The Opportunity

Are you an experienced sales or account management professional with a background in digital advertising?

We’re looking for a confident and commercially minded Nordic speaker to join a growing team supporting business clients across the digital advertising space.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building relationships, understanding what clients are trying to achieve and helping them get better results from their advertising activity. While the role involves a strong sales element, it is very much about developing existing client relationships and identifying opportunities to grow accounts, rather than simply making cold calls.

You’ll work with a varied portfolio of business customers, becoming a trusted point of contact and using your knowledge of digital advertising to provide practical recommendations and solutions.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build and maintain strong relationships with a portfolio of business clients
• Understand clients' advertising objectives and identify opportunities to support their growth
• Have regular conversations with customers around their advertising activity and campaign performance
• Recommend relevant advertising solutions based on individual client needs
• Identify opportunities to develop and grow existing accounts
• Manage a busy pipeline of client conversations, follow-ups and opportunities
• Use phone and email to proactively engage with customers
• Keep client information and activity accurately updated on CRM systems
• Work towards agreed sales and performance targets
• Stay up to date with digital advertising products, platforms and industry trends
• Work closely with colleagues to ensure a positive overall customer experience

What We're Looking For

We’re interested in hearing from people with experience in digital advertising, media sales, account management, inside sales or a similar commercial environment.

You'll ideally have:

• At least 2 years' experience in a sales, account management or client-facing commercial role
• Previous experience within digital advertising or a related technology/media environment
• Experience managing business customers or a portfolio of accounts
• A strong understanding of advertising and campaign performance
• Confidence speaking with customers and influencing commercial decisions
• A proactive approach to account development and relationship management
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• C1 level Swedish or Norwegian or Danish or Finnish
• A results-focused and commercially aware approach
• Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
• Leaving Certificate or equivalent

What Will Make You Stand Out?

As well as your experience, personality is really important in this role. We’re looking for someone who is naturally confident, engaging and comfortable building rapport with customers.

You'll be someone who:

• Enjoys talking to people and building genuine relationships
• Is commercially driven without being overly transactional
• Can communicate confidently and professionally
• Is resilient and comfortable working towards targets
• Takes ownership and is proactive in identifying opportunities
• Enjoys working in a fast-moving environment
• Is curious about digital advertising, social media and online trends
• Responds well to coaching and is keen to develop

This is a fully onsite role based in Dublin City.
