Job description
It's painful isn't it, working within media sales and having to explain in detail which brand you represent. Or when you know you're a fantastic salesperson but the publication you are working on is not well known or respected within the industry.

Imagine the satisfaction of being associated with a well-respected name and how much easier it would be, working with a magazine you and your clients have already heard of. How nice would that be?

If the above rings true, then seize the opportunity to join one of the UK's leading publishers who are on the hunt for a dynamic Media Sales Partnership Specialist to join their expanding team. You will have the opportunity to work with one of the UK's most well-respected publications that cater to the interests and needs of its loyal readership. The magazine covers a diverse range of topics, including health, finance, travel, lifestyle and entertainment. They are renowned for their in-depth features and have established themselves as a reliable resource for their 120,000+ strong subscribers.

The Media Sales Executive role is a hybrid of managing existing accounts and targeting new business, in niche areas with established readerships and gravitas in particular fields. You will need to be an intelligent articulate individual, confident speaking in person and on the phone, with great customer service skills. Creativity is praised and nurtured here at all levels, so ideas for solutions are always welcome no matter how long you have worked here.

The company provide a wide range of products from events and magazines to e-newsletters, banner advertising, email marketing and branded content. They are a company that really care about their employees and go above and beyond to be recognised as one of the best in their industry.

They take a relaxed approach to flexible working, with most of the staff working on a hybrid basis. There would be a requirement to be in the office for an initial 'bedding in period' but once complete a full hybrid structure can be fully utilised. If your preference is to be based in the buzzing London-based office, then they can also accommodate this.

Due to the flexible nature of the position, the successful candidate can be based outside of London in Hertfordshire, Essex, Bucks, Berks, though candidates located within the city will also be considered. If this sounds like an opportunity that could fit your lifestyle, please do let us know.

This opportunity will not be available forever and is not one to be missed, so if you have the relevant experience and are looking to level up your career, please send in your CV or pick up the phone today!
