We call ourselves a Nothing Is Impossible company. We believe great ideas can change culture and shape society for the better. And we’re looking for like-minded creative people to help us make memorable work in our Auckland office.
Join a diverse collective of creative souls; hungry for greatness, respectful of each other and optimistic in mindset. We’re looking for someone who can help us create outstanding work for a wide array of clients in multiple sectors.
What will you be doing
As a Business Director (BD) you are expected to manage effective strategic and creative development across the account, with an eye towards client relationships, the client’s business and potential opportunities (for both the client and agency).
The agency expects their BD’s to have a firm grasp on the financial aspects of their account, owning the forecasting (with the aid of their GBD) and with the ability to plan ahead of time the financial repercussions of client decisions or conversations. We also expect our BD’s to fully understand the ins-and-outs of the contracts in place.
You are expected to grow a team of business management ‘rock stars’ who feel motivated, supported and challenged – by inspiring, motivating and challenging them while offering critical insights and ‘big picture’ perspective. We look to our BD’s to uphold best industry practice and be an ambassador for the agency, living the values of Saatchi & Saatchi.
Skills Required
Strong leadership skills. Be able to inspire people at all levels to achieve peak performance. Work well with all other departments. Know when to push, and when to pull back. Be able to “keep your head, even when those about you are losing theirs”.
Excellent communication skills. You must be able to accurately communicate information to and from the client. Be a good listener, a strong presenter and seller and be able to handle delicate issues.
Have the confidence to deal with senior clients and to resolve most problems or issues that arise.
Have very strong creative evaluation skills. Be able to judge when creative is on strategy or not, and work with the creative team to strengthen ideas. Gain the trust and respect of the creatives.
Strong strategic abilities. Be able to independently articulate a clear and actionable strategy that meets the objectives. Help others improve their strategic thinking.
