We are seeking an Event & Conference Business Development Contractor to represent BluShark at selected events throughout the year. Our Approach to Business Development: BluShark’s business development approach is consultative, relationship-driven, and reputation-conscious. We are not looking for someone to create artificial conversations, force appointments, or push prospects into meetings that do not make sense. This role is about identifying businesses that may genuinely benefit from BluShark’s services, starting thoughtful conversations, understanding their goals and challenges, and helping determine whether a deeper consultation would be valuable.

The goal is not simply to “book meetings.” The goal is to create qualified, meaningful opportunities where BluShark can provide insight, guidance, and potential value.

Position Overview: The Event & Conference Business Development Contractor will support BluShark’s in-person business development efforts at conferences, trade shows, networking events, and industry gatherings. This contractor will help create conversations, capture leads, qualify interest, and support appointment-setting efforts during and after events. This is a contractor role, not a full-time employee position. Work will be a
