Job description

Toptal is a global network of top talent in business, design, and technology that enables companies to scale their teams, on-demand. With $200+ million in annual revenue and team members based around the globe, Toptal is the world’s largest fully remote workforce.

We take the best elements of virtual teams and combine them with a support structure that encourages innovation, social interaction, and fun. We see no borders, move at a fast pace, and are never afraid to break the mold.

Job Summary

Toptal’s Marketing Agency Organization spans eight practices, from brand and advertising to martech and content marketing. We need a hybrid operator across solution architecture, sales enablement, partnerships, and client-facing business development — judged on outcomes: deals won, partner revenue generated, offerings shipped.

You will be part of a distributed team and will be reporting directly to our Practice Director of our Marketing Agency.

This is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance. Applicants must be authorized to work in the US at the time of hire. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.

Responsibilities:

The following information is intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list of all duties, responsibilities, or required skills.

• Lead proposals and RFP responses for large, complex Enterprise engagements, and partner directly with SMB and Enterprise sales teams earlier in the deal cycle as a solutions counterpart and marketing subject matter expert.

Partnerships & Go-to-Market

• Own go-to-market execution of strategic partnerships with organizations like Hawke Media and Writer — offer structure, pricing, and co-sell motions — and be accountable for converting them into real, measurable revenue.
• Help evolve the core service catalog across project-based professional services and fully managed / retainer models, packaged so they’re easy for Sales to sell and clients to buy.

Client-Facing Business Development

• Represent the organization directly with prospective and existing Enterprise clients, owning outcomes and generating new business rather than only supporting from behind the scenes.

AI Enablement

• Design AI-enabled offerings for clients, and champion practical AI adoption inside the team.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• 8+ years of agency and/or consulting background with a track record of owning outcomes and working directly with clients.
• Experience writing and leading proposals or RFP responses for deals of varying size and complexity.
• Partnerships experience — building GTM motions and joint offerings that generated real, measurable revenue.
• Comfort working across both B2B and B2C, and across verticals such as consumer goods, technology, insurance, and financial services.
• Genuine interest in AI: designing AI-enabled client solutions and upskilling an internal team on AI tools.
• Experience working across various parts of the modern GTM motion: marketing, sales, customer success, revops.
• Strong client-facing presence, energized by business development, with excellent communication skills.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication skills, as well as perfect grammar and command of the English language.
• Ability to communicate clearly and consistently with teams through collaboration tools such as Slack.
• Demonstrated ability to excel as an individual contributor and deliver exceptional results.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, rapidly growing company and handle a wide variety of challenges, deadlines, and a diverse array of contacts.
• You must be a world-class individual contributor to thrive at Toptal. You will not be here just to tell other people what to do.

Essential Job Functions

• Regularly and reliably attend scheduled virtual team meetings on camera.
• Work independently with minimal supervision.
• Use all required digital collaboration tools.
• Prioritize and self-manage workflows and deadlines
