Job description

Overview

Have you just graduated and are considering a career in media? Perhaps people tell you that you would do well in sales? Are you confident talking on the phone, and eager to learn a trade that could set you up for life?

If so, we're working with an award-winning media sales business as they seek to hire a junior media sales role for their expanding team. As well as providing a whole range of products from events and magazines to e-newsletters, banner advertising, email marketing and branded content. They arrange regular social and team-building events, care about their employees, and take pride in being recognised as best in the industry.

With a central London office, after bedding in, there's an expectation for 3 days in a week, but you can work there full time if you like being in the city and around people to learn.

Responsibilities

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 and keen to learn a trade. Creativity is praised and nurtured here at all levels, so ideas for solutions are always welcome, no matter how long you have worked there.

There’s no minimum prerequisite for sales experience, just attitude and competence, though ideally all applicants will be graduates.

Location & Logistics

Due to the flexible nature of the position, the successful candidate will most likely be based outside in London or just outside in Hertfordshire, Essex, Bucks or Berks. If this sounds like an opportunity that could fit your lifestyle, please do let us know.
