The business world has lost its balance.

At Zebra Growth, we are busy working away to make a world where the good guy wins. Where brands and organisations that truly value positive societal change don’t have to choose between making an impact and financial security. To help find the right balance.

But we can’t do it alone.

We’re on the lookout for the next Zebra to join the dazzle.

So, if you want to help in building a regenerative economy for the future, an economy that values true sustainability, equity, and diversity, then we want to hear from you.

At Zebra Growth, our goal is to become the go-to Growth Marketing and Branding agency for purpose led start-ups and scale-ups around the world. But before we can do that, we need people to know about us. And that, my esteemed friend, is where you come in.

As our Senior Business Development Manager, you will play an integral part in the sustainable growth of our business. Think of yourself as a hunter gatherer – us Zebras need feeding. We will rely on you to be proactive, organised, and outgoing. An excellent communicator with a nose for prospecting. Experience in B2B communications is essential.

This role is not for the shy and retiring, as you will need to be confident in approaching, conversing, and influencing potential clients. That being said, we’re not after the next wolf of wall street. But, if you have the confidence to walk into a room full of strangers and take centre stage, you’ll thrive in this role.

As our first ever Senior Business Development Manager, we will look to you to bring expertise and ideas to the table. To help us to explore new possibilities, and refine our BD process. You will be required to capture all of that lovely information you acquire in our CRM, organising it in a way that makes our sales process efficient and effective.

If you enjoy the thrill of the chase, meeting new people and relish the opportunity to work with emerging purpose-driven startups, this role is for you.
