Business Development Executive

Job Title : Senior Business Development Executive

Location: Little Rock, AR (Onsite role)

Salary: $65,000 - $75,000

Join One of the World’s Leading B2B Growth & Events Businesses

At GDS Group, we help the world’s biggest technology brands connect with senior decision-makers through market-leading events, digital experiences and innovative growth solutions.

With offices across Bristol, Miami, New York, Little Rock and Kosovo, we operate at the intersection of technology, media, sales and innovation — partnering with global enterprises such as AWS, InterSystems, Google, Intel and IBM - to drive transformation, build pipeline and create real commercial impact.

This is not a traditional sales role. It’s an opportunity to work with emerging technologies, engage directly with C-suite executives and accelerate your career within a fast-paced international business.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Uncapped earning potential with realistic Year 1 OTE of $150K+
• International career opportunities across our global offices
• Work with some of the world’s most innovative technology brands
• Clear progression pathways into senior sales and leadership roles
• High-performance culture with quarterly incentives, prizes and rewards
• Exposure to AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data, digital transformation and emerging tech markets

What You’ll Be Doing

• Identifying and engaging senior decision-makers across global technology markets
• Building new business relationships through strategic outreach, networking and consultative selling
• Working directly with innovative technology vendors and enterprise organisations
• Generating commercial opportunities and contributing to large-scale client campaigns
• Articulating GDS Group’s value proposition with confidence and credibility
• Becoming a trusted commercial partner to clients operating at the forefront of digital transformation

What We’re Looking For

• You’re ambitious, commercially driven, and energised by winning new business.
• Ideal candidates will have:
• 5+ years’ B2B sales or business development experience
• Strong cold outreach and prospecting capability (phone, LinkedIn, email)
• Confidence engaging senior stakeholders and C-level executives
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• A proactive, resilient and target-driven mindset
• Strong organisation and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment
• Most importantly, we’re looking for people with ambition, personality and the hunger to build a successful commercial career.

Why GDS Group?

We’re a globally recognised business trusted by leading brands to create meaningful business connections and transformative commercial experiences.

If you want more than just another sales role — and are looking for a business where you can genuinely accelerate your career and earning potential — we’d love to hear from you.
