Responsibilities

• Own a portfolio of priority WPP-sourced ES opportunities and ensure every opportunity has a clear owner, route, value case and next action.
• Engage senior agency leaders, GCLs and client-team leads to identify where ES can expand or accelerate existing WPP relationships.
• Convert early signals into qualified ES pursuits, including opportunity briefs, client problem framing, potential solution path and support requirements.
• Define the ES activation support required for each opportunity and route requests into the appropriate ES leaders.
• Coordinate closely with Growth Architecture when a WPP-sourced opportunity is complex, multi-pillar, technical or commercially ambiguous.
• Maintain visibility of active pursuits, blockers, conversion status and escalation needs for the Head of WPP Network Growth.
• Model the expected working standard for the Network Growth team: commercial, low-ego, fast, precise and collaborative.

Requirements

• Senior agency, consulting or enterprise growth leader with proven experience operating across complex matrix organizations.
• Credible with agency leadership, GCLs, client-team leads and senior client stakeholders.
• Strong commercial judgment; can distinguish real ES opportunities from general interest or internal noise.
• Multi-disciplinary literacy across creative, media, CRM, data, AI, commerce, martech, content and platform transformation.
• Excellent writer and briefer; able to turn ambiguity into a focused opportunity narrative quickly.
• AI-enabled working style, using modern tools to accelerate research, synthesis, briefs, POVs and follow-up.
• Low-ego orchestration style; able to influence through the network without creating ownership tension.
