Manager, Growth

WHY DEPT®? We are a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, we create what is next by pioneering ideas, acting fast, and moving further because standing still just is not in our DNA.

We are drawn to people who stay curious, move with intent, and never stop inventing. Our culture runs on three values: better together, relentlessly curious, and get sh*t done. It is how we work, how we grow, and how we make things that matter.

THE ROLE As part of the sales team, you will be responsible for driving revenue growth by leading strategic workstreams within pitches, articulating the value of core solutions, contributing to pitch strategy and content, and managing small-to-mid-sized deals. Your focus will be on selling branding experience design, campaign strategy and execution, media management, data solutions, ecommerce, ai transformation, product innovation development, systems integration and much more. To be successful in this role, it is imperative to have a curious, commercially focused mind.

You must have a broad understanding of a range of industry verticals and the ability to develop pitch strategies demonstrating DEPT®’s capabilities. A broad understanding of the entire agency sales funnel— from brand building, to performance tactics, to business development to sales— is also important in this role, though primarily the role will be judged on bottom funnel performance, that is to say close rates and sales revenue generation. You must be able to quickly build trust and rapport, ask the right questions, and bring a strategic approach to selling agency solutions.

An entrepreneurial spirit with a bias for action and problem-solving is necessary to be successful in this role.
