With offices in Chicago, New York and San Francisco, VSA offers a full range of fully integrated capabilities—branding, advertising, data science and technology—all under one roof. VSA is also a proud member of Meet The People, an international family of unified and independent agencies.

Role overview

Our team is on a mission to drive scalable growth through a proactive, intelligence-driven growth engine that integrates brand, demand, and data to create measurable pipeline impact.

The Business Development Coordinator is the operational linchpin of VSA’s Growth Engine.
You’ll manage and optimize the interconnected tech stack that powers VSA’s proactive marketing and outbound ecosystem — ensuring the stack works seamlessly to generate, nurture, and convert high-quality leads.

You’ll also support the execution and reporting of the Growth + Marketing Plan, ensuring every campaign, lead, and outbound effort is tracked, measurable, and revenue-linked.

This is an ideal role for a detail-driven, analytically minded builder who thrives on systems, precision, and operational excellence, and wants to play a key role in scaling an agency’s growth infrastructure.

Key responsibilitiesGrowth engine operations
  • Manage the day-to-day operation of the Growth Engine tech stack:

    • Monitor inbound traffic and identify ICP-aligned accounts.
    • Maintain CRM (HubSpot) data integrity, manage automation workflows, and ensure campaign attribution.
    • Track buying signals and help prioritize target accounts.
  • Own list hygiene and segmentation across all systems — keeping ICP (Ideal Client Profile) tiers accurate, current, and prioritized.
  • Support outbound efforts: 
    • Campaign setup and QA, ensuring automation, triggers, and follow-ups are compliant and executed flawlessly.
Marketing and growth support
  • Partner with Growth and Marketing leadership to support the execution of the Growth + Marketing Plan, including campaign setup, attribution tagging, and KPI tracking.
  • Support conference and event lead capture
    • Upload and manage lists, tag campaign codes, and align outbound follow-ups
    • Set meetings for conferences
  • Collect and track market intelligence for the growth team, organizing and categorizing sales lead information

  • Assist in sales collateral, proposal development, and meeting preparation
  • Assist in tracking thought leadership and PR outputs (SEO tagging, gated content, newsletter management)
  • Maintain cadence for reporting cycles — weekly Growth Standups, monthly channel reviews, and quarterly pipeline forecasts
  • Stay informed about industry trends, competitive landscape, and emerging technologies to effectively position our consultative services and refine outbound strategies
Data and reporting
  • Maintain CRM accuracy and integrations across all platforms in the tech stack.
  • Build and update dashboards for:
    • MQL/SQL volume by channel
    • Outbound engagement and conversion rates
    • Lead-to-meeting velocity
    • Pipeline attribution and ROI by source
  • Surface insights and opportunities for optimization and identify friction points and efficiency gaps.
What we’re open to seeing
  • BA/BS degree in a related field.
  • 3+ years of business-related or client-facing experience; background in sales, marketing, consulting, or media is a plus.
  • Strong project management and organizational skills.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
  • A proven track record of exceeding goals and striving to be a top performer.
  • Self-motivated, analytical, and highly detail-oriented.
  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and pace — thrives in a dynamic, evolving environment.
  • Professional presence with the ability to represent VSA in client-facing interactions.
  • Positive, resilient mindset with a passion for learning and growth.
  • Strong time management and prioritization skills with a bias toward action.
  • Experience working with Salesforce, HubSpot, or other CRM platforms.
  • Prior experience with Inside Sales, B2B Sales, Lead Generation, and Prospecting is a strong plus.
Success Looks Like
  • The Growth Engine tech stack operates as a unified, insight-driven system.
  • Outbound consistency and cadence compliance improve across the team.
  • CRM and attribution reporting are automated, accurate, and actionable.
  • Campaigns launch on time and lead data flows cleanly from capture to conversion.
  • The Growth team makes faster, smarter, data-informed decisions that drive measurable revenue outcomes.

What We Do

VSA is a hybrid brand strategy and design agency. We partner with business, strategic and creative leaders, combining our strategic consulting with design-driven experiences to solve business problems and realize the future of a brand. As a hybrid agency, we blend consumer insights and data with the craft of design to activate the most meaningful, motivating and measurable experiences.

For VSA employees as well as those we recruit, we’ve adopted a long-term hybrid model that allows people to define their way of working in the way they want. This means that VSAers can work from anywhere in the United States—home, office or any place in between. Working from anywhere gives VSAers the option to find time to work alone, join others for office-based collaboration, or meet up as needed for small-group moments and client meetings. We’re also hiring with geographic “neutrality”—pursuing the best talent wherever it may live. We think having a workplace option matters most these days: Employees benefit from human interaction and the need for a change in scenery from time to time. And also, VSA benefits from a diversity of experiences and perspectives that come from seeing and participating in the larger world. All of which is why we see our offices in Chicago, New York and San Francisco as a flexible, accessible network of workspace hubs for employees to use as needed for work and interaction with colleagues.
