Qualify the Right Opportunities. Align Teams. Win More Business.

This is not a traditional sales role!

As a Business Development Manager at EVOQ, you are the front door to revenue - the person who decides which opportunities are worth pursuing for your assigned agencies and ensures we win the right ones.

You will sit at the intersection of strategy, sales, and operations, working across multiple high-performing agencies to qualify, shape, and convert new business opportunities.

Your impact is direct: better opportunities, stronger pitches, higher win rates.

Let us introduce ourselves:

EVOQ is not a holding company.

It is a strategic collective of best-in-class, independently owned marketing agencies including Brandon that share a common standard of excellence, a culture of innovation, and a commitment to client success. Each agency operates independently but is united by a shared belief: that collaboration, specialization, and strategic alignment can create marketing that outperforms expectations.

EVOQ offers:

• Access to elite, discipline-specific expertise across the marketing ecosystem
• A flexible model: a la carte services or fully integrated solutions
• Scalable resources without the red tape of traditional holding companies
• A culture grounded in ownership, accountability, and entrepreneurial energy
• The freedom to innovate, evolve, and lead-not follow

• Ensure every proposal is strategic, tailored, and high-quality
• Occasionally lead or co-lead pitch presentations

Manage and Strengthen the Sales Engine

• Partner with leadership to shape scopes, pricing, and proposals
• Ensure seamless transition from sale to account management
• Continuously improve processes through feedback and insights

• Strong conversion rates on qualified leads (target: 30%+)
• Consistent, on-time, high-quality proposals

• Exceptional prospect experience from first contact to onboarding

What We're Looking For

• Team orchestration: Skilled at coordinating cross-functional teams, aligning stakeholders, and driving progress across multiple workstreams
• Execution discipline: Ensures timelines, deliverables, and internal alignment are consistently met without gaps

Mindset

• Sharp, curious, and decisive in evaluating fit and guiding conversations
• Acts as the central driver of momentum - aligning teams, structuring the work, and ensuring nothing stalls or slips
• Thrives in a fast paced ever changing environment.
• Holds a high bar for execution, accountability, and measurable outcomes
