Commercial Manager

About the role

SUMMARY
Tug is a global Digital Performance Marketing agency specializing in paid search, display, search engine optimization, social media & data analytics.

Headquartered in London with offices in Toronto, Sydney and Berlin – with new offices opening in Singapore & NYC in 2022 - Tug services an impressive roster of Blue Chip and Fortune 500 clients. In 2021 we grew 30% globally and aim to improve on that in 2022. Last year the Sydney office tripled in size, and we moved into a great new office (with a pool table!) on Reservoir Street.

We are looking for a Commercial Manager with experience selling media and marketing services to senior clients, a Sydney network of Blue Chip connections, a proven depth of knowledge in the Digital Media space, and the Marketing acumen to position Tug as a digital leader in Sydney and across APAC

 

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
In this role, the Commercial Manager will be responsible for positioning Tug as a leader in the Australian marketplace by leveraging the successes to date in Australia and globally.

You will be focused on growing the new business pipeline through inbound & outbound activity as well as networking. You will also need to mentor and set targets for a junior sales executive focused on outbound email & telephone campaigns. The successful candidate will also lead the development, management and execution of the marketing strategy for the Australian market – including managing our PR agency, external event sponsorship and Tug Life series events.

If you’re the best fit for this role, you’re a natural leader with strong business development acumen. You’re excited by the prospect of being able to bring your creative and entrepreneurial energy to an organization with a track record but who has room to grow. You have solid relationships in place with Blue Chip companies and you’re excited to bring them to an organization that you’ll have a hand in building and designing.
