• Working closely with the leadership and creative teams to convert opportunities into long-term partnerships
• Managing the full business development cycle from first contact through to agreement

About You

This role requires a very specific type of individual. You will be:

• Sophisticated, confident, and exceptionally well presented
• Comfortable mixing with high-net-worth individuals and respected industry figures
• Naturally charismatic with the ability to build rapport quickly
• Commercially minded, financially motivated, and hungry for success
• Flexible with your time and happy to drop everything to attend last-minute events
• Driven by strong personal values and a clear moral compass
• Experienced in business development, sales, or relationship-led roles within a creative, property, or professional services environment

What’s on Offer

• To join a truly friendly agency with lots of values that are all about relationships with colleagues.
• Hybrid working model based in London
• The chance to represent a truly outstanding creative agency and join in on many socials and fun outings.
• A role with autonomy, influence, and long-term progression
