At WALKING BRANDS, we are more than just experts –
we bring decades of experience to the table.

Senior Business Development Manager: From accelerator to partner – build our next growth boost!

The House of Arts Group – with its power brands WALKING BRANDS, Sundays Studios, and Sons of Strategy – is on a mission to holistically redefine brands. We are growing rapidly and are not looking for a salesperson, but rather an entrepreneurial architect (m/f/d) who can strategically plan our growth, form a network, and translate ideas into measurable business cases.

If you combine analytical acumen with a passion for relationships and want to have a direct influence on the group’s strategy, then this is your chance to shape your own career growth.

Your mission: Put group growth in the fast lane
As our Senior Business Development Manager, you will report directly to the management and immediately take on the responsibility of leading our group into the next league. Your performance is the benchmark for your rapid promotion.

• The hunting instinct: You are the driving force behind the active acquisition of new and existing customers and open up new business areas for all three agencies of the HOA Group.
• The architect: You independently develop the sales strategy, the networking roadmap, and concrete new business plans in close coordination with all units.
• The networker: You expand and maintain our relevant network at the highest level and transform potential contacts into long-term, strategic customer partnerships.
• The persuader: You pitch with passion—at trade shows, events, and directly to customers—and manage to translate complex agency services into emotional and relevant brand solutions.
• The thinker & leader: You deliver substance—through reporting, in-depth market analyses, and concrete, data-based growth ideas that you put directly into practice.

Your profile: Entrepreneurship in your DNA
You see yourself as a business driver and view every challenge as an opportunity. You have solid experience and unbeatable drive.

• Senior experience with a focus on new business: You have several years of proven success in sales or business development, ideally in a dynamic agency or marketing environment.
• Strategic thinking & brand understanding: You understand complex brand requirements and know how to charge them with creative, clear concepts and emotional relevance.
• Communication that inspires: You impress with outstanding negotiation skills, are proactive, and are a relationship pro.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: High self-motivation, assertiveness, and the ability to maintain an overview and stay focused on the goal during turbulent phases.
• An existing, relevant network in the target markets is a strong plus.

Your impact: What you can expect at the HOA Group
We offer you the playground for your next career leap. We don’t have rigid structures, just space for your ideas and your success.

• Direct influence and creative freedom: You will work in direct consultation with management and have the opportunity to actively shape the development and expansion of the entire group.
• Maximum flexibility and autonomy: You decide when, how, and where you implement your measures. Independent action is the basis of our collaboration.
• Fast career advancement opportunities: Your performance is the only benchmark for your career path. In our ambitious, growing environment, rapid steps towards partnership or management level are realistic.
• Attractive, performance-based salary: An above-average salary package that rewards your contribution to the company’s success in a fair and transparent manner.
• Culture: A dynamic, creative environment that encourages courage, attitude, and entrepreneurial thinking.
