Role: Business Lead – Special Projects 

Location: Remote working until further notice 

A Little Bit About the Role: 

We are seeking a commercially focused Business Lead to own the relationship and commercial performance of special projects and transformation engagements. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, client leadership and GTM — identifying and driving account growth opportunities, setting strategic roadmaps, and partnering with SMEs and delivery teams to execute transformation across people, process and technology.  

Key responsibilities — Business Lead  

Strategic account leadership 

• Partner with the account leadership to build a strategy and long‑term roadmap aligned to client business objectives and Brandtech+ capabilities. 

• Act as a senior client contact and trusted advisor, engaging at executive level to influence strategy and secure outcome‑oriented commitments. 

• Lead governance and stakeholder mapping; manage executive steering, steering committees and sign‑off processes. 

Commercial stewardship 

• Assist in setting commercial targets working with teams on pricing strategy; approve commercial terms and negotiate high‑value agreements. 

• Drive, track and manage pipeline development and prioritisation to meet revenue and growth objectives. 

Transformation leadership 

• Work with clients, SMEs and other stakeholders to define and execute transformation pathways across people, process and technology. 

• Design specialized strategic transformation roadmaps that accelerate AI adoption, operational efficiency and creative capability. 

• Coordinate cross‑functional leadership (creative, product, data/AI, production, PMs) to deliver measurable business outcomes. 

Growth and go‑to‑market 

• Identify and convert upsell, cross‑sell and new business opportunities within and beyond assigned accounts. 

• Shape proposals, commercial models and presentations for C‑suite and procurement. 

• Represent Brandtech+ in client workshops, industry forums and thought leadership activities. 

Team and stakeholder enablement 

• Mobilise and empower delivery leads and PMs to execute against strategy; provide direction, remove blockers and ensure accountability for outcomes. 

• Mentor and develop internal talent; embed best practice in account management, commercial execution and AI adoption. 

Performance indicators (KPIs) 

• Increased AI Adoption across candidate accounts (adoption rate, volume of AI‑enabled projects, percentage of account activity using AI). 

• Improved NR/HC to company baseline — uplift Net Revenue per Headcount for managed accounts toward or above company baseline. 

• Revenue growth and margin performance vs. targets (quarterly/annual). 

• Client Net Promoter Score / executive satisfaction. 

• Pipeline conversion rate and value of upsell/won opportunities. 

• Successful delivery of agreed transformation milestones (on agreed business outcomes rather than detailed task delivery). 

• Build out of successful case studies to use in sales and development opportunities 

What we’re looking for 

• Proven background in senior account leadership, business development or commercial roles within creative, production or digital agencies. 

• Strong commercial acumen with experience owning P&L, forecasting and margin management. 

• Track record of leading transformational client engagements that combine people, process and technology change. 

• Excellent executive presence and stakeholder management—comfortable influencing C‑suite and cross‑functional teams. 

• Data and outcome‑oriented mindset: able to define KPIs, measure impact and iterate strategy. 

• Commercially and creatively minded; able to translate strategic vision into commercially viable propositions. 

• Agency/production experience and a demonstrable interest in AI technologies and their business applications and impact on delivery.
