Job Description

Eleanor is a global creative company built on taste, rigour, and a rare gift for discovering greatness. With offices in Santa Monica and Soho's golden square, we work across commercials, music videos, entertainment, and brand content-crafting cinematic work with cultural relevance and creative ambition. This year, we were named Gerety's Production Company of the Year and returned to the Ad Age A-List. Now, we're looking for a brilliant New Business Director to help us grow our presence in the UK market.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a dynamic, relationship-driven individual to lead new business efforts out of our London office. This role is about more than outreach-it's about presence.

  • Develop a smart and strategic outreach plan aligned with Eleanor's vision and voice
  • Tracking pitch opportunities and proactively connecting the right talent to the right briefs
  • Representing Eleanor at key industry events, screenings, and social gatherings
  • Collaborating closely with the President and Executive Producers to shape sales priorities
  • Supporting press, newsletter, and PR moments with strategic distribution and follow-up
  • Monitoring market activity to help shape Eleanor's positioning
Who You Are
  • A natural connector with a confident, grounded presence
  • Culturally fluent in advertising, film, and the arts-with a sharp sense of taste
  • Someone who thrives in a high-trust, entrepreneurial environment
  • An excellent communicator with a strategic mind and hands-on spirit
  • A self-starter who's excited by growth, and energised by people
  • Ideally 3+ years experience in a new business or partnerships role within advertising, creative, or adjacent sectors
  • Media Production
Employment Type
