Growth Director, New Business

Studio North•North Chicago, IL

About The Position

We're hiring a new business growth leader. This is a diagnostician who closes — someone who earns trusted-advisor standing with senior buyers, spots the commercial opportunity others walk past, and then personally carries the deal to signature. You'll own new business growth end to end — you find it, shape it, and close it — and you'll do it with an AI-savvy team and deep industry strategists at your side.

Requirements

You've personally opened and grown accounts you can name — with the numbers and the story of the engagements you've led.
You build real credibility at every level of a client organization.
You've spotted commercial opportunity others missed, and you can walk us through exactly how you saw it.
You can hold a credible, current conversation about AI and growth with a sophisticated buyer — today.
You've carried a number and closed against it.
