Role Overview

Driven by surging demand for immersive and volumetric content, as well as new perspectives that can unlockcreative storytelling, Muybridge is commercialising a genuinely novel technology platform across sports broadcast, premium studio production, and live entertainment. This comes at a defining moment for the broadcast industry: after decades of relative stability, the convergence of GPU computing, computer vision, and autonomous production is fundamentally reshaping how content is captured, produced, and distributed. The buyers, workflows, and value chains that defined the last generation are being rewritten and Muybridge is at the centre of that shift. This is a rare opportunity to be first in - building a territory, owning a pipeline, and closing landmark deals that define a category.

The Director of Business Development - US will be the primary commercial presence across the region. Operating from a home office, you will represent Muybridge independently across a complex, multi-stakeholder value chain: leagues, clubs, venues, broadcasters, production service companies, studio operators, and live event producers. You will carry an annual revenue quota and be expected to over-deliver on it.

Success in this role requires working on two levels simultaneously: managing and developing channel partnerships - the service companies, systems integrators, and broadcast partners through whom deals are often structured and delivered, while also creating demand and building conviction at the top of the value chain with rights holders, leagues, federations, and executive decision-makers. You will be expected to be present at key live deployments, acting as the commercial face of Muybridge on-site, strengthening partner and client relationships in the field, and supporting the deployment team when needed.

This is a senior, self-sufficient role - one for someone equally comfortable in a boardroom and a broadcast truck. You will carry technical conversations with prospects, supported remotely by our technical team, and close enterprise-level deals that often span multiple decision-makers and long sales cycles.You report directly to the CCO and collaborate closely with your East Coast counterpart to ensure cohesive national coverage.
