Job Description
Job Title: Business Development Manager
Location: Queens Square, Bristol (BS1 4NH)
Salary: £75,000 – £85,000 Base | Year 1 OTE £150,000 + | Uncapped Commission
Join One of the World’s Leading B2B Growth & Events Businesses
At GDS Group, we help the world’s biggest technology brands connect with senior decision-makers through market-leading events, digital experiences and innovative growth solutions.
With offices across Bristol, Miami, New York and Kosovo, we operate at the intersection of technology, media, sales and innovation — partnering with global enterprises such as AWS, InterSystems, Google, Intel and IBM - to drive transformation, build pipeline and create real commercial impact.
This is not a traditional sales role. It’s an opportunity to work with emerging technologies, engage directly with C-suite executives and accelerate your career within a fast-paced international business.
Why This Role Stands Out
Uncapped earning potential with realistic Year 1 OTE of £150K+
International career opportunities across our global offices
Work with some of the world’s most innovative technology brands
Clear progression pathways into senior sales and leadership roles
High-performance culture with quarterly incentives, prizes and rewards
Exposure to AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data, digital transformation and emerging tech markets
Weekly wellness classes and a vibrant Bristol HQ environment
Prime central Bristol location — 5 minutes from Temple Meads
What You’ll Be Doing
Identifying and engaging senior decision-makers across global technology markets
Building new business relationships through strategic outreach, networking and consultative selling
Working directly with innovative technology vendors and enterprise organisations
Generating commercial opportunities and contributing to large-scale client campaigns
Articulating GDS Group’s value proposition with confidence and credibility
Becoming a trusted commercial partner to clients operating at the forefront of digital transformation
What We’re Looking For
You’re ambitious, commercially driven, and energised by winning new business.
Ideal candidates will have:
4+ years’ B2B sales or business development experience
Strong cold outreach and prospecting capability (phone, LinkedIn, email)
Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and C-level executives
Excellent communication and presentation skills
A proactive, resilient and target-driven mindset
Strong organisation and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
Most importantly, we’re looking for people with ambition, personality and the hunger to build a successful commercial career.
Why GDS Group?
We’re a globally recognised business trusted by leading brands to create meaningful business connections and transformative commercial experiences.

If you want more than just another sales role — and are looking for a business where you can genuinely accelerate your career and earning potential — we’d love to hear from you.
