Head of Growth

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end new business process, from prospecting and initial outreach through to pitch, proposal, negotiation and close.
• Build and maintain a qualified pipeline of target accounts in regulated industries, with clear visibility on stage, value, probability and next action at all times.
• Maintain a clean, up-to-date CRM, with accurate pipeline data, clear next steps and regular forecasting that the MD and senior team can rely on.
• Provide weekly pipeline reports to the MD, covering new opportunities added, stage movements, expected close dates, and any risks or blockers.
• Develop and refine Absolute's pitch process – ensuring proposals are compelling, commercially sound and clearly differentiated from the competition.
• Leverage your existing network to generate warm introductions and fast-track conversations with senior decision-makers at target brands.
• Identify and pursue the right mix of inbound and outbound opportunities – prioritising accounts where Absolute can build a long-term, high-value retainer relationship.
• Represent Absolute at industry events, conferences and networking forums (particularly in iGaming, finance), building the agency's profile in these verticals actively and consistently.
• Develop outreach strategies that are personal, insight-led and tailored – not spray-and-pray.
• Stay current with regulatory developments, industry news and market dynamics in target verticals – and use this knowledge to position Absolute as the informed, specialist choice.
• Work closely with the ‘Heads Of’ to ensure new clients are onboarded properly, with a clear brief, agreed KPIs and a realistic scope from day one.
• Support retention conversations on high-value accounts where a senior commercial presence would help.

What We're Looking For

• A demonstrable track record of selling digital marketing services at senior level, with clear, verifiable revenue numbers attached to your name.
• A genuine black book of senior contacts – relationships you have built over time and can activate quickly at Absolute.
• The ability to sell consultatively (not pitch-deck-first), but through genuine understanding of a client's business, challenges and commercial goals.
• A structured, disciplined approach to pipeline management – someone who keeps CRM updated, forecasts accurately and follows up without being chased.
• The gravitas and commercial credibility to hold a room with a CFO, CMO or VP of Marketing and earn their trust quickly.
• Experience selling SEO, PPC, DPR or multi-channel digital – and able to speak with authority about what these channels can and cannot do.

Highly Advantageous

• Direct experience working in or selling into the iGaming sector: operators, affiliates, platform providers or software suppliers.
• Experience selling into financial services, fintech, legal or healthcare. Understanding how regulated marketing environments work and what makes a compliant agency pitch credible.
• An existing profile in one or more of these verticals – known at events, active in industry forums, or with a following among target decision-makers.
• Familiarity with the agency landscape. Understands how agencies are structured, where margin is made and lost, and how to position against both large networks and boutique specialists.

Compensation & Structure

• Base salary: £50-£60k
• Opportunity to earn: Uncapped
• Full commission breakdown provided at application stage
