You will work closely with research teams on project deliverables and share knowledge with the group's wider sales team promoting content solutions for the parent organization. You'll join an internationally focused organization embedded within the communications sector.

Your ideal experience includes demonstrable consultative sales expertise in selling full-service consumer market research or similar, from agencies, data collection, or related fields.

This role offers the opportunity to grow a key vertical with potential for future team managerial prospects as the revenue stream develops.
