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.

- 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
- Weekly wellness classes and a vibrant New York environment
- Prime New York location — 5 minutes from World Trade Centre
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

- 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.

- 4+ 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
