Studio Growth Executive
Full-time / Hybrid — Oxfordshire
Entry-Level Commercial Role
£25,000 PA
Build the momentum behind the work
For Different is a creative studio building brands, digital products, experiences and AI tools. Shaped by venture building, startup pace and creative craft, we work with ambitious businesses, founders, scale-ups and teams building something different. Our work sits where imagination, technology and commercial impact meet.
Founded in London and now based just outside Chipping Norton, our team works across the UK and supports clients around the world. You can see our work here.
We're now looking for someone to help us open more doors: a sharp, curious and commercially minded person who can spot the right opportunities, start the right conversations and help get For Different in front of the people we should be working with. That's where you come in.
The Role
We’re looking for a Studio Growth Executive to help us create more new business opportunities. This is a junior role with real responsibility. You won’t be expected to close major deals or lead senior commercial conversations. Your job is to find the right people, start the right conversations and help get them in front of the founder.
You’ll research prospects, manage outreach, keep the CRM system sharp, follow up properly and support pitches, proposals and statements of work when opportunities start moving.
Also, you’ll assist marketing the studio, helping turn our work, thinking and point of view into content, outreach and useful reasons to start conversations.
It’s part sales, marketing, research and organisation. Mostly, it’s about being switched on: spotting opportunities, understanding why they matter, and making sure nothing gets lost.
What You’ll Do
This is a full-time role, but it won’t be cold outreach all day, every day. You’ll move between three key areas depending on what the week needs: New Business Outreach, Pipeline Support and Creative Marketing. Some tasks will be weekly, others monthly, and some will come in waves. The goal is simple: help us find the right people, start the right conversations and keep good opportunities moving.
