OPPORTUNITES
WORK FOR US
Action Challenge organise inspirational challenge events and unforgettable adventures in the UK & Worldwide for individuals to join, and for private groups, companies, and charities. So far our events have helped to raise over £85 million for UK charities. We’re always looking for new people to join us and help deliver our challenges – it’s fun, rewarding, and you’ll be part of a team that really does make a difference!
Business Development Manager
FULL TIME, LONDON HQ OFFICE
The ‘events & travel sector’ is firing on all cylinders after a couple of difficult ‘Covid’ years – and we are now seeking to fully re-engage with our existing client base and expand it quickly with new corporates & charities – along with an expanding portfolio of UK based mass participation events and International challenges. We are looking for an individual to join our Business Development Team to help drive these important initiatives, and to also deliver first class customer service to our key clients.
You will be an ambitious individual with the desire to work in a dynamic, small team – with a flexible approach to work and with a rounded, generalist skill-set. You will ideally have previous experience of having worked within a sales, marketing or commercial environment with the ambition to grow and achieve both targeted results as well as delivering professional events. Understanding the ‘charity sector’ would be useful (but not essential) – as would an interest in the outdoors and the style of product we sell.

You will be responsible for making sure the end-to-end customer journey runs smoothly, from getting participants to register to following up with participants post-challenge to ensure that we’re their choice for their next adventure!
