Job description

SALES MANAGER
Industrial Vehicle Technology International

Celebrating 40 years of industry leadership, Mark Allen invites you to join a culture driven by passion, creativity, fairness, and a commitment to nurturing talent.

With 550 talented individuals across seven offices, we’re excited to recruit a Sales Manager for our Industrial Vehicle Technology International team.

This is a hybrid position working alongside your team in our Dartford office in Hawley near Bluewater. The salary is £40,000 + circa £40,000 OTE with the opportunity to grow, plus company benefits.

What We Can Offer You:

• The opportunity to take ownership of a well-established, respected, loyal, market-leading magazine and its associated digital services.
• A hands-on sales role where you’ll work closely with a small, collaborative sales team and the editorial team to drive commercial success. After an initial period, there will be the opportunity to expand the team, so there will be product and team management within the role.
• The chance to develop commercially, delivering across print and digital advertising, including webinars and bespoke media solutions.
• International travel up to four times per year to meet key clients and uncover new business opportunities in a thriving marketplace.
• The opportunity to represent iVT at major industry events, including a key trade show in Germany in June, positioning you at the heart of the sector.
• The publication is very successful and provides an exciting opportunity for growth.

What We’re Looking For:

• We value experience in media sales, particularly in print and digital advertising. While this is advantageous, we also welcome candidates with transferable skills who can demonstrate their ability to succeed in this role via your application.
• Confidence in managing key accounts while also focusing on generating new business (note that 30% of this role is new business development).
• A commercially driven mindset, with the ability to identify and deliver tailored advertising solutions.
• A collaborative approach, working closely with internal teams to exceed targets and deliver results.
• The ability to build and maintain strong relationships with clients, both in the UK and internationally.

Stand Out in Your Application!
We want to see your personality, values, and transferable skills shine. To help you stand out, you can:

• Upload a video introduction about yourself.
• Submit a cover letter that highlights your enthusiasm and fit for this role.
• Request a recommendation from someone who can vouch for your potential.

Show us why you’re excited to join us as we celebrate our 40th anniversary!

Key Details:

• 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.
• Right to Work: Applicants must have the right to live and work in the UK. Unfortunately, we cannot offer sponsorship at this time.
• Our Communities: We’re home to seven communities, including MA Agriculture, MA Business, MA Education & Music, MA Exhibitions, MA Financial Media, MA Healthcare, and MA Travel Retail.

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

To support a fair and human-led recruitment process, we use technology to help us identify applications that may have been generated by AI. We encourage all candidates to apply in your own words so we can get to know the real you.
