Senior manager

Company Description Paperclip & Co is a social media agency that serves as a one-stop partner for brands looking to establish a strong digital presence. The team specializes in experiential marketing, helping clients connect with potential customers and build a distinct brand identity across relevant social platforms. With a young, trend-aware team, the agency focuses on raw, authentic, and creative content that reflects each brand’s voice. Paperclip & Co is passionate about the brands it works with and is dedicated to helping clients elevate their social media strategy and impact.

This is not a management role in the traditional sense. This is the person who understands the business as well as the founder does — and acts accordingly.

As Senior Manager — Strategy & Operations, you will be the operational and strategic backbone of Paperclip & Co. You will lead business development, oversee all content and creative output, manage client relationships, and ensure the agency runs smoothly on every level — from approving team leaves to signing off on work before it goes to a client.

You will work directly with the founder and will have full visibility across all agency functions — accounts, finance, people, and creative. The right person for this role is someone who has done serious work in a marketing agency or brand environment, understands what excellent looks like, and is ready to take real ownership.

What you'll own:
• Business Development
• Lead all new business conversations from first contact to signed contract
• Identify and pursue new client opportunities across target categories
• Develop pitch decks, proposals, and capability presentations
• Represent Paperclip & Co at industry events and networking forums
• Track and report on BD metrics — leads, conversion rates, revenue pipeline
