Let us take the pain out of your next international campaign | We help brands deliver scalable & efficient international campaigns
We’re looking for a commercially minded, strategic New Business & Marketing Director to lead a high-impact growth function at Freedman International.
You’ll build and manage a combined team of marketers and business developers, supported by top-tier external partners. Your remit: develop and execute campaigns that attract interest from senior global marketers at international brands, and generate a predictable pipeline of high-value opportunities. Reporting to the CMO, this is a senior “player-coach” role with a clear line of sight to the CEO and wider leadership team.
This is a senior “player-coach” role – ideal for someone with agency-side experience who knows how to activate well-defined positioning, identify the right targets, and open the right doors.
What you’ll be responsible for:
* Designing and executing a commercial growth strategy aligned with revenue targets and key market sectors
* Leading and mentoring a cross-functional team of 5 (2 marketers, 3 BDs), supported by external partners
* Building visibility and authority in our space through thought leadership, strategic PR and speaking opportunities
* Managing and optimising our go-to-market systems (HubSpot, reporting, pipeline intelligence)
* Bringing strategic insight to the leadership team to guide investment, focus and messaging
* Opening new doors through trusted networks, referrals, and industry engagement — not spammy outbound
You’ll likely have:
* Proven experience leading combined marketing and BD functions in a B2B agency, consultancy, or creative services environment
* A strong understanding of how international brands buy marketing services — especially relationship-led, strategic engagements
* Demonstrated success building campaigns that drive brand equity and pipeline, not just clicks
* Deep fluency with modern sales/marketing tooling (HubSpot essential), reporting and team workflows
* High EQ, commercial acumen, and a bias for outcomes over activity
* High-impact role shaping the growth trajectory of a respected, global marketing business
* Smart, collaborative culture that values initiative and long-term relationships
* Direct access to the leadership team and support from top-tier external partners
* Room to build your own team, process and playbook — no legacy red tape
