Head of New Business - Post Production [C5857]

Our client is looking for a unique individual who combines proven sales experience with management flair and ambition. 


This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to take on a company management position in the next couple of years.

THE COMPANY:


Our client is a highly successful central London Post Production company which has worked on some of the biggest shows of all time. 


THE ROLE:


Your brief will be to expand the company’s portfolio into new production sectors to achieve their ambitious target growth. 


Key responsibilities: 

  • Research and identify new production clients in both broadcast, streaming and corporate markets 
  • Design and implement targeted sales campaigns to attract clients & leverage our unique selling points to differentiate from competitors
  • Work in conjunction with current sales operations including forecasting, budgeting, and reporting
  • Collaborate with marketing, production, and finance, to ensure seamless operations and delivery of high-quality products and services to clients
  • Stay up-to-date on industry trends, emerging technologies, and new products and services to ensure the company remains competitive in the market.


THE PERSON: 


You will have a track record in developing sales contacts and have an established network of production companies in the broadcast / streaming, or corporate sectors. 


An understanding of the post production process is essential; however, you don’t necessarily have to have come from a post-production background. You could be a successful marketeer, a producer or even a commissioner, or perhaps you’re currently working in a production company or broadcaster. The most important thing is that you have a strong black book of production contacts, a strong commercial mindset, and are passionate about building new client relationships and securing new business.


You will be able to easily integrate yourself into an established team, have a good sense of humour, a can-do attitude and be empathetic and enthusiastic. Whilst a team player, you will equally have a strong sense of initiative and leadership. 


Crucially, you will understand how businesses operate, tactically and strategically, and be able to assume a company management role in the medium term.
