  • Someone from an agency who is used to collaborating with internal teams (ADs, Creatives, PMS etc)
  • New role - chance to make and shape the function
  • Service you will be promoting: Creative Production, Digital Experiences, Campus Activations, Social Media Management, Promotion & Student Marketing and Brand Ambassadords

  • Confident in outbound, qualification, and shaping commercial opportunities
  • Able to represent the agency credibly with senior stakeholders

  
  

  
  

  Ready to lead pitches, win high‑value clients, and shape the commercial growth of a fast‑moving agency? This role is built for a senior operator who loves opening doors, running discovery, crafting winning proposals, and setting new client partnerships up for long‑term success.

  
  

  The Role

  You’ll own the front end of growth: identifying the right prospects, leading pitch teams, and converting opportunities into commercially strong partnerships. After a client signs, you’ll act as Executive Sponsor for Year 1 to ensure a smooth, confident transition into delivery.

  This is a hands‑on, strategic commercial role — not a volume‑based sales job.

  
  

  What You’ll Do

  • Build and manage a targeted new‑business pipeline
  • Run qualification calls and prioritise high‑value opportunities
  • Lead discovery, shape proposals, and front pitches
  • Negotiate scope, pricing, and commercial terms
  • Act as Year‑1 Executive Sponsor for new clients
  • Collaborate closely with Strategy, Creative, Ops, Delivery, and Marketing

  
  

  What You Bring

  • Proven success winning new business in creative, employer brand, media, or B2B services
  • Confident pitch leadership and strong commercial instincts
  • Structured, CRM‑driven approach to pipeline and forecasting
  • Ability to influence senior stakeholders and work cross‑functionally
  • Understanding of early talent, employer brand, or recruitment marketing (ideal but not essential)
  • Particularly interested in people from clients such as Alexander Mann, Amberjack, Blackbridge Communications, Manpower Group, MSL Group, Penna, Pink Squid, Forthwall, Radancy, SMRS, Thirty Three... or similar

  
  

  Why This Role

  You’ll shape the agency’s growth engine, lead high‑impact pitches, and work with a collaborative senior team who value structure, clarity, and commercial excellence. If you love turning opportunities into long‑term partnerships, this is your stage.
