With more than 35 years in business, Christie Lites serves a diverse client base spanning Trade Shows, Corporate & Special Events, Film & Television, Concert & Theatrical Touring, Education, and the Arts.
Christie Lites employs a universal team of Rental Sales Managers who serve clients on an exclusive, relationship-based model. Client assignments are not regional or market-sector based, but are formed and grown through individual relationships. This structure provides unlimited opportunity for portfolio growth, professional autonomy, and long-term career advancement.
Job Purpose
The Business Development Manager is a full-cycle, relationship-driven sales professional responsible for building, growing, and managing a personal portfolio of lighting rental clients. Success in this role requires proactively sourcing and developing new client relationships, influencing product specification, and ensuring high-quality execution through close collaboration with Christie Lites’ global support teams.
This role is designed for individuals who thrive on independence, accountability, and long-term relationship ownership.
Who This Role Is Not For
This role is not suited for candidates seeking inherited accounts, region-assigned territories, or primarily service-only account management responsibilities. Success requires proactive prospecting, relationship ownership, and personal accountability for portfolio performance.
