Job Description & How to Apply Below
You've spent your career in PR and communications — and your track record is in new business. You know how to find the right opportunities, build relationships, and close. You come with a network and the instincts to identify where there's a strong, lasting fit.
About the roleJConnelly is a PR and integrated communications agency working across a focused set of industries — including financial and professional services, technology, and consumer brands — where relationships, reputation, and precision matter. Our clients’ long tenures are something we're proud of.
What you'll do- Own the new business pipeline across JConnelly's core practice areas
- Drive proactive outreach and convert inbound leads with equal focus on both
- Develop proposals and scope engagements in partnership with leadership
- Build referral relationships with aligned professional services partners
- Represent JConnelly at industry events and manage the pipeline
- Travel regularly to client and prospect meetings, industry events, and our New York office
- A proven closer. Be prepared to talk specifics — what you've sourced, won, and how.
- 7+ years in PR or communications with dedicated business development experience (closing min $3M+/annual)
- Someone who has owned a biz dev process, not just contributed to one
- An existing network in financial services, technology, or professional services
- Proximity to or ability to get to New York regularly. Travel is required.
- Anyone without agency experience
- Someone who needs to learn PR from scratch
This is a relationship-driven sale in a relationship-driven industry. If you haven't worked inside an agency and closed business there, this won't be the right fit.
Benefits include- Company-funded Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) on select medical plans
- Company-paid life insurance & AD&D coverage
- ESOP — employee stock ownership, fully funded by JConnelly, no cost to you
- 401(k) with company match (traditional & Roth options)
- Supplemental coverage through Aflac (disability, critical illness, and more)
- Free 24/7 healthcare navigation through Health Advocate
- Virtual vet consultations through Petzey
