Overview
Business Directors at Spark Foundry are crucial senior talent for our agencies growth and development.
Our Business Directors are collaborative, tenacious, and inventive experts. They are focused on client servicing, people management and helping shape and evolve the brands we partner with. The Business Director leads the overall relationship from client servicing, strategy, integrated acquisition planning and technology innovation to team management. As the fast pace of our client's business changes, we look to our Business Directors to be the strategic partners to help facilitate and guide this change.
It is expected that they should be a self-starter and manage their clients autonomously elevating key priorities and communicating upwards not only at critical points but throughout the year, regularly informing the Head of Department of needs and requirements of our clients as they change.
This is a senior leadership role within the Paid Social team, responsible for delivering best-in-class strategic direction, team management and commercial excellence within the clients under your remit, as well as working with the Head of Paid Social to manage brilliant basics across the full team, build solutions to improve efficiency and continue to develop the department's offering.
Our Business Directors are also responsible for managing the new business pitches in conjunction with the Head of Department.
We expect our people to lead by example and mentor and train the rising stars at our agency so we are always prepared for the future. This person should exude confidence and be able to motivate, educate and develop a large team.
