Growth Manager (Business Development & Marketing)

Inspired Thinking Group (ITG) is the world’s leading tech-enabled, independent, agile content company. Experiencing growth at 30% YOY, we are at the forefront of digital transformation, delivering scaled content at lower costs, in less time, and at high quality via our award-winning AI-enabled technology. We are powered by four key pillars:  Capture, Create, Automate, and Integrate. Through these pillars, we enable our clients to seamlessly capture and create content, automate processes for efficiency, and integrate solutions for a unified digital experience. Our solutions are an answer to every CMO’s nightmare story: too many channels, too many agencies to work with, not enough budget to close the content gap, and too many tech choices and integrations. We simplify the complicated, automate the tedious, and create the beautiful.

ITG is making its foray into the United States and needs a motivated Growth Manager to help bring the “go-to-market” strategy to life. This role will be a bit of a hybrid one, where you will blend the business development aspects with the marketing aspects as we establish our brand presence to drive inbound inquiries and topline revenue. You will be responsible for prospect development, pipeline management and client acquisition while flexing your marketing prowess to define pitch strategies and shape brand moments to capture attention and convert new business opportunities.  

The Day-to-Day:

• You’ll vet the opportunity, craft the proposal, devise a plan to win, and shepherd the pitch from kickoff to closing.
• You’ll lead responses to client inquiries including Requests for Information (RFI) and Requests for Proposals (RFPs), capabilities presentations, client briefs, brainstorming and working sessions, and final proposals.
• You’re the first one to do background research on a new client, setting us up for smart recommendations and smarter content. 
• You're keeping an eye on the industry, understanding when key decision makers are making moves and what challenges brands are facing, allowing us to have timely, relevant conversations in the market
• You’ll partner cross-functionally to ensure that the trains run on time, owning crucial intricacies like setting up timelines, tracking the budget, and keeping the team in sync. 

Who You Are:

• You’ve got at least three (3 ) years in advertising/marketing agency business development.
• You’ve got a knack for writing winning pitches and responses to RFIs and RFPs.
• You’re ready to roll up your sleeves and get to work, driven by an innate need to succeed.
• You’ve got a Bachelor’s Degree (probably sitting in your parents’ attic).
