Head of Growth (with a pathway to ownership at a Leeds\-based agency) Leeds – Hybrid (3 days in the office)

Salary – £50\-60k (depending on experience) \+ profit share \+ long\-term equity opportunity

Not many agency leadership role comes with the chance to genuinely shape the future and be a part\-owner… but this one does.

We're working exclusively with an award\-winning brand design and digital agency that's spent the last decade building an enviable reputation for creative work, strong client relationships and sustainable growth. They've built a brilliant team, a loyal client base and a business that's profitable, stable and respected.

Now they're looking for someone to help take it to the next level.

This is a rare opportunity for a commercially\-minded agency professional to join a small, ambitious team and play a major role in shaping the future of the business. You'll lead growth, help steer commercial decisions and, over time, have the opportunity to become a genuine partner in the agency.

If you've ever looked at agencies and thought, "I'd love the opportunity to build something of my own one day" but haven’t been able to get started for one reason or another, this could be a perfect way of getting that plan going.

What You'll Be Doing

✔ Driving agency growth through new business activity, networking and relationship building

✔ Identifying opportunities across existing and new sectors, particularly B2B, industrial and commercial markets

✔ Building and nurturing a strong pipeline of prospective clients

✔ Leading pitches, proposals and commercial conversations

✔ Working closely with the founder to shape business strategy and growth plans

✔ Helping develop the agency's positioning, proposition and market presence

✔ Supporting wider business operations as the agency grows and evolves

✔ Playing an active role in the long\-term leadership and direction of the business

What You'll Bring to the Table

Experience \& Background

  • Experience in agency business development, growth or commercial leadership

  • A strong network and natural ability to build relationships

  • Experience working within branding, creative, digital or integrated agencies

  • Commercial awareness and confidence discussing business challenges with senior stakeholders

  • A track record of winning new business and creating growth opportunities
Mindset \& Approach
  • Entrepreneurial by nature — you enjoy building things, not simply maintaining them

  • Commercially curious and always looking for opportunities

  • Comfortable rolling your sleeves up in a smaller business environment

  • Collaborative and people\-focused rather than hard sales driven

  • Excited by the idea of helping shape a business rather than simply working in one
Why Join?

A genuine opportunity to help build and shape a growing agency

Work directly alongside an experienced founder and creative leader

Significant influence over the future direction of the business

Profit share and long\-term ownership opportunities for the right person

Work with clients across brand, digital, B2B, industrial, manufacturing and lifestyle sectors

Join a talented, established team producing award\-winning work

Flexible hybrid working with a grown\-up, trust\-based culture

Sound Interesting?

This isn't a traditional agency leadership role.

It's for someone who wants more influence, more ownership and the opportunity to help build something meaningful.

If you've got the commercial drive, entrepreneurial mindset and agency experience to help take an already successful business to its next chapter, we'd love to hear from you.
