Mumbai
Full-time
Hybrid
Great work brings people to the door, but someone has to open it, read the room, and build the relationship that turns a single film into a decade of them. That is this role. You are the first face agencies and brands meet, and the reason they come back.
This is not cold-call sales. It is relationship-building at the top end of the advertising industry, where taste, credibility and follow-through matter more than a pitch deck.
What you'll do
- Own the pipeline of incoming briefs and proactively build relationships with agencies, brands and marketers.
- Represent First December Films to creative directors, producers and brand teams, in person and at industry events.
- Understand a brief deeply and shape the right response with the creative and production teams.
- Build and send proposals, cost estimates and pitch materials that reflect the quality of the work.
- Track every opportunity from first conversation to signed project.
- Nurture existing client relationships so the second, third and tenth film is a given.
- Feed market intelligence back into the house on what agencies and brands actually want next.
What we're looking for
- 5 to 8 years in business development or client servicing at a production house, ad agency or media company.
- A live network of agency and brand relationships in India.
- A real understanding of how advertising films get commissioned and made.
- Taste, warmth and the credibility to sit across from a senior creative director as an equal.
- A closer who is also a relationship-builder, not one or the other.
Bonus points
- Existing relationships with the major creative agencies and brand marketing teams.
- Experience selling premium or award-level creative work.
