The speed read:
A design and communications agency give you the space to network your black book like crazy. 
 
The facts:
You are at a stage in your career where you know the creative agency industry very well and truly love it. You want to be somewhere grown up and considered, where you have the space to do some great work and contribute to the agency as a whole.
 
You offer sound thinking and get a lot out of the early conversations. You have learnt to be very organised and have developed a great nose for spotting potential and keeping doors open all around you.  
 
You know you have a good team behind you – they are ready to pick up a challenge and deliver a solution that leads to longstanding client relationships. The solutions are communications and messaging across all channels, whether that’s a website, a brand, a campaign, or anything else. There’s strong creative backing you up all the way. 
 
Thanks to its quality thinking, this agency has a healthy pitch to win ratio, so you can be confident that all the teeing up you are doing (conversations, coffees, lunches, early responses, qualifying calls) are set up for a win.
 
The agency’s clients are in every sector, and you are genuinely interested in the challenges they face. You will lead the charge and want this responsibility. This may be a step up for you, but you are ready for it. 
 
 
You’ll be:

• Great at upwardly managing.
• Able to juggle multiple projects at once. 
• Driven and ambitious for yourself and the agency.
• Personable, eloquent, and confident.
• Someone who likes generating strong pipelines. 
• Happy to be highly visible and accountable for the conservations that you’re having. 
• Genuinely interested in business and the creative sector. 

 
You’ll have:

• 5+ years’ experience in the creative industry, perhaps in client services, management, or strategy. Either way, you love the thrill of chasing new leads.
• Interesting stories to tell from your Business Development career to date.
• Marketing awareness and the ability to identify new business opportunities.
• The processes nailed (Pipedrive/Hubspot).
• An innate ability to listen to a client and uncover a challenge or opportunity.
