Overview

A leading media and creative agency group is seeking a forward-thinking Commercial Director to lead commercial strategy, drive new business growth, and build a high-performing revenue engine across both agency services and strategic partnerships.

This is a rare opportunity to join a values-led, socially-native business with a unique commercial model that combines influencer marketing, content creation, and partnerships at scale. The ideal candidate will be comfortable in both strategic planning and pitching to senior stakeholders.

The Role

You will be responsible for leading and growing the sales and marketing functions, identifying new revenue opportunities, and driving performance across social/influencer agency services and strategic brand partnerships.

This senior, hands-on role requires a deep understanding of social media — not just platform knowledge but strategic insight into how social integrates with broader brand and marketing objectives. You should have experience in scaling commercial teams, developing product-market fit, and creating winning pitches.

We seek a commercially-minded, strategic individual with a passion for storytelling, innovation, and results in a fast-paced creative environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the end-to-end commercial strategy across agency and partnership streams
• Support product development and go-to-market strategies
• Collaborate with leadership to meet revenue goals
• Build and manage a high-performing sales, strategy, and marketing team
• Develop new business pipelines for growth
• Partner with marketing to shape campaign narratives
• Identify and evolve revenue streams in social agency services and brand partnerships
• Represent the company at client meetings and industry events

What We’re Looking For

• Experience in senior commercial, business development, or growth roles within media, digital, or creative agencies
• Strong social media expertise — platforms, content formats, influencer marketing, algorithms, cultural trends
• Ability to align social strategies with broader brand and business goals
• Proven success in scaling revenue and teams
• Strategic thinker with creative flair — capable of building frameworks and developing narratives
• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and comfortable in high-growth environments
