Summary
Role overview
About us.
Alamy isn’t just a global visual content platform; it’s the fuel that powers the creativity of some of the world’s most
recognisable brands. With millions of high-quality images, videos and visual experiences, and a global community of over 150,000
contributors, we help customers tell powerful stories every day.
We’re part of PA Media Group and pride ourselves on being curious, collaborative and commercially bold. We value different
perspectives, encourage innovation and support agile ways of working wherever possible. We’re committed to creating an inclusive
environment where everyone can do their best work.
Candidates can be based anywhere in the UK, as long as they are able to commute to one of PA Media’s main offices in Howden (East
Yorkshire), London Paddington, or Didcot. The role is hybrid, with a typical week involving three days in the office.
The role.
We’re looking for a results-driven Business Development Manager to join Alamy’s Enterprise Sales team, specialising in the Betting
sector. This is a fixed-term contract, covering parental leave, due to commence by April at the latest.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of a personal Betting sales target, driving new revenue by proactively identifying, developing
and securing new business opportunities, while also growing revenue from established clients.
This is a role for a natural hunter – someone who thrives on building pipelines, opening doors, and converting opportunity into
long-term value. You’ll be commercially astute, comfortable operating at pace, and motivated by delivering results in a dynamic
and evolving market.
You’ll work closely with colleagues across Sales, Marketing, Content and the Alamy senior leadership team to ensure partnerships
align with Alamy’s strategy and long-term goals.
What you’ll be doing.
* Striving to exceed your annual Betting revenue target
* Proactively sourcing, managing and converting a strong pipeline of new Betting customers
* Developing a deep understanding of prospective clients and presenting creative, tailored solutions
* Preparing and delivering high-quality, on-brand sales presentations
* Achieving agreed KPIs across calls, emails and client meetings
* Providing data-led projections to support forecasting
* Building trusted, long-term relationships with senior stakeholders in the Betting industry
About you.
To succeed in this role, you’ll bring a proven track record in new business development, ideally within fast-paced or competitive
markets. You’ll also demonstrate:
* Strong commercial acumen and the ability to articulate clear ROI
* Confidence negotiating and influencing at a senior level
* Excellent presentation and communication skills
* Resilience, tenacity and the ability to manage competing priorities
* A proactive, curious mindset with a strong sense of accountability
* Experience using CRM systems such as Salesforce
* An interest or understanding of the Betting industry (essential)
* Knowledge of copyright and licensing in photography is beneficial, but not essential
What we offer.
Alongside a competitive salary and commission (based on realistic targets), we offer a comprehensive benefits package, including:
* 5 weeks’ holiday plus 8 public holidays
* Holiday purchase scheme
* Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay
* Company pension
* Life assurance (4x salary)
* Wellbeing day and volunteering day annually
