Blink Twice is a London-based branding studio helping ambitious startups unlock their story and unleash it into bold, strategic design. We build brands that do more than look good. They drive growth, attract talent, and earn belief.

We are looking for a highly driven Business Development Lead to join our founding team in London.

• Strategic outbound: Identify recently funded startups and high-growth companies that align with Blink Twice’s creative vision, and execute targeted outreach.
• Lead qualification: Act as the first point of contact. Qualify prospects to ensure they have the ambition and budget for our services, and tee them up for strategy calls with the Creative Director.
• Strategic positioning: Understand our tiered studio offerings to recommend the right entry point for prospective clients.

• Commercially ambitious and eager to grow alongside a high-ticket creative studio.
• Strong understanding of the startup landscape, venture funding, and how modern founders communicate.
• Experience in a startup, agency, or high-ticket sales environment.
• Highly organised and process-driven, ensuring no lead slips through the cracks.
