Job description

CCG is a full-service agency that pairs strategy and creative with in-house development. We build brands, campaigns, websites, and custom software for a wide range of clients. We’re growing, and we need someone who wants to help drive that growth.

The Role

We’re looking for an early-career, high-energy go-getter to join our New Sales Execution Team. You’ll work directly with leadership to find new opportunities, start conversations, and turn our growth strategy into real business.

This is not a “wait for the phone to ring” job. You’ll get out into Birmingham, make connections, chase leads, and keep things moving. You don’t need deep industry knowledge, because we’ll teach you the business. What we can’t teach is drive, curiosity, and the willingness to get after it.

What You’ll Do

• Find and chase new business through research, cold outreach, LinkedIn, referrals, and networking
• Be an active, visible face for CCG in the Birmingham community at events, business groups, chambers, and civic organizations
• Qualify leads and build a steady pipeline of real opportunities
• Set up meetings and help lead first conversations with potential clients
• Work with leadership and the New Sales Execution Team to carry out growth strategy and outreach campaigns
• Support proposals and pitches alongside our strategy, creative, and development teams
• Keep the CRM up to date and track your activity and results
• Follow up, follow up, follow up

What We’re Looking For

• 1–3 years of experience in sales, business development, marketing, or another customer-facing role. Internships, campus leadership, or entrepreneurial hustle count.
• Already involved in the Birmingham community, or excited to be
• Comfortable reaching out to people you don’t know by phone, email, LinkedIn, and in person
• Confident, personable, and a strong communicator
• Organized and self-motivated, with the discipline to stay on top of a pipeline
• Competitive, coachable, and eager to grow
• Interest in marketing, advertising, or technology is a plus

Why CCG

• Work directly with leadership and learn how an agency grows from the inside
• A real product to sell, backed by a creative and development team that delivers
• Room to grow your career as we grow
• Compensation: $45,000–55,000 base salary plus commission
• 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance for employees
• Paid time off
• 401(k) plan
• Additional optional benefits, including supplemental insurance and services

CCG is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds.
