Mirror Media Group is a hyper‑local media company serving West Los Angeles through a network of established digital and print publications. We reach hundreds of thousands of local residents each month across email, web, social, and print.

We are hiring a Head of Sales & Publishing Operations to take ownership of revenue execution and publishing operations. This is a senior, hands‑on role for someone who can close deals, enforce calendars, protect cash flow, and grow accounts over time.

This is not a strategy‑only role. This is an ownership role.

• Own advertising sales performance across all MMG platforms.
• Personally close local and regional advertising deals.
• Manage renewals, upsells, and long‑term advertiser relationships.
• Take ownership of the advertising and publishing calendar.
• Coordinate special sections, guides, and campaigns.
• Ensure ads, sponsored content, and campaigns run accurately and on schedule.
• Work closely with editors, design, and production teams to meet deadlines.
• Ensure billing, follow‑up, and collections stay on track.
• Act as the primary point of accountability for revenue and execution.

Editorial content and journalism are handled by our editors. This role does not manage newsroom content.

The right person:

• Has closed small local deals and understands how they compound.
• Has grown accounts into larger, repeatable revenue relationships.
• Is comfortable enforcing deadlines and holding people accountable.
• Is not afraid to follow up on money and protect cash flow.
• Can stabilize day‑to‑day execution before thinking bigger.
• Wants real responsibility, not just a title.

If you look down on $2K–$3K deals, this is not the role for you.

If you understand that strong foundations lead to larger partnerships, you’ll do well here.

• Experience in media sales, advertising, or local business marketing.
• Proven ability to sell and close deals personally.
• Experience managing calendars, deadlines, and multi‑channel campaigns.
• Comfortable owning numbers and being accountable for results.
• Organized, direct, and execution‑focused.
• Local media or agency experience preferred.

$55,000 base salary plus commission and performance bonuses.

Strong performers typically earn $80,000–$130,000+ total compensation based on results.
