• There will be international business travel to attend trade shows to source new customers up to three or four times per year.
• We are looking for a highly motivated individual who will be working both as part of a small team and also made to feel part of a larger successful team.
• Developing digital sales will be an important part of the role and experience in this field would be a great asset to the team.

• Office location: Please check the office location before applying; you will need to drive to this office. We are not close to public transport.
• Diversity & Inclusion: We value diverse perspectives; they make us stronger. If you’re excited about this role but don’t match every requirement, apply but share how your transferable skills will allow you to thrive.

Our Focus: Content is at the heart of everything we do, across print, digital, and events.
