Head of Business Development

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Head of Business Development to help shape the next chapter of RP3 – someone who knows how to open the right doors, build meaningful relationships, and turn early momentum into lasting partnerships.

Why It Might Be a Fit

You’ll partner with leadership to identify opportunities, shape offerings, and bring new ideas to market in a way that’s both creatively strong and commercially viable. You’ll have a strong creative and strategy bench to develop ideas that win, a dedicated marketing/BD manager to support execution across content, outreach, and operations, and a developing marketing roadmap spanning thought leadership, events, website evolution, case studies, and award submissions.
