Challenge is growing, and we’re looking for experienced agency-side new business support to help shape our next phase.
This is not an account management role and it’s not junior sales or lead generation. We’re looking for someone who has already done agency new business properly and wants to work with a strong proposition, senior clients and a leadership team that values quality over volume.
The role
You’ll work closely with the founders to:
- Open and develop new business opportunities
- Lead and shape conversations with senior client stakeholders
- Sell strategic, creative and consultancy-led work
- Bring structure, judgement and momentum to our new business approach
This is a role for someone who is comfortable working independently, spotting the right opportunities, and knowing which ones not to chase.
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience leading new business in an agency environment
- Confidence selling strategy, creative and complex marketing engagements
- Strong commercial judgement and relationship-building skills
- A network you know how to use thoughtfully
- Seniority, credibility and a low-ego approach
This role is not suitable for account managers looking to move into sales , or junior new business profiles.
Why Challenge
- A clear, differentiated proposition
- Momentum and genuine growth
- Senior-level access and autonomy
- Flexible engagement shaped around the right person
- A values-led agency that prioritises trust, clarity and long-term relationships
How to apply
We’re deliberately keeping this informal. If this sounds like the right fit, or you’d like an initial conversation, please get in touch directly.
- Alternatively, if you know someone exceptional, we’d welcome an introduction.
