About Ogilvy:

Our vision is to inspire brands and people to impact the world. To create big ideas that make a significant contribution to the planet, society, and the bottom line. We believe in today's world this is the best way for our clients to achieve sustainable growth. We achieve this by breaking down the barriers that restrict talent and ideas.

Which is why our teams work fluidly across 5 capabilities: Advertising, Consulting, Experience, PR & Influencer, and Health. This allows us to not only operate but innovate at the intersection of capabilities and talent. We believe impact and magic lies at this intersection. Ogilvy scales this by seamlessly connecting and accessing the deep cultural expertise of 132 offices in 83 countries.

The result is multifaceted ideas for our clients that drive impact and are born from the intersection of platform x culture x technology.

We call this Borderless Creativity.

Ogilvy was ranked the number one UK agency at D&AD and was the only UK agency to win a Glass Lions at Cannes.

Ogilvy was also nominated network of the year in Cannes Lions, Campaign, Effie Awards EMEA, London International Awards, The One Show and WARC Rankings.

In 2022, Ogilvy was the most creatively awarded agency globally - including the most awarded agency at the Clio Awards, DMA Awards, Influencer Marketing Awards, London International Awards and The One Show.

Ogilvy UK's PR practice won large agency of the year at the PR Week awards. And our Consulting practice was in the Forbes 2022 list of best management consultancy firms.

The Role:

We have an exciting opportunity to hire a New Business Executive who will work closely with the New Business Manager as well as supporting a total of 3 New Business Directors - who have their own focus and accountability - and ultimately provide support across the board.

You will be agnostic across our main capabilities (Advertising, Customer Engagement, PR and Consulting, and help shape our outbound Marketing programme), getting stuck into a variety of new business, marketing and events responsibilities.

New Business as a craft is very well respected - all agencies say this, here it's true - within Ogilvy and as such you'll be in contact with and accountable to senior level execs and the C-suite.

We want a New Biz Exec who feels confident around these stakeholders and managing sometimes complex relationships. Everyone in the department is expected to be a real ambassador for Ogilvy.

Team Structure

Under the Chief Growth Officer, there are four New Business Directors and one New Business Manager, along with dedicated design resource.

It is a relatively large department covering multiple capabilities and specialisms within Ogilvy, and as such there's a clear line of reporting as well as opportunity for progression.

The department is hard working, highly professional and fun too.

These are multi-functional roles which may change over time, dependent on growth areas, where you excel and the balance of the team.

Ogilvy believes the key to your career success and the growth of the agency is building roles around our team, focussing your role and development around what you love doing.
