Day in the Life of a Business Development Director:
The Business Development Director is a key part of the front-line Business development leadership team, and part of the wider Business Development Department of Sumo Group. Focused on finding and developing new accounts, they will take a driving role in identifying the right potential partners for Sumo, unearthing new opportunities, and making sure Sumo Digital and its studios are at the forefront of our partners mind when looking for support.
This role is responsible for ensuring the that we are supplying Sumo's business pipeline with new work from either entirely new, or recently developed partners.

The successful candidate will thrive in a challenging and ever-changing environment where shifts in the market and client needs must be adapted to the benefit of the group. They'll be an excellent and persuasive communicator, capable of dealing with a wide variety of international clients, internal staff, and external partners. They are comfortable and confident with big picture thinking and helping to drive new client development, as well as growing recently acquired partners with input from other internal stakeholders.
• Identify and drive new business partnerships and short-term opportunities with existing clients working with the Core Business Development Team, Accounts Team, and Creative/Product Team.
• Take part in proposing new services and marketing strategies to ensure Sumo remains the "partner of choice" externally .
• Act as the main point of contact within the Front-Line Business Development team for assigned clients and working with the wider BD team to plan growth targets.
• Provide leadership when required to BD Managers to ensure our outreach is appropriately coordinated.
• Work with stakeholders to develop and regularly review Sumo's new client strategy and workflow for outreach.
• Responsible for building a relationship with external teams and collaborating to share and leverage market knowledge and data for internal reports that would be useful for Sumo.

2nd Stage: A 1-hour competency based interview (via Teams) meeting our VP of Business Development and a member of our HR team to discuss your approaches to BD, collaboration and past experience.
Final Stage: A 1-hour interview (via Teams) meeting our Commercial Director and VP of Business Development to discuss your experience to date in further detail, your understanding of the role at Sumo and a candidate led Q&A.
