Our client is a dynamic intermediary between global brands and the UK's top marketing and advertising agencies, forging enduring and equitable relationships. They stand out in a crowded marketplace through their innovative approach, appetite for positive change, and unique offering. They are looking for a Head of Business Development to define their commercial strategy and deepen their partnerships with agencies.


About the role

You will be joining a company that aims to set a progressive industry agenda and is becoming an increasingly provocative, disruptive, and modernising voice.

  • This is a key strategic growth role where you will refine their approach, open new doors, and help more brands and agencies benefit from what they offer.

  • You will be representing a service that includes pitch consultancy and a powerful marketing intelligence platform.

  • You will manage one direct report, with the opportunity to shape and build a small team as the function grows.


What You'll Lead🎯

This role combines strategy and hands-on relationship building. You will:

  • Define and execute new business strategy for the business.

  • Build and manage a strong, transparent pipeline that reflects both short and long-term opportunities.

  • Evolve the way they nurture and convert leads, making the process more personal, intentional, and scalable.

  • Partner with the senior team to leverage networks and shape their broader commercial direction.

  • Own HubSpot usage and reporting, ensuring clarity and alignment across the business.

  • Deliver against clear individual and team commercial targets.


What You'll Bring🧠

  • Experience: 4+ years in business development or commercial growth roles within the creative, marketing, or agency ecosystem.

  • Someone who genuinely understands how agencies win work, grow clients, and differentiate themselves.

  • Confident in developing strategy, spotting opportunities, and navigating senior conversations.

  • Comfortable building long-term commercial relationships built on trust.

  • A clear communicator who can listen deeply and articulate value simply.
