Are you someone who genuinely loves the thrill of winning new business, building relationships and opening doors?

We're partnering with a growing creative and digital marketing agency that's looking to bring on its first dedicated Business Development Manager!

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who comes from an agency background, knows how to hunt for new business and is ready to take ownership of a sales function, rather than just contribute to one.

About the business
Our client is a creative and digital marketing agency working with an impressive portfolio of premium and lifestyle brands. The business has experienced strong growth, invested in its people and built an established team that knows how to deliver exceptional work for its clients. With the foundations in place, they're now looking for someone who can take the lead on new business, build a consistent pipeline and help drive the next stage of growth.

The opportunity
This is a genuine new business development role, and one where you'll have the opportunity to make a real impact. Working directly with the Founder, you'll take ownership of proactive business development, from identifying and approaching potential clients through to pitching, negotiating and securing new partnerships.

The good news? You're not starting completely from scratch! The agency already has a strong reputation, inbound enquiries coming through its own marketing, mapped target accounts and an established sales process.

What they're looking for now is someone who can bring the energy, experience and commercial drive to take this to the next level.

What you'll be doing

- Taking ownership of the new business pipeline,



proactively identifying and securing new client opportunities.
- Building relationships with business owners, founders and senior marketing decision makers.
- Driving outbound prospecting through LinkedIn, calls, emails, networking and your own industry connections.
- Leading discovery conversations, pitches and proposals, turning opportunities into long-term client partnerships.
- Working closely with the Founder to shape and refine the agency's new business strategy.
- Managing your pipeline, forecasting opportunities and delivering against agreed revenue targets.
- Collaborating with the internal team to ensure a smooth handover of recent clients.

First and foremost, we're looking for someone who knows agency life, enjoys winning new business and has the confidence to drive the sales process from start to finish.

Ideally, you'll bring:

- Proven business development experience within a creative, digital marketing or advertising agency, which is essential for this role.
- A strong track record of generating your own leads, building pipelines and converting opportunities into new clients.
- Experience selling agency services, ideally through ongoing retainers or long-term partnerships.
- Confidence engaging with business owners, founders and senior marketing stakeholders.
- A proactive,



commercially minded approach, with the motivation to get out there and create opportunities.
- Solid relationship-building skills, alongside the ability to have meaningful commercial conversations.
- An understanding of premium, lifestyle, beauty, fashion or hospitality brands would be a bonus!

Ultimately, we're looking for someone who enjoys the hunt, takes ownership of their results and is excited by the prospect to build something.

What's on offer?

- An opportunity to take full ownership of the agency's new business function.
- Direct access to the Founder, with the ability to influence strategy and growth.
- An established delivery team and strong foundations to support your success.
- A young, ambitious and collaborative team based in Brisbane CBD.
- The opportunity to make a genuine impact in a business entering its next stage of growth.
