Job Title: Business Development Manager (North West)

Company: Wildfire Experience Agency Location: North West UK (Field-based / Hybrid with travel across Manchester, Liverpool, and surrounding areas)
Job Type: Full-time

We don’t just plan events; we create disruptive, unforgettable brand experiences that ignite audiences and drive serious engagement. At Wildfire, we blend bold creativity with flawless execution to help brands stand out in a noisy world. We are growing fast, and we need relentless, high-energy talent to help us capture the market.

Are you a natural hustler? Do you thrive on the thrill of the chase and the high of closing a major deal?

We are looking for a dynamic, fiercely hungry Business Development Manager to spearhead our growth across the North West of the UK. You won't be sitting back and waiting for the phone to ring; you will be blazing a trail across Manchester, Liverpool, and beyond, hunting down new opportunities, pitching to top-tier brands, and turning cold leads into long-term agency partners.

If you have a hunter mentality, a black book of regional contacts, and a passion for creative marketing, we want you on our team.

• Hunting for New Business: Proactively identify, target, and secure new B2B clients across the North West region.
• Building the Pipeline: Generate leads through cold outreach, strategic networking, social selling (Linked In), and attending key regional industry events.
• Pitching with Passion: Lead dynamic, persuasive pitches. You’ll work closely with our creative and production teams to present unforgettable experiential campaign ideas to prospects.
• Networking: Be the face of Wildfire in the North West. Build a strong presence in key business hubs (from Media
  
  CityUK to the Baltic Triangle).
• Smashing Targets: Meet and exceed aggressive but highly rewarding revenue and pipeline targets.
• Market Intelligence: Keep a pulse on regional market trends, competitor activity, and emerging brands in the area to keep Wildfire one step ahead.

• The "Hunger": You are fiercely ambitious, resilient, and target-driven. You don't take "no" for an answer; you see it as a challenge.
• Proven Track Record: 3+ years of successful B2B sales or business development experience, ideally within the agency, events, marketing, or media landscape.
• Local Knowledge: A deep understanding of the North West business ecosystem and a solid network of regional brand contacts.
• Charisma & Confidence: You are a natural communicator and a persuasive storyteller who can command a room and build instant rapport with C-level executives and Marketing Directors.
• Autonomous & Dynamic: You are a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, autonomous environment. You manage your own diary and treat your territory like your own business.
• Valid UK Driving Licence: Essential for traveling across your territory to meet clients.

• Competitive Base Salary: + an uncapped, aggressive commission structure that heavily rewards high performers.
• Flexibility: Hybrid/field-based working model. We care about results, not where you sit.
• Tech & Travel: Laptop, smartphone, and all travel expenses covered.
• Culture: A vibrant, creative, and fast-paced agency environment with epic team socials and access to some of the coolest brand events in the country.
• Career Growth: As you grow the North West region, your role and team will grow with it.
