What does a Senior New Business Manager do at WPP Production?

The Role

The Senior New Business Manager plays a critical role in driving growth for WPP Production, leading complex, high-value opportunities end-to-end and shaping how we respond to and win new business.

This is a strategic and creative role, responsible for defining the narrative, positioning, and overall solution behind each pitch. You will take ownership of how we translate client challenges into clear, differentiated, and commercially compelling responses.

Working closely with senior stakeholders across WPP Production and the wider WPP network, you will lead the development of integrated proposals — bringing together strategy, operations, creative, and production into a single, cohesive story.

You will also help shape the strategic approach for each opportunity, ensuring the structure, messaging, and positioning reflect WPP Production’s proposition and competitive advantage. You will balance creative thinking with commercial understanding — clearly articulating how our operating models work, why they are effective, and the value they deliver for clients.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
