Enjoy opening doors, building senior relationships and turning commercial conversations into lasting partnerships?

An established marketing agency is looking for a Strategic Growth Partner to help win its next generation of clients. With a growing focus on consultancy, strategy, brand, creative and AI, the agency is looking for someone who can understand a business’s ambitions and demonstrate how the right expertise can help achieve them.

You’ll have real ownership of new business, the opportunity to build the agency’s presence in London and support from experienced specialists to shape compelling proposals.

The opportunity

This is a senior new-business role focused on winning valuable, long-term client relationships. You’ll connect with organisations that welcome strategic advice, invest in growth and want to measure marketing against meaningful business outcomes.

Working with the Head of Growth, Client Services and specialist teams, you’ll take opportunities from the first conversation through to signed agreement. Your focus will be on quality, commercial fit and profitability, with retained partnerships typically worth £5,000 or more per month.

What you’ll be doing

• Building and developing a targeted pipeline of prospects, particularly in London.
• Generating opportunities through networking, referrals, events, targeted outreach and inbound enquiries.
• Converting introductions from an outbound partner into qualified opportunities.
• Meeting senior decision-makers, understanding their commercial challenges and shaping suitable solutions.
• Leading pitches and proposals with Client Services and specialist colleagues.
• Negotiating pricing and terms that deliver value for clients and protect agency margins.
• Developing relationships through industry events, agency-hosted gatherings and a credible LinkedIn presence.
• Building a referral programme across clients, colleagues and partners.
• Supporting a clear handover and successful start for every new client.
• Maintaining accurate CRM records, forecasts and pipeline reporting.

You’ll also take on wider pipeline ownership during the Head of Growth’s maternity leave.

About you

You’ll bring a proven record of personally winning significant new business within a marketing, digital, brand, creative or consultancy environment.

You’ll also have:

• Experience selling retained partnerships and substantial projects.

• Strong commercial judgement around pricing, scope, margins and delivery capacity.
• The ability to explore a business problem and recommend an appropriate approach.
• Credibility discussing strategy, brand, creative, digital marketing and AI.
• Strong presentation, negotiation and closing skills.
• A disciplined approach to managing opportunities and following through.

An established network of senior decision-makers, particularly within professional services, would be valuable.

You’ll enjoy opening doors and asking for the business, while recognising when an opportunity is the wrong fit. You’ll work closely with delivery colleagues and take responsibility for building a reliable pipeline.

What’s on offer

• £55,000–£75,000 per year, including commission.
• Flexible hours around core working times and up to 10 Work From Anywhere days a year.
• 25 days’ annual leave, rising to 30 with service, plus family and compassionate leave.
