Growth Manager

Joining the six-person growth team inside an independent brand studio working across media, entertainment, sport and technology – this is a studio whose work reaches, on average, around two billion people. It’s a rare thing: a structured growth function at this scale inside an independent, with a proven route from hunting into proposals and beyond.

The Role
You are the front end of the growth engine – the first point of contact who opens doors that the studio’s existing network can’t reach. Your focus will be on booking qualified prospect meetings across the UK, US and European markets.

You’ll identify and qualify inbound leads, manage engagement with C-suite stakeholders, and build the relationships that convert into proposals. You’ll build customised pitches in InDesign, Keynote and Figma, own diary management, and hand over cleanly to the production team at onboarding.

The interesting part is where the pipeline is pointing. The studio is deliberately widening beyond its media and entertainment heartland into theatre, AI, crypto and healthcare – new sectors you’ll help open, with autonomy to bring your own prospect strategies and contacts.

The Person
You’re three to four years into a new-business career, likely from a specialist lead-generation agency or a comparable new-business seat inside a creative agency. 

Your day job is hunting: cold outreach, being the first contact, booking meetings at volume. You can talk in numbers: meetings booked, revenue influenced. You’re comfortable hitting targets, and you’re genuinely interested in the creative industry. You’re at the hunting stage and ready to grow from it.
