What you’ll bring

• You’re a natural relationship builder with an established network of strong contacts across London media agency AV and partnership teams, planners or client marketing teams and can turn those contacts into new business opportunities.
• You are commercially ambitious, self-motivated and comfortable being measured against sales targets, with a proven appetite for winning business.
• You can open doors, have a strong track record in media sales, sponsorship, content partnerships, business development or agency-side partnerships.
• Commercially curious, spotting opportunities around brands, categories, culture and major sporting moments.
• You know how to shape a brilliant idea, tell a compelling story and convert interest into revenue.
• You’re confident presenting and comfortable leading commercial conversations.
