£65-85k p.a. DOE + bonus up to 10% of base

Brand Hackers

We build experienced, dynamic, and fractional teams that fit in like puzzle pieces-providing just the right knowledge and energy at the right time. We're not your typical agency or a one-man show; we're a team of passionate professionals who eat, sleep, and breathe branding and marketing.

Our diverse team of experts covers all marketing mix elements, from performance and social media to web development and beyond. With over 100 brands under our belt, our Brand Hackers have a treasure trove of shared experiences. This wealth of knowledge fuels our creativity and gives us the edge.

We've grown between 30% and 50% a year every year since launch in 2020. We have a strong reputation, brand awareness and true product-market-fit. Now, we're looking for a Commercial Director to lead the next stage of our revenue growth, setting the strategy, getting contracts signed and building lasting client partnerships.

The Role: Commercial Director

As the Commercial Director, you'll be responsible for driving substantial revenue growth by developing and executing a results-driven sales strategy. You will set the commercial vision and play a key role in maintaining and building relationships with clients, partners, and stakeholders. We need to grow fast, but carefully - protecting our margins, our culture, our reputation and our talent.

You'll work directly with the Founder, who is hands-on in the sales process, and the Head of Marketing who manages the delivery team, ensuring our whole organisation is aligned with the growth strategy. Key to your success in this role will be your ability to lead a sales function, starting with a Sales Manager and setting the team up to drive growth within their roles.

You will need to be passionate about the brands we work with, obsessed with the startup marketing landscape, and be excited about working in a fast-paced, dynamic service environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Achieve 50% revenue growth YOY, hitting £3 million revenue target by end of 2026.
• Build and execute a clear, results-driven sales strategy that aligns with our growth goals.
• Foster strong, long-term client partnerships, ensuring that Brand Hackers remains a trusted partner.
• Lead and scale the sales team (initially with one direct report), ensuring processes are in place to support growth.
• Identify commercial partnership opportunities that enhance our service offering and deliver measurable impact.
• Collaborate closely with the Head of Marketing to ensure that all clients onboard successfully and are set up for long-term success.
• Protect margin while scaling our services.
• Play a very active role in the leadership team of both Brand Hackers and Up Collective.
