Job Description & How to Apply Below

THE ROLE:

We're hiring a new business growth leader. This is a diagnostician who closes — someone who earns trusted-advisor standing with senior buyers, spots the commercial opportunity others walk past, and then personally carries the deal to signature. You'll own new business growth end to end — you find it, shape it, and close it — and you'll do it with an AI-savvy team and deep industry strategists at your side.

WHAT

YOU'LL DO:
  • Build your own pipeline. Identify, open, and qualify net-new accounts. Our ABM programs, thought leadership, and events amplify your reach — the hunting instinct is yours.
  • Lead the
    engagement. Run discovery with executives, frame the client conversation, and write the commercial core of every proposal and statement of work.
  • Assemble the pursuit team. Bring our industry strategists and account leads into each deal at the right moment, and lead that team through the close.
  • Land every account well. Stay accountable through delivery, then hand a healthy, stable relationship to our long-term account teams.
  • Run a transparent pipeline. Every pursuit staged, next step named, risk called early — visible to leadership at any moment.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YEAR ONE
  • A full, staged pipeline of net-new opportunities you sourced and own.
  • New accounts transitioned to our delivery teams healthy — the teams inheriting them will vouch for the handoff.
  • Trusted by client C-suites — and equally by the directors and managers who make things happen.

Requirements

WHO YOU ARE
  • You've personally opened and grown accounts you can name — with the numbers and the story of the engagements you've led.
  • You build real credibility at every level of a client organization.
  • You've spotted commercial opportunity others missed, and you can walk us through exactly how you saw it.
  • Can hold a credible, current conversation about AI and growth with a sophisticated buyer — today.
  • You've carried a number and closed against it.
HELPFUL, NOT REQUIRED

Agency or professional-services background. Hub Spot fluency. Experience selling marketing, data, or AI-adjacent services.

HOW WE HIRE

We test for demonstrated leadership. Expect real working sessions through the interview process:

  • A live discovery exercise with a realistic senior-buyer scenario.
  • A walkthrough of an account you personally opened and expanded.
  • An opportunity-diagnosis session on a real (anonymized) client situation.
  • Conversations across our team — leadership and practitioners alike.
