Business Development Manager, Fintech Events
Central London | Hybrid (3 days in office) + Travel
Up to £45,000 + Uncapped Commission
Help reimagine a flagship fintech event.
Our client is an established B2B media and events business in the financial technology space. For 2027 they are taking one of their flagship London events in a bold new direction, reshaping it as a festival experience rather than rows of panels and an expo hall.
They need a Business Development Manager to sit at the heart of that change: someone who speaks the language of financial technology, builds trust with senior people and wants a real say in how the reimagined event takes shape. You will work alongside the CEO, deciding which companies belong in the room and designing partnerships around what each one wants to achieve.
The Role
- Lead commercial growth for the portfolio, with the 2027 edition front and centre
- Win new business across fintech and related technology sectors, while expanding relationships with existing partners
- Get to know senior marketing and commercial leaders, and what success looks like for them
- Shape and sell bespoke partnerships, from hosted experiences and content to private meetings and campaigns
- Team up with colleagues across content, marketing and client success to bring each idea to life
- Stay on top of your pipeline in HubSpot
- Get out to industry events, grow your network and bring fresh ideas back to the team
About You
- A background in B2B sales or business development, whether in events, media, fintech, money movement, SaaS or partnerships
- Good knowledge of money movement, fintech or financial services technology. Events experience is a bonus, not a requirement
- Comfortable in conversation with senior decision makers, and you listen before you sell
- Equally happy winning new clients and nurturing existing ones
- Ambitious, driven by targets and well organised
- Excited by the chance to reshape something, rather than simply keep it running
Why Join?
- Join at a pivotal moment as a flagship event is reinvented
- The backing of a respected business with an established audience and client base
- Direct access to the CEO and genuine influence over the product
- Uncapped commission and clear room to grow as the portfolio expands
