Role Description:


As our business continues to grow, we are looking for a proactive and results-oriented Business Development Manager to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for generating targeted new business opportunities at the top of the funnel. You will play a crucial role in identifying and nurturing prospective clients that have a potential need for our unique proposition.

This position requires an individual with a solid understanding of the creative, marketing, and web design and development market.


Primary Objectives:


  • Develop and implement a business development plan that aligns with our growth strategy and targets core vertical sectors.
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities within these core vertical sectors.
  • Present our joined-up value proposition and service offerings to potential clients, emphasising our unique expertise, track record, and the impact we can have on their business, whilst demonstrating a deep understanding of their needs and challenges.
  • Collaborate seamlessly with delivery teams to resource and transition opportunities effectively for pitching and progression to closure.
  • Meet annual sales targets and monthly quotas, providing regular reports on sales activities, pipeline status, and revenue forecasts.
  • Establish and nurture strong relationships with key client stakeholders and decision-makers.
  • Maintain relationships with existing clients, identifying opportunities for cross-selling and up-selling.
  • Work with the senior leadership team to align business development strategies with company goals.
  • Conduct market and client research/analysis to identify ideal prospect clients and understand their challenges and opportunities.
  • Represent Anything at industry events to enhance our presence within relevant sectors.
  • Monitor industry trends, analyse competitor activities, and identify potential target markets.



Skills Required:


  • Demonstrated, consistent success in business development or sales, ideally within the creative, design and development, or technology sectors.
  • Comprehensive understanding of our market and its dynamics.
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and driven to achieve results.
  • Collaborative team player with outstanding communication, organisational, and interpersonal skills.
  • Exceptional presentation skills with the ability to establish credibility and trust with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Strong influencing capabilities.
  • Willingness and flexibility to travel as required to meet clients and represent Anything at industry events.


About Anything:


We are an expert digital experience business that leverages "Content as a Service" to deliver exceptional, innovative, and sustainable solutions. We cater for mid and large corporates in the FMCG, Property Development, and Public sectors. Who have a need to inspire, engage, and influence customers with future-proof, easy-to-manage, cost-effective solutions.


We are fast, flexible partners obsessed with solving our clients' business challenges, providing significant business impact through high-performance, resilient, and scalable solutions.


With excellence in our DNA, we relentlessly collaborate to make the complex simple, unlike legacy platform agencies that wrestle with inflexible technology, forcing their clients to compromise. We do all this because we believe our customers deserve the right solution.


Since the beginning, we've been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the digital world. With a superb blend of creative and technical talent, we specialise in the inception and continuous optimisation of high-traffic digital products.


Our clients see us as more than just an agency; they consider us an integral part of their team. Our availability for discovery, guidance, and valuable insights reinforces this collaborative relationship.


While we remain relatively small and agile, our ambition is strong, and we have a clear growth plan in which this role plays a significant part. We are now ready to onboard a highly skilled and motivated business development professional to help us achieve our growth goals. Is that you?


Career progression here is limitless, offering the right individuals the chance to build and scale functions around them while achieving our goals. This is an ideal time to join us as we scale the business.


Our ideal candidate will see the opportunity to exceed targets, earn significantly, and shape the future sales engine of our company.
