Business Development Manager - Agency

West Yorkshire

Are you a commercially savvy, relationship-driven professional with a passion for creative branding and storytelling? Fancy joining a leading brand agency that partners with ambitious clients to build bold, beautiful, and strategic brand identities? If so, we’ve got just the role for you.

As Business Development Manager, you’ll be a key player in driving new opportunities, building long-term partnerships, and helping shape the future growth of this ambitious agency.

About the company...

This is a well established branding agency with a reputation for creating standout brand identities, rebrands, and strategy-led creative that gets under the skin of a business. They partner with exciting clients across lifestyle, FMCG, and drinks delivering work that’s both beautiful and commercially sharp. They’re a tight-knit, passionate team who love what they do, and they're now looking for someone equally passionate to help them grow their client base.

About the role...

As a Business Development Manager, this role is all about building high-value relationships, identifying and converting new business opportunities, and developing partnerships with clients, and in-house marketing teams. You’ll lead on pitches, shape standout proposals, and help refine the agency’s business development strategy at a senior level. From networking at key industry events to owning the sales pipeline and collaborating with internal creative and strategy teams, you’ll play a pivotal role in taking the agency to its next chapter.

About you...

To be considered for the Business Development Manager role, we’re looking for someone with solid B2B experience—ideally in a creative, design or brand agency environment. You’re proactive, strategic, and know how to tailor your approach depending on the client. You understand how branding sits at the heart of a business and you know how to articulate value, not just visuals.

You’ll be a natural communicator, comfortable building rapport with both internal creatives and external clients at all levels. If you’re target-driven but relationship-first, you’ll fit in brilliantly.

This is one of many roles at ThePlaceToBe so if you're interested in having a more informal discussion about your career, please don't hesitate to reach out.
