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?

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are no longer just military assets—they're transforming agriculture, infrastructure inspection, logistics, filmmaking, and public safety. As commercial drone operations scale in the UK, the demand for skilled UAV professionals is rising sharply across engineering, flight operations, data analysis, and autonomous systems.

How to Find Hidden UAV Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like IMechE, RAeS & More

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones, are transforming industries in the UK—from surveying, inspection, and agriculture to emergency services, logistics, and defence. As the sector evolves, so too does the demand for skilled UAV professionals: pilots, systems engineers, data analysts, AI specialists, and regulatory experts. Yet many of the best UAV jobs—especially in R&D, government contracts, and specialist commercial operations—are never advertised publicly. They’re often filled through trusted networks, working group referrals, pilot programmes, and specialist community engagement. In this guide, you’ll discover how to access hidden UAV jobs in the UK by engaging with professional bodies like the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), APRIL (UK), and regional drone networks. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, special interest groups (SIGs), and industry clusters to position yourself at the forefront of opportunity—before roles are even published.

How to Get a Better UAV Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

But with the growing adoption of UAVs in defence, surveying, logistics, agriculture, inspection, and emergency response, your skills remain in demand. Whether you're a drone pilot, UAV systems engineer, geospatial analyst, flight software developer, or mechanical integrator, this guide will help you bounce back stronger after redundancy.
