You will lead high-value new business and sales conversations, develop innovative revenue streams, and strengthen our position as a trusted, consultative partner to leading brands and platforms. We work with some of the largest advertisers and brands in the region, and want to continue our trajectory in this regard to become the creator marketing partner of choice for the world’s leading brands. You’ll lead the charge into market and take ownership of our sales execution; identifying, shaping and winning high value opportunities that grow our presence with the world’s leading brands. You’ll collaborate cross functionally with Marketing, Client Services, Creative Strategy, Production and Measurement to craft bold, insight-led proposals that open new doors and deliver measurable outcomes. As one of the founding members of the new Growth function, you’ll play a defining role in shaping how Influencer approaches sales and commercial/revenue growth for years to come.

Job Responsibility:

  • Responsible for revenue growth, sales and closing new business - initially for the broader business, and later, with vertical specialism
  • Lead new business opportunities from first conversation to signed deal - including RFP responses, proactive outreach and strategic pitch development
  • Drive proactive outbound strategy - mapping white space, identifying target sectors, and creating tailored approaches for key decision makers
  • Conduct market and competitor research to uncover new categories, emerging trends and whitespace opportunities for Influencer to lead in
  • Build and maintain a strong personal network across brands, agencies and platforms - attending industry events, client dinners and entertainment opportunities to deepen relationships and position Influencer front of mind
  • Balance strategic relationship-building with relentless pursuit of new business - moving fluidly between hunting and farming to create sustainable revenue growth
  • Work collaboratively with Client Services, Creative Strategy, Production and Measurement teams to deliver compelling, insight-led proposals that meet client goals
  • Partner closely with Marketing to support thought leadership and outbound campaigns that drive new business
  • Develop and maintain a clear understanding of the influencer and creator landscape - platforms, tools, and evolving media behaviours
  • Represent the Growth function as a trusted voice across internal teams, helping to build commercial fluency across the business

Requirements:

  • Proven experience in consultative sales, business development or client leadership within a creative agency, influencer marketing agency or platform ecosystem
  • A strong understanding of how creative, strategy, and production intersect to deliver full-funnel marketing outcomes
  • Demonstrable success in leading complex pitches, managing RFPs and closing seven-figure deals
  • Commercial acumen with the ability to translate client challenges into actionable creative and strategic solutions
  • Excellent communication skills with confidence presenting to senior clients and internal stakeholders alike
  • Highly organised and proactive - able to balance multiple priorities and work collaboratively across teams
  • A passion for the creator economy, the future of media and building brands through creativity and influence
What we offer:
  • Private Healthcare through Vitality
  • Wellbeing support through Vitality including EAP & Mental Health cover
  • 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays which can be flexed to your needs)
