The Role

This is a new business growth role.

You will drive enterprise revenue, secure high-value partnerships, and strengthen our client’s position as a category leader in influencer marketing.

While the title is flexible, this is effectively an Agency New Business Lead profile — someone who thrives on building pipeline, opening doors, and converting opportunity into long-term commercial partnerships.

Core Responsibilities;
New Business Growth (Primary Focus)

• Proactively targeting and securing blue-chip and enterprise brands
• Building and owning a structured outbound engine (LinkedIn, email, events, networking)
• Leading discovery sessions, briefings, and pitch presentations
• Owning the full sales cycle from first conversation through to conversion
• Generating new relationships through industry events and roundtables
• Converting inbound interest through strong qualification and follow-through

Expanding Existing Partnerships

• Identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities within current accounts
• Evolving one-off campaigns into long-term strategic partnerships
• Maintaining senior stakeholder visibility to protect and grow revenue
• Ideate strategies to drive new business opportunities where a client has a multi-brand portfolio

Process & Collaboration

• Maintaining strong CRM discipline and pipeline hygiene
• Ensuring seamless sales-to-account handovers
• Working closely with marketing to align positioning, content, and events with growth strategy
• Supporting development of best practice, tools, and reporting frameworks

Who This Role Is For

A commercially sharp operator with a genuine hunter mentality.

You will likely come from a media, digital, PR, social, or influencer agency environment. Influencer experience is helpful but not essential — the critical factor is your ability to build and convert senior-level relationships.

You bring:

• A strong growth mindset and ownership mentality
• A credible network (“black book”) of brand and/or agency contacts
• Confidence leading enterprise-level commercial conversations
• Experience owning the full new business lifecycle
• Structured pipeline management and CRM discipline
• The ability to turn complex ideas into compelling commercial propositions
• You are proactive, calm under pressure, structured in approach, and commercially driven.

What This Role Is Not

• Surface-level enthusiasm without delivery
• Big energy without process
• Creative flair without conversion
• Style over substance

This is a revenue-owning, relationship‑building role with real accountability.
