Strategic New Business Lead
We’re partnering with a well-established creative and marketing agency that delivers high-volume, integrated campaigns for some of Australia’s most recognisable consumer brands.
With all capabilities in-house — including strategy, creative, PR, digital, production, and martech — they operate at the scale and speed needed to support major retail and FMCG brands. Their ability to execute complex campaigns end-to-end makes them a trusted partner to clients who expect more than just creative ideas — they expect delivery.
They’re now hiring a Strategic New Business Lead to take ownership of commercial growth. This is a senior, strategic sales role focused on identifying new revenue opportunities, converting high-value accounts, and driving long-term, retainer-based engagements. You’ll lead from the front — opening doors, shaping proposals, and bringing in work that aligns with the agency’s core strengths.
If you're commercially driven, confident engaging senior marketing stakeholders, and ready to build something meaningful — this could be your next big move.
The Role
As the Strategic New Business Lead, you’ll own the agency’s new business pipeline — identifying, pursuing, and converting opportunities with Tier 2 and Tier 3 brands across retail, FMCG and ecommerce.
You’ll work closely with internal delivery teams across creative, content, digital and production — but your focus is squarely on growth: driving revenue, shaping commercial strategy, and building new long-term client relationships.
Key Responsibilities
Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of new business opportunities
Lead outreach, qualification, and conversion of mid-to-large brand prospects
Own the end-to-end pitch process — from initial contact to proposal and close
Shape solutions that span creative, content, digital, PR and production
Contribute to commercial strategy and help define the agency’s growth roadmap
This Role Is for You If:
You’re a commercially-minded operator with a track record in strategic sales or agency growth
You’ve worked in or with creative/digital/production agencies and understand the full marketing mix
You know how to lead senior conversations, qualify opportunities, and build trust with decision-makers
You’re excited to take the lead on growth — not manage existing accounts
What Success Looks Like
Securing new long-term client relationships across key sectors
Delivering measurable revenue growth within the first 6–12 months
Driving a consistent pipeline of qualified opportunities
Establishing yourself as a key commercial voice in the agency
About You
Strong experience in agency growth, new business, or commercial strategy roles
Familiar with the structure and sale of integrated marketing services
Proven success engaging senior marketing stakeholders (e.g. CMOs, Brand Directors)
Confident, persuasive, and self-directed
Comfortable using tools like Pipedrive and Sales Navigator
Benefits
Uncapped Commission: Strong base + performance-linked structure
Established Agency: Full-service, in-house model with strong delivery reputation
Strategic Focus: You own growth — not account management
High-Calibre Clients: Work with some of the most recognisable consumer brands in Australia
