Business Development Manager

Job description

Are you able to tenaciously close deals in record time?

Do you have experience selling solutions in the agency, digital media, or marketing space?

Can you track dozens of personal to-do items to ensure they get completed?

Are you equally as comfortable writing a compelling email as persuading a lead over the phone?

Want to help facilitate deals with some of the world's biggest brands?

If the dynamic sales executive we've just described sounds eerily familiar, then we might have the perfect role for you.

Some things to know about us:

First, we're not like every other agency. We believe in the power of data. We embrace new tools and technology. We swoon over an elegant process or system. We love structured creativity. If it ain't broke, optimize it. As a result, we're growing faster than pretty much any other agency around.

Second, we work a little differently. In 48 marketing disciplines across 6 functional groups, we're redefining what a full-service marketing agency can be. Our sales group is one of the industry's best and our unique strategic approach helped make us famous. Even more impressive, we respond to hundreds of sales inquiries per month - doing so with a global footprint in 20+ countries.

Does any of this get you fired up? Are you ready to join the world's fastest-growing marketing agency? Wondering if this might just be the best professional experience of your career?
