What We're Looking For:

Experience:

- 8 - 12 years across business development, client acquisition, agency sales, marketing consulting, or growth-focused roles.

- Demonstrated success generating qualified pipeline and closing service-based B2B business - must be able to show numbers.

- Agency or marketing consultancy background strongly preferred - you understand how to sell marketing as a managed service.

- Exposure to early-stage or build-from-scratch environments (startup, new business unit, practice launch) is a significant plus.

Marketing Knowledge:

- Solid grasp of B2B marketing fundamentals: demand generation, content marketing, digital marketing (SEO, paid, email), campaign operations, and marketing analytics.

- Ability to speak credibly with CMOs and marketing leaders about their stack, their funnel, and their growth challenges.

- Familiarity with modern B2B marketing tools and platforms - not as a practitioner, but as a consultant who can diagnose and prescribe.

AI & Tech Fluency:

- Daily use of AI tools for research, personalization, copywriting, and productivity - this is non-negotiable.

- Hands-on experience with prospecting and sales engagement tools: Apollo, Clay, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Instantly, Outreach, or equivalents.

- Experience with CRM platforms: HubSpot or Salesforce (setup, pipeline management, reporting).

- Comfort with no-code/low-code tools and a willingness to learn new platforms quickly.

The Person:

- Commercially driven - you think in revenue, not just activity metrics.

- Highly proactive - you don't wait to be told what to do next.

- Excellent communicator - written, verbal, and in presentations to senior stakeholders.

- Comfortable with ambiguity - in an early-stage practice, the playbook is being written in real time.

- Entrepreneurial mindset - you treat this like your business, not a job.

- Resilient - startup-style challenges (resource gaps, shifting priorities, slow early traction) don't deter you.
