Would you like a media role with a more solid weight towards inbound and account management (Only 30% new business)? Maybe you’re working in media sales across digital and print formats and seeking a role with more flexibility for home-based working (Just one or two days a week in London)? Perhaps you’ve been living and working in London and are keen for a role that will allow you the flexibility to live outside the M25 and not be hit with heavy commuting costs. We’re working with an award-winning media sales business, with a whole range of products from events and magazines to e-newsletters, banner advertising, email marketing and branded content. This is a company that looks after its staff and takes pride in being recognised as the best in the industry. The Media Sales Manager role is a hybrid of managing existing accounts and inbound enquiries (70%) and targeting new business, in niche B2B sectors with established customers and readerships in particular fields. You will need to be an intelligent consultative salesperson, with the ability to maximise contracts, but also pitch and develop new ideas for businesses. Creativity is praised and nurtured, and ideas for solutions are always welcome. Applicants must have a minimum of 2-3 years of media sales experience with a proven background selling digital solutions, given the nature of the role candidates will be expected to hit the ground running. Due to the flexible nature of the position, the successful candidate will most likely be based outside of London in Hertfordshire, Essex, Buckinghamshire or Berkshire, though candidates located within the city will also be considered. If you would like more information don’t hesitate to send us your CV or give us a call, we suspect the role will be popular and available for a limited time only.

How would you like to sell cutting-edge technology in a market with no competitors? A product that can save customers millions of pounds in lost revenue, not to mention enforcing the quality and reputation of their brand. If this sounds interesting and you’re keen to take a role with no commission thresholds, then this role could be for you. We’re excited to be working with a unique PAAS (Product-as-a-Service) provider as they seek a business development manager to join their team, selling their unique product into the hospitality (specifically hotels) sector. This is a complex selling process that can take time, and as such an intelligent and motivated salesperson who is happy selling by video, phone and F2F is essential. As you will be required to travel and meet with clients regularly, the role is UK-centric but could require overseas travel from time to time. Applicants must have experience selling an ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) product into the hotel sector, and ideally PAAS or SAAS. Additionally you must also have experience of selling into multiple contact points such as GM, Operations and Procurement as the decisions makers, and decision making process can vary greatly. Candidates who do not have this experience will not be considered for the position. For 3 days in each of the first 2 weeks you will be office-based on a training course, following that, you would be based from home and travelling to their office in the south on average twice a month (occasionally 3 times when there is a quarterly review). You’ll likely have extensive experience already in a home-based position and be happy and motivated working in an autonomous role. Ideally, you will be located within 2.5 hours of London as this would often be an area you would attend on client visits. A little further could be considered but not remote areas such as the North East, Scotland, and the deep South West. The role will be fully supported with tech (laptop/phone), HubSpot, and sales LI navigator if wanted and used. For an initial period, you will get qualified leads from their SDR team, though I would add this is not a purely inbound position, and you will also be expected to self-generate leads. After some time, it’s expected that you will be so busy managing your pipeline that you will no longer need leads, as has been evident with other salespeople within the business. If this sounds like a position you could be interested in then please send us your CV today and if you have the required product and industry experience, we will be in touch quickly for a chat.

Anybody can enjoy selling, and get a buzz out of the deal. But it’s always much better if you can enjoy learning about the product and industry you are in, and as such rather than be a salesperson, be viewed as an influencer, a trader in audiences, able to connect leading international technology brands with the voices in their industry. And this is exactly what we need, a salesperson alone won’t be able to do this job. We need somebody intelligent and eager to learn, ideally who enjoys technology and science, somebody who can get their head around a varied digital portfolio and really understand what it can offer,  who it can reach, and in turn communicate this articulately. This position will be heading up the sales of a variety of digital products and marketing services reaching on niche scientific audiences across a portfolio of media/advertising brands. Targeting mainly Tier 1 businesses seeking engagement with scientists, technical experts and buyers across the globe. This is a highly consultative B2B media sales role and as such would suit candidates with previous experience of selling brand exposure/lead generation B2B marketing content services such as sponsorship, media and exhibitions. The products you will be selling could vary across branded content,  round tables, webinars, podcasts, data, email campaigns, banner advertising. You will be given a pool of existing clients where you will be targeted on renewals and growth, as well as a pool of previous clients from the past few years where you will be looking to re-book/re-engage their brands for future business, and as well as this you will also be required to target and close new business across set demographics of companies. This is a complex sell, sometimes with long sales cycles, and as such you must be professional, patient, articulate and most importantly willing to learn and get involved within the industries you will represent. This is a fantastic role with many benefits, such as international travel, and a relaxed and friendly working environment. The role is predominantly home based, and as such you will only be expected to attend the office 1 day per week in Cambridge. However there will be trips abroad required, so it may be that once a quarter you would travel to Europe for a tradeshow, and potentially visit the US for a large annual event. Applicants must be hard working self-starters, looking for a position that can offer real stability and great financial rewards. Due to their location this position is commutable from Ely, Peterborough, Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Norwich, Royston, Bedford, St Ives, Huntingdon, Hitchin, Stevenage, Milton Keynes, Chelmsford, London and Ipswich.
