Part of the broader Wingman Group, Wingman Creative is building a more sophisticated agency offering, bringing together creative, digital, strategy and marketing expertise with a flexible delivery model that spans onshore and offshore teams.With investment in senior talent, stronger agency infrastructure and an expanding service offering, the foundations are being put in place for the next stage of growth. Now we need someone to get out there and win the business.The Opportunity.
Working closely with the General Manager, you'll take ownership of new business development for Wingman Creative, building relationships, opening doors, leading pitches and converting opportunities into commercially sound, long-term client partnerships.This is a significant appointment for the agency. You'll work alongside the GM and Head of Client Services as part of a senior leadership trio responsible for driving growth and building a successful, profitable business.
There's a huge opportunity to make your mark here. You'll have the backing of an established group, access to an experienced creative and marketing team, and a compelling proposition to take to market. But you'll also have the freedom to develop your own networks, identify opportunities and influence how the agency approaches new business. We're looking for someone who enjoys being out in the market, meeting people, building connections and creating opportunities where they don't already exist.
What You'll Be Doing
- Building and managing a proactive new business pipeline, identifying and pursuing opportunities across mid-market, scale-up and enterprise clients.
- Leading discovery meetings, developing strategic proposals and delivering compelling pitches to senior marketing and business leaders.
- Representing Wingman Creative at industry events, networking functions, presentations and roadshows.
- Developing relationships and partnerships across the property, real estate and broking sectors, while identifying opportunities in other industries.
- Working with the GM and internal specialists to develop commercially competitive proposals, agency rate cards, scopes of work and service agreements.
- Taking ownership of the commercial front end of new business, ensuring pricing, deliverables, resourcing and margins are properly considered before contracts are signed.
- Collaborating with the broader Wingman Group's growth and marketing teams to strengthen market presence and generate opportunities.
- Helping shape the agency's growth strategy, sales processes and approach to winning larger, more complex accounts.
Who We're Looking For
You're commercially sharp, confident in front of clients and genuinely motivated by winning new business. You understand how agencies work, how pitches come together, how services are scoped and priced, and what it takes to turn a promising opportunity into a profitable client relationship. You might currently be a New Business Director, Growth Manager, Business Development Manager or Head of Growth within a creative, digital, media or integrated marketing agency.
Alternatively, you may have built your career in agency account leadership or strategic partnerships, with strong exposure to pitching, commercial negotiations and new business, and you're ready to make growth your primary focus. We're also interested in people from marketing technology, media and advertising platforms such as TikTok, Meta, Canva or Salesforce, particularly those with previous agency experience and a strong understanding of how marketing services are sold.
What matters most is that you bring:
- A strong understanding of the marketing and advertising agency landscape.
- A proactive, commercially driven approach to business development, with the confidence to create your own opportunities.
- Experience developing or contributing to agency pitches, proposals and new business presentations.
- An understanding of agency commercials, including rate cards, scoping, resourcing, pricing and profitability.
- The ability to engage senior stakeholders, ask the right questions and confidently negotiate expectations.
- Robust presentation skills and the confidence to represent the agency in a room full of decision-makers.
- The energy, initiative and ambition to help build something, rather than simply inherit an established portfolio.
Experience working with larger brands, complex agency briefs or enterprise-level clients would be highly regarded, as would exposure to property, real estate or financial services.
Why Wingman Creative?
