JOB DESCRIPTION

As VP, Growth (Mid-Market), you are the hunter for Jellyfish's mid-market segment. This is an outward-facing, new-logo role: you will spend the majority of your time prospecting, networking, and running a disciplined outbound motion to build and convert a pipeline of mid-market brands that need integrated creative, media, and data solutions.

You'll retain the core disciplines of the broader Growth Capability — consultative solutioning, rigorous pipeline management, and accurate forecasting — but your mandate is weighted heavily toward opening doors and closing net-new accounts rather than managing a small number of large, existing strategic partnerships. You will work closely with creative, media, and data capability leads to shape compelling integrated pitches, and you will be accountable for hitting a net-new revenue growth target for the mid-market segment.

Mid-market opportunities will typically be defined by Jellyfish's agreed client segmentation criteria, based on factors such as potential annual revenue, scope complexity, and overall commercial opportunity.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES

NEW BUSINESS & HUNTING

• Proactively prospect and build a self-sourced pipeline of mid-market brands, going well beyond inbound leads — outbound outreach, referrals, events, and your own network are the primary engine of this role.
• Represent Jellyfish to potential clients through face-to-face meetings, calls, and email outreach, with a bias toward action and volume of activity.
• Confidently engage decision-makers (CMO, VP Marketing, Head of Growth and equivalents) at mid-market brands and hold your own in early-stage conversations.
• Qualify opportunities quickly, identify commercial fit, and prioritize a healthy, well-ranked pipeline of net-new logos.
• Own the new-business sales cycle from first outreach through to signed contract, keeping deal velocity high and cycle times short relative to enterprise sales.
• Represent Jellyfish at relevant industry and networking events to build a visible presence in the mid-market space and generate warm introductions.

internal specialists (creative, media, data) quickly around a prospect's needs without formal authority over those teams.

• Clear, confident communicator, able to present to founder/C-level stakeholders at mid-market companies.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Demonstrated track record of new-business hunting and closing net-new clients, ideally within an agency, media, or martech environment.
• Proven ability to build and manage a self-sourced pipeline, not solely reliant on inbound or partner-referred leads.
• Strong proficiency with Salesforce or comparable CRM platforms.
• Comfortable presenting to and negotiating with senior stakeholders across a range of company sizes.
• Familiarity with social media and market-insight tools to support prospecting and account research.

Note: We emphasize skills, expertise, and behavioral attributes over years of experience and traditional degrees.
