Senior Manager New Business & Strategic Growth (w/m/x)

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential communications consultancy in Berlin seeking a Senior Manager for New Business & Strategic Growth. In this role, you will own the full business development cycle and build sustainable growth channels.

Your core responsibilities include:

• Building and managing a qualified new business pipeline by identifying decision-makers in technology, venture capital, innovation, and corporate communications
• Monitoring market signals—funding rounds, leadership changes, market entries—to spot opportunities early
• Developing outreach strategies and cultivating relationships with prospective clients, investors, partners, and industry multipliers
• Representing the firm at relevant industry events and networking forums
• Qualifying opportunities rigorously: budget, timing, scope, decision process, cultural fit, and strategic potential before resource commitment
• Leading pitch processes in collaboration with leadership and consulting teams, ensuring briefing, team composition, timelines, and follow-up are on track
• Integrating business development with PR, thought leadership, events, LinkedIn presence, partnerships, and public tenders
• Advancing CRM systems, target lists, and follow-up workflows; analyzing which contacts and pitches convert to engagements

What We're Looking For

You bring proven experience in new business, business development, B2B sales, client development, or consulting. You understand how agencies grow and how to evaluate opportunities before they consume significant time and resources.

Required qualifications:

• Background in agency environments—communications consultancy, strategy consulting, creative agency, tech agency, or comparable B2B settings
• Ability to engage credibly with CEOs, CMOs, founder teams, and investors
• Strong intuition for people, timing, and relevance; clear written communication and disciplined follow-through
• Energized by acquisition without adopting heavy-handed sales tactics
• Structured working style: CRM fluency, target lists, touchpoint planning, and consistent routines are second nature
• Hands-on experience with pitches, RFIs, RFPs, chemistry meetings, engagement workshops, and public procurement processes
• Fluency in German and English
