📍 Location: London

📝 Employment type:  Full time, permanent
 

At GWI we’re always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we’re looking for a Business Development Manager to play a key role in our Independent Agencies Team in London. If that’s you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.

 

Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔

As our Business Development Manager you’ll work on the end-to-end sales cycle for independent agencies, from prospecting and discovery through to proposal and closing, adopting a consultative selling approach to understanding the data and insight needs of your clients and proposing a tailored package of solutions that leverage the full range of GWI’s solutions. You'll take control and completely own your new business activity to build a pipeline of opportunities and develop targeted sales strategies

It’s also fun; shaking things up is what working for a growing company is all about. So you’ll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment as we grow. 

We particularly welcome applications from women and other underrepresented groups in the tech industry. Our company thrives on different perspectives and believes that diversity drives innovation. If you're passionate about marketing technology and have the skills we're looking for, we want to hear from you – even if you don't meet every single requirement. 

What do I need to bring with me? 🧳

You’ll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you’re willing to learn. Here’s what the team will be looking for:

👉 Experience selling market research or SaaS platform products or working in the advertising/marketing industry in a New Business role 
👉 Confident guiding the full sales cycle from nurturing prospects to closing deals, with a strong ability to cultivate consistent pipeline.
👉 Hands-on problem-solver who can operate effectively under pressure (sometimes)
👉 You’ll be able to take clients on a journey by telling meaningful stories about their data that navigates their specific objectives and needs
👉 Engaging communicator, you can negotiate and present with passion and authenticity
👉 You love to nurture relationships with clients and prospective clients, stakeholders and your fellow GWIers


Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, exemplified by our leadership team, and they’re a big part of what we’re looking for in you.

Interview steps 👟

👉 Preliminary phone call with the Talent Team (no video required)
👉 First video interview with the hiring managers 
👉 Second (and final*) video interview with the hiring panel, often including a presentation, followed by a values conversation with members of the wider GWI community.

*Don’t be alarmed if there are other stages in the process, it’s all part of the plan for some of our roles.

What’s in it for me? 🎁

You’ll do the sort of work that got you excited about your career in the first place - not as a cog in a machine, but as an individual whose contribution matters. So gigantic job satisfaction comes as standard, but it’s only part of the package. You’ll also get:

🌴 Tons of days off: 25 days annual leave | Xmas office closures 
💸 More than a great salary: Employee share scheme | Health cash plan | 4% pension plan matching 
🧘 Great work-life balance: Flexitime | early Friday finishes | Work-from-anywhere options
🏡 Family-focused flexibility: Carer days | Enhanced parental leave | Health cash plan for your family
