Job description

Our client is a digital-first creative agency specialising in branding, design, and advertising, with an enviable client roster built over the past 15 years. Their portfolio includes standout names like Pukka Teas, Superdrug, and Macmillan.

You'll work closely with the Founder to drive a new business strategy, build a pipeline, and take ownership of agency growth. In addition to proactive outreach, you'll manage inbound leads and oversee their social outreach strategy.

We’re keen to hear from passionate, proactive, and hands-on business developers with experience in a creative agency environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced setting, is eager to roll up their sleeves, and has a real passion for business growth. You’ll play a key role in the agency, collaborating with the wider team and learning every day.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Strategy: Stay on top of industry trends, competitor activity, and market insights to shape the sales strategy and identify new opportunities.

  • Creative Team: Collaborate with creatives to understand the service offering and communicate the value proposition effectively to potential clients.

  • Social & Outreach: Manage and enhance LinkedIn activity and social outreach to drive engagement and attract new business.

  • Business Development: Run outbound email campaigns, connect with potential clients, and build long-term relationships to grow the client base.

Key strengths we’re looking for:

  • A self-starter with a proactive approach to sales and BD

  • Strong communicator who builds genuine client relationships

  • Highly organised with experience using CRM and managing pipelines

  • Good understanding of branding, design, and advertising

  • Confident in outbound email campaigns and leveraging social platforms

  • Results-driven and passionate about agency growth

The agency has a fantastic culture — a sociable, collaborative team with a strong learning ethos. You’ll be financially rewarded for your efforts with an uncapped commission structure offering serious earning potential.

The role is hybrid, with 4 days in their beautiful Farringdon studio (complete with a roof terrace) and 1 day from home. There’s an early Friday finish and plenty of opportunities for career progression.

To apply, send your CV to: lucys@profilescreative.com.
