Our group is one of the largest independent marketing groups in the UK and includes agencies across brand, creative, media, web development, social, research, SEO and more, working with clients like Hisense, Warner Bros, Pizza Express and Kellogg’s. 

Between us, we deliver what’s needed to help clients win. Our model allows us to act like a boutique agency around each specialism, with bespoke teams and systems, but with the same backing and leading tools as any big network. 

We’re driven by a mantra to out-think, out-smart and out-shine other agencies, with a relentless energy to ensure the very best is delivered. 

We are seeking a highly driven Head of Growth to spearhead opportunity generation for our specialist agencies. You’ll play a pivotal role in driving business development efforts, whether through your personal outreach, strategic partnerships, or collaboration with the broader sales and marketing initiatives.

You will own the entire prospect journey—from the initial introduction, through nurturing relationships, to handing over fully qualified opportunities to our agency teams with a well-crafted sales strategy.

To excel in this role, a robust background in business development is essential. You’ll be responsible for cultivating relationships with potential leads from a variety of sources, often over extended periods.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own the early stages of the sales process: Focus on the identification, profiling, and engagement of prospects.
• Strategic outreach: Leverage our brand assets, case studies, and expertise to craft tailored communications across multiple channels.
• Lead nurturing: Facilitate introductory meetings, build rapport, and nurture leads with relevant insights.
• Value-driven engagement: Use thought leadership and deep industry knowledge to add value during prospect interactions.
• Opportunity qualification: Identify, qualify, and seamlessly transition opportunities to agency teams with a completed sales strategy for pitch execution.
• Industry representation: Attend and represent the group at key external events and networking opportunities.
• Pipeline management: Lead regular pipeline reviews with agency teams, ensuring progress and alignment.
• Collaborative content development: Partner with agency teams to ensure we have the necessary outreach collateral and materials.
• Sales process optimisation: Continuously seek improvements in our sales processes and analyse performance metrics to drive growth.

This role offers significant autonomy, allowing you to shape the sales and marketing function from day one, with the potential to make an immediate impact.
