Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on, commercially driven Business Development Director to lead and grow new business for THG Studios. This senior role combines strategic leadership with active engagement in the full business development cycle — from identifying and pursuing high-value opportunities to pitching, negotiating, and closing deals.

The ideal candidate is both a strategic thinker and an executor: someone who thrives on building relationships, developing tailored creative and commercial solutions, and personally driving revenue growth.

Key Responsibilities
  • Drive new business growth by identifying, developing, and securing partnerships with leading global and regional brands.

  • Lead from the front — actively prospect, engage, and manage your own pipeline of opportunities across multiple sectors.

  • Develop and execute a robust sales and growth strategy aligned with THG Studios’ creative and commercial goals.

  • Build deep, trusted relationships with senior decision-makers, brand leaders, and agency partners.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with creative, production, strategy, and technology teams to develop compelling proposals and pitches.

  • Oversee and directly contribute to the end-to-end sales process — from initial outreach and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close.

  • Represent THG Studios externally at industry events, conferences, and key client meetings to elevate our market presence.

  • Provide market intelligence on emerging trends, competitor activities, and client needs to inform future strategy.

  • Mentor and guide junior members of the business development team, fostering a high-performance, growth-oriented culture.

Required Skills & Experience
  • Proven track record of success in business development, commercial leadership, or sales roles within creative, digital, media, or production environments.

  • Demonstrable experience personally driving new revenue and closing complex, high-value deals.

  • Deep understanding of digital marketing, content production, creative services, and technology-led solutions.

  • Strong strategic, commercial, and negotiation skills, with the ability to craft and articulate compelling value propositions.

  • Hands-on, entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable working autonomously and taking ownership of growth.

  • Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building abilities.

  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and matrixed global organization.

Desirable Attributes
  • Experience engaging with global brand leaders or top-tier agencies.

  • Understanding of end-to-end creative production processes and commercial models.

  • Familiarity with THG Ingenuity’s e-commerce and technology platforms.

What We Offer
  • The opportunity to shape growth at the intersection of creativity, technology, and e-commerce.

  • A dynamic, collaborative culture within a global organization.

  • Competitive base salary, performance-based incentives, and long-term career progression.

  • The chance to work with world-leading brands on innovative, high-impact creative solutions.
