Business Development Manager — Marketing Solutions

About the Role

• We're looking for a sharp, driven Business Development Manager to grow our client portfolio. This is a hunting role — you'll own the full sales cycle from prospecting to closure, working closely with the core team to bring in the right clients. If you've thrived in an agency environment, love the thrill of a well-crafted pitch, and understand the nuance of B2B buying decisions, we want to talk.

Job Description

• Identify, prospect, and convert new business opportunities across our service lines.
• Own the end-to-end sales cycle — outreach, discovery, proposal, pitch, and closure.
• Build and nurture relationships with senior marketing and HR decision-makers.
• Collaborate with internal teams to develop compelling proposals and presentations.
• Maintain a healthy, well-qualified pipeline and report on it with clarity.
• Represent the firm at industry events, conferences, and networking forums.
• Spot expansion opportunities within existing client relationships.

Educational Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, Business, Technology or a related field.
• MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification is a plus.

Experience

• 7-10 years of experience in business development or client acquisition, preferably at a marketing, communications, or creative agency
• Proven track record of independently closing deals, not just supporting pitches
• Experience with employer branding, events, or performance marketing is a plus

Skills

• Strong understanding of B2B marketing — you know how B2B brands think, buy, and measure
• Excellent communication and storytelling skills — written and verbal
• Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and navigating complex buying processes
• Self-starter who thrives without a large support structure around them
