Business Development Associate

Business Development Associate

We are recruiting a Business Development Associate on behalf of a high-profile, boutique luxury travel company based in Los Angeles. Built on an exceptional reputation and an elite client roster, this company has grown almost entirely through word of mouth — and now they are ready to grow intentionally. This is a rare opportunity to sell something people genuinely love buying.

The Opportunity

You will identify and win new business within the mid-market entertainment sector — think production companies, talent agencies, management firms, and entertainment-adjacent businesses in the 25-100 employee range. Once you close, the internal team takes over all account management. Your job is to open doors and bring clients in.

What You'll Do

• Prospect and generate your own leads within the entertainment industry
• Build relationships with decision-makers at mid-size entertainment companies booking corporate and talent travel
• Pitch and close new accounts for luxury travel services
• Collaborate with the internal team on handoff once business is won

What You Bring

• A natural networker with an existing footprint in entertainment, media, or adjacent industries
• Proven track record of hunting and closing new business — not just managing existing accounts
• Self-directed and comfortable working independently without a structured pipeline handed to you
• Polished, credible, and at ease in high-end client environments
• Understanding of the luxury market and the expectations that come with it

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in luxury travel, hospitality, or entertainment services
• Existing relationships with mid-size entertainment companies or talent-adjacent businesses
• Experience as an independent sales contractor or consultant
