About the Company:

Our client is a global creative production company; 10+ years, 8,000+ pitches, US$3B+ in secured production budgets across 40+ countries. We deliver pitch decks, campaigns, film development, and AI-hybrid productions through a transparent four-tier service structure, and we pay our creatives fairly by design.

About The Role:

The Company is looking for a Growth Partner (Rainmaker). This is an executive and partner-level position, we are explicitly seeking an entrepreneurial partner or investor mindset, not a traditional employee.

This is not a cold-calling or prospecting seat; our Hunter mechanics manage outbound pipeline logistics. Instead, this role requires principal-level gravitas to leverage an established, high-value network and originate high-ticket engagements (from US$15K+ entries to uncapped AI/VR proofs of concept and VFX-heavy productions).

This is a genuine succession-track mandate. For the right executive who validates their book, this seat is designed to scale into full leadership of the Company’s revenue engine, eventually taking over the Director General’s primary revenue and deal-making functions.

Key Responsibilities:
* You will rapidly deploy your existing network to establish high-level strategic relationships and drive early pipeline velocity.
* You will open doors to senior decision-makers—such as GPs, developers, and brand owners—across target verticals.
* You will register and log every target in the CLCP tracker from the very first touchpoint.
* You will lead the scoping, proposal design, and deal signature for all self-originated opportunities.
* You will collaborate with the Director General, the Creativ Operation Lead and Creative Direco  to co-close premium, high-ticket engagements backed by a world-class delivery infrastructure.
* You will convert initial project entries into long-term partner relationships by crafting custom retainers, multi-project packages, and co-productions.
* You will assume full operational control of the Company’s revenue engine as your performance validates the book of business.
* You will direct and manage dedicated Hunters and Closers to support overall revenue strategy and execution.
Qualifications & Requirements:
* Driven and autonomous, you think like an owner and move seamlessly in the rooms of principals.
* Entrepreneurial in spirit, you act like a business partner rather than an order-taker or traditional employee.
* Comfortable with performance-gated economics, you thrive when rewarded for direct financial impact.
* You operate confidently at the partner or principal level within relationship-driven industries.
* Versed in high-stakes fields, your background spans venture capital, private equity, investment banking, luxury real estate, consulting, SAAS Technology, or production finance.
* Excellent at relationship-building, you rapidly translate network access into active business without lengthy ramp-up periods.
* Adaptable in dynamic settings, you build tailored deal structures and strategic paths where none are pre-scripted.
Culture & Competency Profile:
* High-agency principles, strategic sharpness, and creative courage define our organizational culture.
* Courageous in high-stakes negotiations, you ask for six- and seven-figure commitments without hesitation and place your name and reputation behind the Company.
* Creative in deal design, you invent flexible structures—such as custom retainers and co-productions—beyond standard rate cards to solve complex client needs.
* Growth-oriented by nature, you remain relentlessly focused on expanding the top line and scaling our market presence.
* Analytical in your approach, you evaluate capital cycles and relationship timing to spend your network equity for maximum financial yield.
* Articulate and authoritative, you command peer-level presence while bridging financial concepts and creative vision effortlessly.
* Collaborative with internal teams, you cleanly integrate opportunities into tracking systems and direct support staff effectively.
* Resilient and self-directed, your entrepreneurial energy allows you to build immense value within the company.
We’re Looking For (5 C’s + E):
* Courage (dominant) - High-volume outreach, comfortable with rejection math, initiates contact with senior decision-makers without hesitation.
* Critical Thinking (dominant) - Researches and scores prospects, screens reactivation targets against payment history, runs channel experiments and reads the data.
* Communication - Writes excellent short-form outreach; leads with the tier ladder and a named price anchor.
