Business Head - Bengaluru Who are you? - You're the kind of person who can spot an opportunity in every conversation. New brand in town? You already know the play. Existing client? You're figuring out what's next before they even ask. - You don't just pitch - you narrate. You build stories that make strategies memorable. And you don't stop at the win; you stay in, build trust, and make sure the brand grows with us. - You're equal parts hunter, partner, and brand custodian. What will you do? - Drive SoCheers growth in the South market; scanning, spotting, and seizing opportunities. - Partner with founders to crack new sectors, shape regional strategies, and expand the client base. - Acquire new clients via referrals, inbound leads, and networking that doesn't feel like networking. - Lead pitches from start to finish - RFPs, creds, narratives, decks, and winning rooms. - Close deals, negotiate commercials, and ensure smooth, seamless onboarding. - Manage onboarded brands like they're your own; ensuring consistency, growth, and strategic alignment. - Be the brand custodian for existing clients; building roadmaps, spotting opportunities, and driving business + creative impact. - Stay on top of campaigns, communication, and delivery timelines with internal teams. - Keep SoCheers creds, case studies, and success stories fresh and sharp. - Focus on client experience; measure it, improve it, own it (yes, NPS matters) and make every interaction meaningful. - Nurture relationships by being proactive, bringing insights, and always staying solution-driven. - Spot upsell & cross-sell opportunities that actually add value to the client, not just the bottom line. What do you bring? - 7+ years of advertising/digital experience, with a mix of business development, client servicing, and brand management. - Experience in a similar agency-side role (preferred) - you get the pace, the people, and the client mindset. - Proven ability to grow accounts and manage brands strategically. - The balance of detail and big-picture thinking; you can handle the nitty-gritty while planning the long game.
