We are looking for a high-energy, relationship-driven leader to spearhead our Client Servicing and Business Development function.

As our Head of Client Servicing & Business Development , you will play a dual, high-impact role. You will be the face of the agency to enterprise clients, leveraging your pre-existing corporate network to bring in new accounts while taking charge of client retention, account growth, and strategic campaign direction.

• Pitch & Win: Lead strategic client pitches, from understanding client briefs to presenting creative, budget-aligned experiential proposals.
• Revenue Ownership: Own the top-line growth target for the agency, driving revenue across MICE (incentive trips, offsites, conferences) and large-scale corporate events (product launches, town halls, gala nights).
• Incentive Earnings: Earn direct, lucrative commission on the top-line/bottom-line revenue generated through your accounts.

2. Client Servicing & Account Strategy (The "Farmer")

• Build Lasting Partnerships: Act as a trusted strategic advisor to CXOs, Marketing Heads, and Corporate Communication leads, moving from a transactional vendor relationship to a long-term agency partner.
• Account Expansion: Identify upselling and cross-selling opportunities within active accounts to maximize annual client spend.
• Quality Assurance: Ensure creative decks and event briefs handed over to the Head of Events and Operations accurately capture client expectations, brand guidelines, and compliance needs.

3. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Leadership

• Bridge the Gap: Work hand-in-hand with the Head of Events , Head of Operations , and the Director to ensure financial feasibility, profitability, and operational feasibility before pitches are finalized.
• Post-Event Governance: Lead post-event reviews with clients, gather feedback, and ensure smooth financial sign-offs and timely billing cycles with our Accounts team.

• Industry Experience: 7–10+ years of proven experience in Client Servicing, Account Management, or Business Development within the Experiential Marketing, MICE, or Corporate Events industry in Mumbai.
• Active Client Roster: A strong, existing network of corporate decision-makers (HR, Admin, Marketing, Brand Management) looking for a reliable event partner.
• Pitching Mastery: Exceptional presentation skills and the ability to command a room, tell a story, and sell experiential creative concepts effectively.
