As one of the UK’s fastest-growing and most exciting media groups, Kube Media offers an unrivalled platform for ambitious leaders to make a lasting impact.

Why Join Kube Media?

At Kube Media, we connect brands to audiences through engaging broadcast and digital platforms.

Joining us means becoming part of a dynamic, forward-thinking company with huge growth potential. As Head of Sales, you’ll lead from the front, shape strategy, and be central to the future success of our business.

Your Role

As our Head of Sales, you will:

• Report directly to the CEO, acting as the senior leader responsible for all sales activity across the group.
• Own the commercial strategy – setting revenue targets, shaping sales plans, and driving growth across radio, sponsorship, events, and digital.
• Lead, coach, and inspire the sales team, embedding a high-performance culture and ensuring individual and team targets are consistently achieved.
• Develop senior-level relationships with brands, agencies, and partners, positioning Kube Media as a trusted, results-driven media partner.
• Identify and capitalise on new revenue opportunities, from innovative advertising solutions to strategic partnerships.
• Oversee forecasting, reporting, and pipeline management, ensuring accurate visibility of performance and growth.
• Collaborate with the CEO and senior leadership on business development, product innovation, and long-term growth initiatives.
• Represent Kube Media at industry events, networking opportunities, and high-profile client meetings.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a commercially astute leader with:

• A proven track record in senior media sales leadership (Head of Sales, Sales Director, or similar).
• Demonstrable success in building, leading, and scaling high-performing sales teams.
• Strong network of agency and brand contacts within the media landscape.
• Exceptional negotiation, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
• Experience in developing and executing strategic sales plans with measurable success.
• Drive, resilience, and vision to take ownership of a sales function in a growing, ambitious company.

What We Offer

• £55,000–£65,000 base salary (depending on experience) + uncapped commission, with OTE £85,000+.
• Hybrid working model – 3 days per week minimum in our Chelmsford HQ (after probation).
• 32 days’ annual leave including public holidays, plus your birthday off.
• Regular office hours (Mon–Fri, 9am–5pm), ensuring balance with performance-driven flexibility.
• Company pension scheme + 10% discount at Nuffield Health Fitness Centre.
• Central studio hub near Chelmsford Rail Station with convenient parking.
• A senior leadership role with genuine influence in shaping a fast-growing media group.
