We are seeking a New Business and Operations Vice President for integrated pitches, proposals, and programs that span strategy, creative, content, production, activations, reporting, and more. If you like creating collaborative new business proposals, problem-solving new agency solutions and business models, driving to deadlines, paying attention to detail, and setting teams up for success, this is the job for you.
Who are you?
You love the excitement of the agency new business process: working with cross-functional teams to coordinate innovative and customized inputs and leading the pitch preparation process under tight deadlines. You are dedicated and thorough so that nothing falls through the cracks. You love people, relationship building, collaboration, communication, and being in a fast-paced work environment—and thrive on integrating with some of our industry's brightest leaders in creative, strategy, and AI. You are a self-starter and have the follow-through and operational know-how to take a program from initial proposal into full program set up, with strong team onboarding and program management chops.
The job
You will be responsible for coordinating, managing, and inputting into the new business process, ensuring integration across teams in developing responses to new business requests and RFPs (from detailed RFI questionnaires to complex creative presentations). Together with Assembly Account Leadership, you will be leading new business efforts to secure new clients and organically grow existing clients. When projects are ready to convert, you will partner with the Head of Client Delivery for resourcing, onboarding, and confirming additional setup requirements to smoothly stand up and guide teams to kick off. To support new business growth, you will take the lead on awards and promotional opportunities, as well as managing and ensuring case studies of our best work are proactively created and at the ready. When you're not pitching, you'll be meeting with leaders across the larger DJE Holdings network to learn more about our agency's products, resources, and offerings to offer up new solutions and operating models for Assembly to secure and onboard new workstreams. Additionally, as our knowledge manager of best-in-class work and wins, you will be the best person to help redefine and establish a broader Assembly onboarding process.
