’re a rapidly growing creative technology business that delivers immersive multimedia solutions to clients in the cultural and visitor attractions sector – from museums and theatres to sports stadiums, immersive experiences, and theme parks. 

We collaborate with marketing teams, experience designers, and commercial heads to deliver standout experiences using cutting-edge hardware and content – helping our clients engage audiences in fresh, memorable ways.

The Role 

We’re looking for a creative, commercially sharp Business Development Manager to help grow our client base across sport, heritage, arts, and entertainment. Whether you’ve worked in sports agencies, creative marketing, or a commercial role at a rights-holder or venue, you’ll bring an instinct for uncovering opportunities, building relationships, and pitching ideas that excite. 

Key Responsibilities 

Target and develop new business across cultural and non-cultural sectors: sports, events, entertainment, and visitor attractions.
Build and manage a strong prospect list, with regular outreach and tailored follow-up.
Pitch multimedia solutions that bring environments to life and enhance the customer experience.
Represent the company at industry events, sports summits, marketing forums, and conferences.
Support tendering processes and manage existing client accounts with care and attention.
Work closely with creative and technical teams to craft bespoke solutions that reflect client objectives.
Track activity and pipeline through our CRM, with support from internal teams.
About You

3+ years’ experience in a client-facing sales or business development role – ideally in sports, marketing, content, or creative services.
Perhaps you’ve worked with agencies, rights-holders, attractions, or brands, and know how to pitch value in creative, commercial terms.
A natural relationship builder – curious, persuasive, and confident presenting ideas to senior decision-makers.
Self-starting, with the ability to balance strategic targeting with day-to-day delivery.
Comfortable working across different sectors and shaping solutions to fit the client, not the other way around.
Why You’ll Love This Role 

£50,000 – £60,000 salary.
Exciting pipeline of projects across sports, arts, heritage, and entertainment.
Join a creative, ambitious team building standout experiences across the UK and beyond.
Hybrid working setup – work from home, with travel to clients and industry events.
Mobile phone allowance, pension, and the opportunity to make your mark in a high-growth business.
Ready to bring your commercial and creative mindset to a growing company at the heart of storytelling and experience?

Where to Advertise UAV Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise UAV jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, defence channels and community routes that reach drone, autonomy and BVLOS engineers. The candidate pool spans aeronautical engineers, embedded systems developers, flight control specialists, RF engineers, payload integration experts and regulatory affairs professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest UAV candidates often come from defence backgrounds, aerospace primes or academic research groups, and move between roles through specialist networks, industry events and sector-specific channels rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UAVJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise UAV and drone roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

UAV Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

UAV Jobs UK 2026: drone engineering roles, salaries and the autonomous aviation hiring trends shaping UK UAV careers over the next three years. The unmanned aerial vehicle sector has spent the better part of a decade promising to transform industries. That transformation is now happening — not as the sudden revolution that early advocates predicted, but as a steady, well-funded, and increasingly regulated maturation that is reshaping the jobs market in ways that are both significant and durable. Drones are no longer a novelty technology operated by enthusiasts and a handful of specialist defence contractors. They are operational infrastructure across an expanding range of industries — logistics and last-mile delivery, infrastructure inspection, precision agriculture, emergency services, construction surveying, maritime operations, and military and defence applications that have grown dramatically in strategic importance. Each of those sectors is generating its own distinct hiring demand, drawing on overlapping but meaningfully different skill sets, and creating career pathways that did not exist at anything approaching meaningful scale three years ago. For job seekers, the UAV jobs market of 2026 represents a genuine opportunity — but one that rewards those who understand the sector's specific technical, regulatory, and commercial dynamics rather than those who simply bring enthusiasm and a drone licence. The roles being created now are more technically sophisticated, more commercially oriented, and more regulatory-aware than the UAV jobs of even three years ago. This article breaks down what the UK UAV jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the next wave of drone industry growth.

For individuals exploring roles on www.UAVJobs.co.uk , knowing which organisations are innovating, scaling, winning contracts, or investing in the UK market can make a critical difference when planning your career. This article highlights the top UAV employers to watch in 2026, from cutting‑edge UK startups to global drone innovators with growing UK operations.
