A bit about us
We’re Hyve - organiser of the world’s fastest-growing and most forward-thinking B2B events. As the chosen event partner to many of the world’s leading companies, our platforms play a critical role in their strategies - helping them enter new markets, accelerate growth and connect with the people who matter most.
Our portfolio features some of the world’s leading events in sectors like ecommerce, healthcare, edtech, and fintech. We’re growing fast with an entrepreneurial culture that empowers big ideas and quick action, plus an ambitious acquisition strategy bringing exciting new events into our mix.
Alongside our market-leading events, we’re building tech and data-driven products that supercharge connections – from one-to-one meeting programs and curated table talks to year-round engagement platforms.
Whatever your role, you’ll join a global team redefining how industries connect, collaborate, and grow – working with some of the most talented people in the business.
Think that sounds good? Wait until our talent acquisition team tells you about the culture.
A bit about you
First things first: whatever your background, beliefs or ambitions, there’s a culture of belonging at Hyve — and everyone is welcome. The question isn’t where you’ve come from, but where you want to go.
You’ll thrive here if you’re curious, collaborative and not afraid to challenge convention. We look for people who take pride in what they do, who are excited by change and always moving forward. The kind of people who stay open, keep learning, and look for better ways to make an impact.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our shared behaviours guide how we work: we dare to do things differently, own our work, embrace collaboration, stay true to ourselves and others, and remember that optimism wins.
If that sounds like you, you’ll fit right in.

We are seeking an ambitious, proactive Business Development Manager to drive new exhibitor acquisition for Breakbulk Europe, while identifying and closing multi-show business across our Breakbulk Middle East, Breakbulk Americas, and Breakbulk Asia events.

- Sell integrated packages combining exhibition stand space, high-impact brand sponsorships, and year-round digital media solutions.
- Attend competitor and related industry events, conferences, and exhibitions to aggressively network, gather market intelligence, and generate qualified leads.
- Provide accurate sales forecasting, prospect tracking, and pipeline reporting within the CRM.
- Collaborate with international sales desks and marketing teams to support global new-logo campaigns and market-entry initiatives.
