PDG Media is seeking an experienced Sales Development Representative to join the team. The ideal candidate will have plenty of experience in a sales role, ideally selling in the food & beverage space OR for marketing agencies. Specialty coffee experience or knowledge of the industry and key players is a massive bonus.

PDG Media is a specialist GTM & marketing agency working in the F&B sector, with a focus on specialty coffee. We’re part of the wider PDG Global media group, which include the trade publications Perfect Daily Grind & Coffee Intelligence, as well as the Producer & Roaster Forum.
