We re working with a forward-thinking digital agency on the lookout for a Business Development Manager, someone who can own and evolve their business development strategy, drive new opportunities, and become a key part of the agency s next chapter.

This is not your typical sales role. As Business Development Manager, you ll be responsible for shaping how the agency grows - from targeting the right brands and opening conversations, to closing high-quality opportunities and influencing long-term commercial direction.

  • Shape the agency s business development and client growth strategy as their first dedicated commercial lead
  • Drive client acquisition across performance marketing, web development, and eCommerce
  • Collaborate with senior leadership in a values-led, innovative environment

  • Leading outreach strategies across email, events, LinkedIn, and phone
  • Generating and qualifying your own leads
  • Supporting the teams with successful conversion of incoming leads and referrals
  • Targeting prospects aligned to the agency s ideal client profile
  • Representing the agency at key events and networking opportunities
  • Working with directors and heads of department to refine the sales proposition
  • Use AI-powered tools to support lead generation, optimise outreach, and streamline your sales process
  • Supporting onboarding and ensuring a smooth client handover to delivery teams

    • Does this sound like you?

  • Proven track record in business development or client acquisition within an agency setting
  • Ideally, experience in performance marketing, digital services, or eCommerce markets
  • Confidence managing the full sales cycle - from prospecting through to close
  • Strong commercial instinct and ability to spot and shape new opportunities
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills - written, verbal, and visual
  • Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders - from founder-led SMEs to Heads of Marketing at global brands
  • Driven and motivated to push yourself and grow in a thriving environment

    • What s in it for you?

  • 45,000 £60,000 base salary + uncapped performance bonus
  • Clear path to develop the commercial function and progress into a senior role
  • Hybrid working - typically 2 days in-office, the rest flexible
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with buy / sell options)
  • Birthday off, volunteering day, discounted gym, flexible hours
  • Dedicated training budget and regular Lunch & Learns
  • A culture that values ownership, celebrates wins, and encourages innovation
