Closing: September 25th 2026NEW BUSINESS ROLE
London | Full-time | Hybrid
Partizan is one of the world’s leading creative production companies, with a rich heritage across music videos, commercials, documentaries, feature films, animation, digital and branded content.
With offices in London, Paris and Los Angeles, we represent a world-class roster of directors and work with some of the most ambitious brands, agencies and creative talent in the world.
But we’re not interested in standing still.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We’re looking for someone to rethink what new business can look like at a production company.
This isn’t a traditional sales role. We’re looking for someone commercially minded, creatively curious and plugged into culture. Someone who can spot an opportunity before it becomes a brief, make connections where others might not, and find new ways to put Partizan and our directors in front of the right people.
You’ll help shape our new business strategy, working closely with our existing sales team, senior management and directors to build relationships, develop opportunities and raise the profile of Partizan.
We want someone who looks beyond the obvious: Who should we be talking to? What should we be talking to them about? And how can we make them want to talk to us?
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
• Develop and lead an ambitious new business strategy across brands, agencies and emerging creative opportunities.
• Build relationships with the people shaping advertising, entertainment and culture, from established agency creatives to the next generation of talent.
• Work closely with directors to understand their creative worlds, ambitions and strengths, and turn those into compelling opportunities.
• Strategise with directors and senior management around where they should be seen, who they should meet and what conversations we should be creating around their work.
• Find new clients, industries, platforms, collaborators and routes into the business, not just the obvious ones.
• Build and manage a strong pipeline, from the first introduction through to meaningful commercial opportunities.
• Lead and support our small new business team, bringing energy, structure and fresh thinking to how we work.
• Create engaging presentations, meetings and creative conversations that feel like Partizan rather than generic sales pitches.
• Keep a close eye on advertising, film, music, fashion, art, technology and popular culture, identifying opportunities for Partizan and our directors.
• Help organise screenings, events and other initiatives that build relationships and strengthen our presence in the industry.
• Set ambitious commercial goals, track progress and turn ideas into tangible opportunities.
WHO YOU ARE
You might come from new business, production, an agency, talent management, partnerships, strategy — or somewhere we haven’t thought of yet.
What matters is how you think.
You’re:
• Commercially sharp, but understand that the best relationships aren’t built by simply selling.
• Creative in your approach to business, with an instinct for finding the less obvious route into a conversation.
• A natural networker who genuinely enjoys meeting people and making connections.
• Culturally curious, with a strong interest in film, music, advertising, art, fashion, technology and what’s happening around them.
• Strategic and proactive, able to see the bigger picture while getting stuck into the detail.
• A strong communicator and storyteller, comfortable talking to everyone from a CMO or ECD to a director or new contact over coffee.
• Collaborative, with the ability to lead a small team and bring people together.
• Director-minded, interested in the people behind the work and what makes each director distinctive.
• Energetic and resilient, with the instinct to find another door when the obvious one is closed.
Experience in a similar new business or commercial role is useful, and an existing network across advertising, brands or the creative industries is a bonus. But we’re equally interested in people who can demonstrate that they know how to build relationships and create opportunities from scratch.
WHY PARTIZAN?
We’re an ambitious team with the scale, reputation and creative firepower of a global production company.
You’ll work directly with our directors and senior management, have the freedom to experiment with how we approach new business, and play a real part in defining what Partizan is known for next.
If you’re excited by the idea of building something rather than simply selling something, we’d like to hear from you.
THE OFFER
• Competitive salary
• Hybrid working and flexible hours
• Full-time role based in our Shoreditch office, London
• The opportunity to work with an exceptional roster of international directors
• Real scope to shape the next phase of Partizan’s new business strategy
