About the Job

This isn’t your typical sales role. The Business Development Manager creates demand instead of just responding to it, spotting new markets, partnerships, and event opportunities before anyone else does. You’ll connect the dots others miss and pitch creative, scalable ideas that expand Bright’s reach, revenue, and relevance. You’re not a farmer. You’re a hunter, an inventor, and a builder.

What You’ll Do

• Proactively identify and pursue new clients, venues, event types, and untapped market segments.
• Pitch creative proposals that go beyond the ask, turning simple rental needs into experiential environments and full-scale event concepts.
• Develop new channels by building relationships with traditional and non-traditional partners, such as real estate developers, municipalities, entertainment districts, and tourism boards.
• Walk sites, meet clients, and offer on-the-spot solutions that balance long-term revenue strategy with logistical feasibility.
• Build strategic partnerships that position our offerings as essential to venue success, seasonal programming, and community initiatives.
• Track seasonal trends, city permitting developments, and the evolving needs of venues and event producers.
• Set and exceed ambitious sales targets by creating opportunities where none existed before.
