DEPT® is a Growth Invention company built to help the world’s most ambitious brands grow faster. Operating at the intersection of technology and marketing, our 4,000+ specialists deliver growth invention services across Brand & Media, Experience, Commerce, CRM, and Technology & Data. We’re 50|50 tech and marketing, partner-led, and first to move. Clients include Google, Stokke, Meta, eBay, and OpenAI. We have been certified B Corp and Climate Neutral since 2021. JOB PURPOSE As the Growth Director Creative, you’ll be the commercial engine responsible for driving new business success and exceeding our sales targets within the creative domain. Our creative services expand from brand strategy, creative platforms and big ideas to social, influencer & creator content to creative automation fueled with AI. Will you bring the next high-profile client like BOL, Stokke, or Philips home? In this role, you will be an integral part of the Growth team, spanning our Creative & Media services across the Benelux and Nordics region. You’ll spearhead the development and maintenance of a robust, healthy commercial pipeline and are leading on new/existing opportunities, pitches, tenders, RFI’s and RFP’s and incoming (cross-/up sell) requests. Own the entire sales lifecycle, from initial lead generation and qualification through to the delivery of winning proposals, pitch presentations, and ensuring a seamless client onboarding post-signature. You’ll orchestrate winning solutions by closely collaborating with our specialized strategy, creative, social, media, data, and AI teams to craft the strongest possible, integrated proposals and pitches for both local market leaders and global challenger brands. To thrive as our Growth Director Creative, you must embody an entrepreneurial spirit coupled with a strategic mindset. You are expected to be commercially sharp, relentlessly focused on the highest quality output, and deeply curious. WHAT YOU’LL DO Lead and secure major creative pitches, tenders, RFPs, and incoming new-business requests. Strategically qualify new leads, assemble the optimal 'A-team’, shape a compelling, winning narrative, and ensure a seamless client onboarding for every new account. Build a strong pipeline via networking, round table events and client dinners.  Lead commercial and legal negotiations, with key departments like procurement, in a way that results in happy clients, happy DEPTsters, and profitable growth. Act as the vital link and key facilitator between our international teams, leading and driving creative opportunities and multi-market pitches across the organization. Take ownership and work confidently with executive stakeholders, but you’re not a lone wolf. You collaborate closely with specialist teams, empowering everyone to deliver their best work. Represent DEPT® externally at events, roundtables, client dinners and industry conferences, elevating our brand profile and developing your network.  Actively promote and embed a growth mindset across the organisation and help teams understand how commercial strategy underpins great client work. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR A solid track record in winning new business, backed by a strong network and understanding of the creative industry. Experience with digital media is a pre. Experience leading and orchestrating complex pitches, specifically managing and aligning cross-functional teams (Creative, Strategy, Media, Data, AI) to deliver integrated, winning proposals. Comfortable presenting and able to network with ease (show how you approach this). Naturally well-connected, curious, approachable, and confident when building relationships at executive level. At least 3–5 years’ experience in the creative industry, preferably at an agency. Ambitious, eager to learn, and proactive. Fluent in both Dutch and English, written and spoken. WE OFFER A flexible, hybrid working policy (2-3 days from the office, depending on location) and the opportunity to work from abroad for 13 weeks a year.  24 vacation days per year and the possibility to buy an unlimited number of extra vacation days. DEPT®/YOU Learning Menu and DEPT®/YOU Special Programs. Develop your skills with courses and programs tailored to your needs.
