Head of Growth, Agency Services

What we are looking for:

Valtech is looking for a Head of Growth to join us in the pursuit of being the experience innovation company.

To be successful in this role, you will know the agency game because you have lived it for years. You will be able to articulate the value of our offers to a B2B or B2C client in 50 words or less and most importantly, as a digital, creative, interactive, experiential native, you can translate the trends and lingo of the agency world into something a C-level executive can understand, value and buy.

Your job is to know the market, hunt the business needs that can be solved digitally, creating and pursuing opportunities with new client prospects. You know the value of getting down-and-dirty rather than going on autopilot with generic slide decks, and you’re comfortable with positioning a full-service offering that span strategy, creative and technology.

You’ll be passionate about the impact your work has on human beings. Furthermore, you’ll lead and inspire the rest of the new business-oriented sales team, including their tight coupling and collaboration with Marketing, so we drive a lean and effective end-to-end sales process across the funnel.

You will be an integral part of the sales team as well as your own client prospects and you will be responsible for driving revenue to our business. You must be both a leader and a deal-closer, and that means you also understand the fine act of balancing risks when bidding for new business.

You’ve had a similar position for the last 10 years or more, most likely in another digital agency or a technology partner. Your track record is proven when it comes to digital strategy, customer experience, digital planning, content management, and e-commerce.

And the showstopper: you must have worked within the digital space. Digital agency, digital consultancy, however your former employer chose to describe themselves, the core of the matter is that you have worked with digital native’s day in and day out: designing digital solutions, speaking in terms of pixels and bytes and evangelizing the benefits of a wireless society. You must have lived and breathed this stuff; otherwise, you’ll just be annoyed working with us.

Before we continue to dive into the requirements for the role, let’s discuss; Why you should join Valtech?

Flexibility: We trust in the expertise, skills, and actions of our colleagues. That’s why we provide a flexible work schedule that supports work/life balance.
