Business Development Manager
We are looking for a business developer for Symbia who understands what makes a good campaign, a strong brand, and why a nice logo is not enough. We are not looking for a persistent hunter who disappears into the bushes after a successful strike. Nor an account manager who waits for someone to contact them. We are looking for someone who understands the creative business and knows how to open it up to new clients and move existing ones forward. Do you enjoy branding, campaigns, and communication that has guts and meaning? Are you familiar with AI and see it as a partner? Read on.
What can you expect from us?
- Acquiring new business. Actively seeking out brands that need a better campaign, a clearer position, or a stronger identity. Through tenders, networking, or direct contact.
- Tendering. Analyzing the assignment, deciding whether to go for it, coordinating the offer and presentation.
- Client relations. From initial contact to long-term partnership—you know that good business starts with trust.
- Teamwork. Strategy, bids, budgets, and terms of cooperation. Everything that gives the client relationship a clear framework.
