What are the responsibilities and job description for the New Business Manager position at The Zimmerman Agency?
Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for marketing communications and a talent for driving agency growth—without the pressure of cold calling or chasing leads? We’re looking for a New Business Manager to join our dynamic team in Tallahassee, Florida, and play a key role in shaping the future of our agency.
About the Role:
As our New Business Manager, you will be at the heart of our growth engine—managing the new business process from initial inquiry to final pitch presentation.

- Ensure brand consistency and strategic alignment in all outbound materials
- Coordinate with other Omnicom agencies around the world on new business opportunities
What We’re Looking For:
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in marketing communications—preferably in an agency environment
- Exceptional project management and organizational skills
- Strong writing and storytelling ability, with an eye for persuasive messaging
- Comfortable working with executives and collaborating across teams
- Detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and able to juggle multiple projects at once

Why Join Us in Tallahassee:
As Florida’s capital city, Tallahassee offers a unique blend of Southern charm, creative energy, and vibrant culture. You’ll enjoy a thriving professional community, a high quality of life, and the opportunity to grow your career at an agency that values creativity, collaboration, and results.
