Job description

Ready to rewrite how major brands work? We're on the hunt for a Strategic Growth Partner to own relationships with some of the world's biggest names - helping them solve their biggest workforce, creative, and tech challenges. If you're a natural connector who loves tech, AI, and big-picture strategy over old-school cold calling, this is your sign.

The Vibe

• Ditch the Vendor Energy: You're not just filling orders - you're a trusted advisor shaping how enterprise brands build their teams.
• Tech-Forward & AI-Curious: You love using modern tools, data, and automation to work smarter, close deals, and cut through the noise.
• Relationship-First: You get energy from building real, long-term connections with senior leaders across Marketing, Creative, HR, and Procurement.
• High-Impact Growth: You own your business, drive revenue, and scale top-tier accounts while keeping client satisfaction high.

What You Bring to the Table

• 5 experience in consultative sales, business development, or account management (staffing, digital/creative, or professional services experience is a major plus).
• Enterprise savvy - you know how to navigate big corporate structures, MSPs, and procurement without getting bogged down.
• Analytical mind - you use data and financial metrics to tell stories, solve problems, and back up your decisions.
• Collaborative mindset - you love bringing cross-functional teams (Recruiting, Product, Ops) together to deliver incredible results.
• Fire-Preventer, Not Firefighter: You don't wait for a client to bring you a broken process or a missing capability - you spot the bottleneck three steps ahead. You're constantly scanning account health, team structures, and market shifts to solve problems before they even hit the client's radar.
• Radical Curiosity Over Playbooks: When an enterprise client hits a complex workforce or creative roadblock, you don't offer cookie-cutter staffing. You ask the right questions, dig into the operational data, and architect customized, tech-enabled solutions that redefine how they get work done.
• Relentless Obstacle Remover: Corporate procurement and complex organizational matrixes can slow things down - you bring the momentum. You actively identify internal and external friction points, leverage AI and automation to streamline workflows, and loop in cross-functional partners (Legal, Ops, Recruiting) to clear a path forward.
• Proactive Growth Mindset: You treat every account like an evolving ecosystem. Rather than reactively responding to inbound requests, you actively bring new ideas, market trends, and AI-driven capabilities to senior leaders, continually showing them "what's next" for their business.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Freedom & Ownership: Run your enterprise accounts like your own business.
• Modern Toolkit: Leverage AI, market insights, and modern tech to supercharge how you sell.
• Real Growth Metrics: Succeed on clear wins - Gross Profit growth, long-term client retention, pipeline health, and real NPS impact.
