Business Development Manager (Agency)
At Social Fixation, we don’t do beige. We don’t blend in. We help brands trade noise for narrative and we’re looking for a seasoned sales leader who can open the doors that matter.
This is not another “make 200 cold calls a day” role. This is about sitting across from CMOs, founders, and decision-makers of ambitious brands; helping them see what their company could become, then closing the partnership that gets them there.
What You’ll Do
Drive new business growth across Australia and the UK, with a focus on high-value FMCG, lifestyle, and disruptive challenger brands.
Build relationships with senior stakeholders (Founders, CMOs, Marketing Directors) and turn conversations into long-term contracts.
Partner with our strategy and creative teams to present proposals that don’t just look good, but live in people’s minds.
Own the sales cycle end-to-end: prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and closing.
What Success Looks Like
$1M+ in new annual revenue generated in your first 12 months.
5–10 “whale” clients secured, brands you’d be proud to name-drop.
A pipeline of opportunities across FMCG, fintech, retail, and global lifestyle brands.
Becoming a key voice in shaping how we scale our agency into new markets.
What We’re Looking For
Proven track record in advertising sales, agency growth, or OOH campaign sales (creative, media, advertising or branding experience highly regarded).
Confidence in engaging C-suite and founder-level decision-makers.
Strategic thinker who knows how to position value beyond price.
Driven closer and not afraid to own targets and celebrate smashing them.
What’s In It For You
Competitive base + uncapped commissions (OTE $175K+ in year one).
Hybrid that respects your time; Outcome-driven, not seat-time. Hybrid/flexible by design to win deals and protect deep-work time.
Vertical impact, zero bureaucracy; direct line to founder, shape strategy, pricing and pitch narratives. Your wins move the whole agency.
Clear growth path; Define and build the new-business function; pathway to Sales Director as we scale AU → UK/EU.
Sell work you’re proud of; High-intent briefs with ambitious & challenger brands; fewer RFP treadmills, more strategic conversations.
Recognition that’s real; Public wins, case-study credit, and a seat at the table where decisions (and celebrations) happen.
A mission with momentum; Join a creative company that values innovation and human skills as we scale where your reputation grows with ours.
Why This Role Matters More Here
In a giant agency, your wins get buried under layers of process and politics. Here, every deal you close is felt across the whole company. You’ll have a direct line to the founder, a seat at the strategy table, and the freedom to move fast. This is a role where your impact is visible, your voice is heard, and your success shapes the agency’s future. If you want to build, not just sell, this is your stage.
If you are still reading, you should probably apply
This is not another anonymous sales role. It is a chance to build the reputation of an agency that already works with ambitious brands, and to put your signature on the partnerships that define its next chapter. You will be well-paid, properly recognised, and given the freedom to do the best work of your life. If you have the talent and the drive, apply now and join us in building something enduring.
