Business Development Specialist

Business Development Manager | Digital Media & Marketing | London – £50,000

I’m currently working on an exciting opportunity with a global digital media and marketing agency that is growing its UK and European New Business function.

This is a great opportunity for someone with 3-5 years’ experience who enjoys New Business, pitches and client development, but doesn’t want a traditional, target-heavy sales role.

The Role

Working closely with the MD and senior leadership team, you’ll play a key role in supporting new client acquisition across the UK and Europe.

The role will involve:

• Managing and developing the UK and European sales pipeline
• Supporting senior stakeholders across new business opportunities
• Researching prospective clients and coordinating outreach
• Joining prospect meetings and managing follow-ups
• Identifying and managing RFI and RFP opportunities
• Coordinating pitch processes from start to finish
• Supporting pitch decks, proposals and client-facing materials
• Working with internal teams to ensure pitches are commercially viable and delivered on time
• Creating tailored sales collateral and working with Marketing on external content
• Building relationships with intermediaries and media consultants

What They’re Looking For

• 3-5 years’ experience within a digital media, marketing or agency environment
• Exposure to New Business, Growth, pitches, RFPs or client development
• A good understanding of the digital media ecosystem
• Strong written and communication skills
• Experience producing client-facing decks and proposals
• Excellent organisation and project management skills
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders

Agency or holding company experience would be particularly relevant.
