• Work closely with internal editorial, production and account teams to ensure campaigns run smoothly.
• Identify opportunities to grow existing accounts through cross-selling and additional advertising formats.
• Keep up to date with market trends and advertiser needs to help generate new revenue.
• Work towards individual and team sales targets, contributing to the wider commercial success of the business.

• Previous experience in sales, ideally within media, advertising, publishing or a related commercial environment.
• Confident communicating with clients, agencies and other stakeholders.
• Commercially aware, with the ability to recognise opportunities and turn conversations into sales.

• Exposure to a broad mix of advertising formats, including print, digital, newsletters, branded content and podcasts.
• A varied role combining existing account development with new-business opportunities.
• The chance to build your experience in media sales within a supportive team.
• Opportunities to develop your commercial skills and grow client relationships over time.
