New Business & Marketing Manager; Agency

RP3 is an independent creative agency built to make work that breaks through and performs. Born under pressure and shaped by real‑world accountability, we believe wildly original ideas aren’t decoration—they’re how brands grow. We partner with ambitious organizations across financial services, travel & hospitality, higher education, nonprofits, and others to turn clarity, creativity, and performance into real business momentum. There’s no ROI in boring.

We’re looking for a New Business & Marketing Manager who is equal parts strategist, organizer, and instigator. This role sits at the center of how RP3 grows—connecting outreach, relationships, content, and opportunity into a disciplined, modern growth engine. You’ll own the systems, rhythms, and storytelling that power our new business and marketing efforts—bringing sales and marketing together into one connected growth system and helping shape how RP3 shows up in the market.

• Collaborate with creative, strategy, and leadership teams to translate agency thinking into compelling external storytelling
• Support awards submissions, agency listings, and reputation‑building initiatives

• Manage cross‑functional teams—including leadership, strategists, creatives, freelancers, and vendors—to deliver high‑quality work on time
• Help manage the new business and marketing budget

• Own CRM (Active Campaign) as the central system of record for all new business and marketing outreach
