Director of New Business

$125K-200K+ Base | $250K-500K+ OTE | EQUITY OPPORTUNITY Director of New Business Hitch | In-Person or Remote (U.S.) Help Us Build One of the Best Independent Creative Agencies in the World. We're looking for someone who's spent years at some of the biggest agencies in the world, has relationships with major brands, and is ready to build something of their own. Maybe you're tired of the holding company world. The politics, the layers of approvals, and helping grow an agency you don't actually own. You know how to win business. You have the relationships. You've been in the room with some of the biggest brands in the world. Now you want to do it somewhere you can actually make an impact. Hitch is an independent creative agency based in Austin, Texas. We bring strategy, creative, production, social, and paid media together under one roof. We've grown quickly (100% YOY), built an incredible team, and have much bigger ambitions for where we're going. We're looking for someone who wants to be a part of this journey. What You'll Be Doing Getting Hitch in the room with some of the biggest brands in the world. Opening doors through your existing relationships with CMOs, marketing executives, and brand decision-makers. Identifying major RFPs, agency reviews, campaigns, and branded entertainment opportunities before everyone else knows about them. Leading new business pitches, proposals, and negotiations alongside our founders and creative team. Building a pipeline of major accounts and multimillion-dollar opportunities. Helping shape our growth strategy and eventually building out our new business department. Who We're Looking For 5-10+ years of experience at major creative, advertising, or integrated agencies. A proven track record of winning significant accounts with nationally or globally recognized brands. Strong, active relationships with CMOs, marketing leaders, and senior decision-makers. Someone who knows how to get into competitive pitches and actually win them. Deep understanding of creative, branding, production, social, and paid media. Someone who's extremely well-connected, proactive, competitive, and knows how to make things happen. Strong presentation, relationship-building, and negotiation skills. Most importantly, someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who wants to help build a company, not just have another job. Compensation & Opportunity We're looking for someone exceptional, and we're willing to pay for it. Base Salary: $125K-200K+, depending on experience and relationships. On-Target Earnings: $250K-500K+ annually, including uncapped commission. Significant Upside: Top performers bringing in major accounts have the potential to earn $500K-1M+ annually. Equity: We're open to offering meaningful ownership in Hitch to the right person who wants to build with us long-term. Location: Remote anywhere in the U.S., ideally NYC, LA, or Austin. Travel as needed. Why Hitch? We've spent the last several years building the team, capabilities, and foundation to compete with much larger agencies. Now we want to take a serious step forward. We don't want someone who's just going to wait for inbound leads or respond to RFPs that everyone else is already pitching. We want someone who knows what's happening in the industry, has the relationships to hear about opportunities early, and can pick up the phone and get us in the room. You’ll work directly with our founders, have a real say in the company's direction, and have the opportunity to build an entirely new business division. And unlike most agencies, we're willing to put actual ownership on the table. This is a unique opportunity for someone who's spent their career growing other people's agencies and wants to help build something they can actually own. #J-18808-Ljbffr Hitch
