About the Role
We are looking for a proactive and relationship-driven Business Developer to help expand Envar Studio’s client base and build strong, lasting partnerships within the gaming industry.
This role is focused on long-term growth. We are looking for someone who is not only excited to drive new business opportunities, but also interested in growing with the studio over time and becoming a stable, trusted part of Envar’s journey.
You will take ownership of identifying opportunities, opening doors, developing tailored pitches, and representing Envar externally across the industry. You will work closely with leadership and production teams to ensure a smooth transition from sales to delivery, while helping create a strong and professional client experience throughout the full partnership lifecycle.
A big part of the role also happens outside meeting rooms, from conferences and networking events to the more informal side of the industry, like social gatherings and after parties, where some of the best connections tend to happen.
This role is a strong fit for someone who understands the game development landscape, brings a solid industry network or the ability to build one quickly, and can balance relationship-building with structure, follow-through, and high-quality execution.
Responsibilities
Identify, approach, and develop new client opportunities through a range of outbound business development channels
Conduct market research and competitor analysis to inform outreach strategy and prepare tailored proposals
Build, maintain, and grow strong relationships with prospective and existing clients by understanding their needs, goals, and challenges
Represent Envar at industry events, studio visits, business meetings, and conferences both virtually and in person, as well as the more informal side of the industry, including networking mixers and after parties where relationships often continue to grow
Prepare project estimates, sales materials, and pitches aligned with Envar’s service offering and cost structure
Maintain a clean, accurate, and up-to-date sales pipeline within the CRM system
Work closely with production teams to ensure timely, efficient, and well-documented handovers
Adapt to established workflows while maintaining clear communication across all relevant internal and external stakeholders
Act as a consistent and professional representative of Envar’s brand, values, and quality standards in all client-facing interactions
Qualifications
Minimum 2 years of experience working in a Business Developer role within the video game industry
Good understanding of the art production pipeline for video games
Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to professionally represent Envar’s brand and values
Strong research, planning, and organizational skills, with the ability to work independently and maintain a high standard of execution
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
An existing network in the games industry, or clear ability to build and develop one effectively
Availability and readiness to travel internationally for industry events and meetings when needed, sometimes on short notice
Willingness to occasionally work outside standard hours and balance this with flex time
Interest in a long-term collaboration, with the intention to commit and grow alongside the studio
Bonus Points
Experience within the AA and/or AAA games market
Previous experience attending, networking at, or representing a studio at game industry events
Professional working proficiency in languages other than English
Openness to the possibility of relocation in the future, depending on role and business needs
A genuine passion for games and the game development industry
Why Join Envar?
