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

Responsibilities

We are representing a confidential communications consultancy in Berlin that is building out its business development function. In this senior role, you will own the full new business pipeline—from market intelligence to pitch delivery.

• Build and manage a robust new business pipeline by identifying decision-makers in technology, venture capital, innovation, and corporate communications
• Monitor market signals such as funding rounds, leadership changes, and market entries to spot opportunities early
• Develop relationships with potential clients, investors, partners, and multipliers; represent the firm at relevant industry events and networks
• Qualify opportunities rigorously: budget, timing, scope, decision processes, cultural fit, and strategic potential before committing resources
• Steer pitch processes in collaboration with leadership and consulting teams, ensuring briefing quality, team alignment, preparation, and follow-up
• Connect new business efforts with PR, thought leadership, events, LinkedIn presence, partnerships, and public tenders
• Maintain CRM systems, target lists, and follow-up processes; analyze which contacts, leads, and pitches convert into long-term mandates

What We're Looking For

• Relevant experience in new business, business development, growth, B2B sales, client development, or consulting
• Background in agency environments: communications consultancy, strategy consulting, creative agency, tech agency, or comparable B2B settings
• Understanding of how agencies grow and how to evaluate opportunities before they consume time and resources
• Ability to engage confidently with CEOs, CMOs, founder teams, and investors at eye level
• Strong instinct for people, timing, and relevance; clear written communication and disciplined follow-through
• Energy for acquisition work without coming across as overly sales-driven
• Structured and consistent working style: CRM, target lists, touchpoints, follow-ups, and clear routines are second nature
• Practical experience with pitches, RFIs, RFPs, chemistry meetings, engagement workshops, and public procurement processes
• Fluency in German and English required for this Berlin-based role
