Business Development Manager

What is the job?

Company growth can’t happen without a sales team and a sales team can’t excel without a fearless leader. A leader that motivates and drives the team onto the pursuit of commercial success through increasing existing revenue streams and prospecting brand-new strategic partners, whilst also leading by example.

• You will need to track market trends and data to ensure that Cineworld is always positioned as a market leader.
• You will be keeping on top of key data metrics for your team and provide regular analysis to senior stakeholders.

About you
