About Live The Agency

ℓiⱴε is a Brazilian advertising agency with 20 years of history, specialized in connecting brands to what pulses through culture, a positioning we call Culture Driven. We serve high-impact national and international brands in their markets, including Stanley, Electrolux, Audible, TikTok, Mondelez, and Prime Video.

In Mexico, we are Audible's agency for campaigns and always-on content, and responsible for planning and executing TikTok's always-on strategy in the country.

We are now building our new business operation in Mexico and looking for the first professional dedicated to this front. This is a founding role: you will be responsible for establishing ’s commercial presence in the country from day one.

What You Will Do

• Actively map and prospect business opportunities for the agency in the Mexican market, building a new business pipeline.
• Present ℓiⱴε's credentials to potential clients, representing the agency with a strong command of the Culture Driven positioning and work portfolio.
• Lead briefing sessions with prospects, translating client needs into clear inputs and developing commercial proposals.
• Track and manage open, declined, and approved opportunities (pipeline), ensuring revenue visibility and predictability.
• Serve as an active interface with the Brazil-based New Business team — sharing benchmarks, learnings, co-developing strategies, and aligning on pricing.
• Identify opportunities to expand scope and revenue within existing clients in Mexico (upsell and cross-sell).
• Participate in relevant events, trade shows, and networking initiatives in the local market to increase the agency's awareness and relationship network.
• Report periodically to the Marketing & New Business Acquisition Director with KPIs on prospecting, conversion, and pipeline.

Requirements

• At least 4 years of experience in client services or new business at an advertising, communications, or marketing agency, with a proven track record of winning or growing accounts.
• Advanced/fluent English (native or fluent Spanish is essential for working in Mexico).
• Strong interpersonal and relationship-building skills — ability to forge genuine connections with decision-makers and marketing leaders.
• Strategic vision to identify areas of opportunity, market trends, and business openings.
• Familiarity with the brand and agency ecosystem in the Mexican market.

Nice to Have

• An established network of marketing professionals and decision-makers in Mexico.
• Experience with CRM and pipeline management tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, or similar).
• Knowledge of culture, entertainment, and trends — affinity with pop culture, social media, and consumer behavior.
• Experience or background in multicultural environments or international agencies.

Behavioral Profile

We are looking for someone who combines the energy and initiative of a skilled prospector with the sensitivity of someone who listens and builds long-term relationships.

This person will be responsible for planting ℓiⱴε's roots in Mexico, which requires autonomy, resilience, and genuine interest in brands, culture, and people.

• Entrepreneurial and proactive mindset, comfortable creating structure where none yet exists.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to adapt messaging for different audiences.
• Organization and discipline to manage multiple opportunities simultaneously.
• Cultural curiosity — an active interest in what is happening in culture, media, and consumer behavior in Mexico and globally.

What We Offer

• 100% remote work, with flexible hours and no micromanagement. You will own your agenda and be measured by results.
• Direct integration with ’s Brazil-based leadership team, including weekly alignment calls, shared case studies, and access to a portfolio of global brand work spanning 20 years.
• Dedicated support from Brazil’s New Business and Finance teams for pricing, proposal development, contract structuring, and negotiations, so you are never working a pitch alone.
• A real founding opportunity: you will be the first person dedicated exclusively to new business in Mexico, with direct influence over the agency’s commercial strategy and growth in the country.
• A budget for local networking, events, and market-building activities, because we know that relationships in Mexico require physical presence and genuine investment.
