Seven West Media and Southern Cross Austereo have joined forces to create one of Australia's most prominent media businesses, with a market-leading presence across television, audio, publishing and digital.

Our portfolio brings together some of Australia's best-known media brands and platforms, including the Seven Network and 7plus, 7NEWS.com.au, LiSTNR, the Hit and Triple M radio networks, The Nightly, The West Australian, The Sunday Times and PerthNow.

Join our Hobart Sales team and help local businesses grow through trusted partnerships, creative ideas and the unmatched reach of our combined media offering.

A day in the life...

We're looking for a driven Sales Executive who thrives on opening doors, building relationships and turning client challenges into effective media solutions. Reporting directly to the Group Sales Manager, you'll take ownership of developing new business while growing strong, long-term partnerships across the Hobart market.

Role

This is a field-focused role supported by collaborative local and national teams, giving you the tools, brands and expertise to build a high-quality sales pipeline and convert opportunities into sustainable revenue. More specifically, what you will do:

• Build a new client base through proactive prospecting, outreach, networking and disciplined pipeline development.
• Sell integrated advertising solutions across premium television, audio, radio, digital and commercial production products.
• Understand each client's business and marketing challenges, then develop tailored presentations and solutions that deliver measurable value.
• Manage and grow a portfolio of direct and agency clients through responsive service, regular contact and clear account plans.
• Negotiate effectively, maintain accurate sales activity and deliver against revenue targets.
• Work closely with a highly trained, collaborative and high-performing team that values fresh thinking and continuous improvement.

What You'll Bring

You're proactive, commercially minded and comfortable creating opportunities rather than waiting for them. You'll also bring:

• A genuine new-business-development mindset, with persistence, self-motivation and the confidence to build a portfolio from the ground up.
• Strong communication, presentation and negotiation skills, with the ability to engage and influence a range of stakeholders.
• Experience in sales, business development or client account service; media or advertising experience is advantageous but not essential.
• The ability to identify client needs and translate them into practical, tailored solutions.
• Clear goals, high standards and the ability to work independently while contributing to a supportive team.
• A current driver licence and access to a vehicle.

Let us sweeten the deal

• A competitive remuneration package with superannuation, KPI incentives, phone and car allowance, and uncapped commission.
• Flexible working options to help you balance work and life.
• Career development through training, coaching, learning and mentoring programs.
• Generous leave options, including birthday leave, parental leave, fertility leave and volunteering leave.
• Wellbeing initiatives, recognition programs and access to selected retail, gym, entertainment and lifestyle discounts.
• A supportive, inclusive culture that values creativity, individuality, collaboration and growth.

We are an equal opportunity employer committed to diversity, inclusion and fair hiring. We welcome talent from all backgrounds and are happy to discuss reasonable adjustments that support an inclusive recruitment experience.

Resumes from recruitment agencies will not be accepted.
