NEW BUSINESS DIRECTOR | INDEPENDENT AGENCY | LONDON
I’m working with an exciting independent social/creative/influencer agency that is looking to hire a New Business Director to take ownership of its growth across the UK.
This is a hands-on commercial role for someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and winning new clients, not simply managing an existing pipeline.
What you’ll be doing:
* Own and drive the agency’s new business strategy
* Identify and target new brands and marketing decision makers
* Build relationships with senior clients and open new conversations
* Generate opportunities through outbound, networking, referrals and your existing network
* Lead early-stage conversations and qualify opportunities
* Work closely with strategy, creative and delivery teams to shape strong pitches
* Own opportunities from first conversation through to close
* Help the leadership team identify new sectors, clients and commercial opportunities
What we’re looking for:
* Strong experience in new business within an agency environment
* Ideally 5+ years across creative, social, media, digital, branding or marketing services
* A strong network of UK brand-side contacts
* Proven experience generating your own pipeline and winning new business
* Commercially confident and comfortable speaking with senior stakeholders
* Someone who enjoys the chase and is motivated by winning
* Strategic enough to think beyond individual opportunities, but hands-on enough to make things happen
This would suit someone who wants real ownership of growth, working closely with agency leadership and having a genuine impact on the direction of the business
