Senior Manager New Business & Strategic Growth (m/f/d)

PIABO grows sustainably when we are in conversation with the right people at the right time. It is not enough to wait for pitch inquiries.
We want to understand relevant markets early, build relationships long-term, and develop suitable mandates from good contacts.
What we need for this: a person who understands New Business as a strategic craft. Who reads the market, assesses opportunities, and follows up reliably. And who speaks with decision-makers from technology, venture capital, innovation, and corporate communications at eye level.

This is your responsibility:

• Pipeline and Market: You will build a robust new business pipeline, identify relevant decision-makers, and recognize early on when an opportunity opens up for PIABO through financing rounds, new leadership roles, market entries, or other changes.
• Contacts and Relationships: You will develop suitable occasions for discussion, build relationships with potential clients, investors, partners, and multipliers, and represent PIABO in relevant networks and at events.
• Qualification: You will assess opportunities early and thoroughly. Budget, timing, scope, decision-making process, cultural fit, and strategic potential will be clarified before we deploy larger resources.
• Pitch Processes: You will manage pitches together with management and our consulting teams. You will ensure that the briefing, team, roles, schedule, preparation, and follow-up are correct.
• Growth System: You will connect New Business with PR, Thought Leadership, Events, LinkedIn, Partnerships, and Public Tenders.
• Structure and Evaluation: You will further develop CRM, target lists, and follow-ups, and evaluate which contacts, leads, and pitches lead to suitable mandates.

• PIABO, our services, and our market: You will get to know our consulting teams, clients, industries, and growth areas in detail.
• AI and Further Development: You will participate in our AI Bootcamp and develop yourself professionally and personally through the PIABO Academies.

• You have relevant experience in New Business, Business Development, Growth, B2B Sales, Client Development, or Consulting. You know the agency business, a communication consultancy, strategy consultancy, creative agency, tech agency, or a comparable B2B environment. You know how agencies grow and how to evaluate opportunities before they tie up time and resources.
• You can speak with CEOs, CMOs, founder teams, and investors at eye level. You have a good feel for people, timing, and relevance, write clearly, and follow up reliably. Acquisition energizes you without appearing pushy in sales.
• You work in a structured and consistent manner. CRM, target lists, contact points, follow-ups, and clear routines are the basis of good work for you. You know pitches, RFIs, RFPs, chemistry meetings, engagement workshops, and public tenders from practical experience.

• An unlimited full-time position with direct access to management and real scope for action.
• The chance to build a new business system that fits PIABO's next growth phase.
• A role with visibility in relevant markets, networks, and technology ecosystems.
• AI Upskilling as standard: AI Bootcamp, Tools Stack, and the freedom to truly improve your work area with AI.
• Apple equipment, Urban Sports Club, Jobrad, and company pension plan.
• And a few more good reasons, which we will gladly tell you in person.
