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

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential communications consultancy in Berlin that is building out its strategic growth function. This is not about waiting for inbound requests—our client wants to understand markets early, build relationships strategically, and convert quality contacts into long-term engagements.

They need someone who treats new business as a strategic discipline: someone who reads the market, qualifies opportunities rigorously, and engages decision-makers in technology, venture capital, innovation, and corporate communications with credibility and confidence.

Responsibilities

• Pipeline development: Build a robust new business pipeline by identifying key decision-makers and recognizing opportunity windows created by funding rounds, leadership changes, market entries, or strategic shifts.
• Relationship building: Develop meaningful conversation triggers, cultivate relationships with prospective clients, investors, partners, and multipliers, and represent the firm in relevant networks and events.
• Opportunity qualification: Assess opportunities early and thoroughly—budget, timing, scope, decision process, cultural fit, and strategic potential must be clear before significant resources are committed.
• Pitch management: Steer pitch processes alongside leadership and consulting teams, ensuring briefing quality, team composition, role clarity, scheduling, preparation, and follow-through.
• Growth system integration: Connect new business efforts with PR, thought leadership, events, LinkedIn presence, partnerships, and public tenders.
• Structure and analytics: Advance CRM practices, target lists, and follow-up routines; evaluate which contacts, leads, and pitches convert into suitable engagements.

What We're Looking For

• Relevant experience in new business, business development, growth, B2B sales, client development, or consulting within agency environments—communications consultancy, strategy consultancy, creative agency, tech agency, or comparable B2B contexts.
• Understanding of how agencies grow and how to assess opportunities before they consume time and resources.
• Ability to engage confidently with CEOs, CMOs, founder teams, and investors; strong instinct for people, timing, and relevance; clear written communication and disciplined follow-up.
• Energy for acquisition work without defaulting to transactional sales approaches.
• Structured, consistent work habits: CRM fluency, target list management, contact point mapping, follow-up discipline, and clear routines are foundational to your practice.
• Hands-on familiarity with pitches, RFIs, RFPs, chemistry meetings, engagement workshops, and public tenders.
• German and English proficiency required for this Berlin-based role.
