Job Description

At MMGY Global, we believe nothing shapes your view of the world like travel. So, every day, we share our client’s stories from a perspective that inspires people to see the world differently. Our personalised service and strategy connect media, consumers, and influencers across the globe, taking people to new places and changing their view for the better. At MMGY we inspire people to go places.

We're looking for a Sales Manager to join TravelDesk (MMGY's integrated programmatic and digital advertising business specialising in travel and tourism). TravelDesk blends programmatic strategy with innovative data and creative products to deliver highly successful campaigns for global travel clients.

You’ll play a key role in building new business, managing client and advertiser relationships and championing our programmatic solutions across the UK market.

This role is ideal for someone with 4+ years’ experience in programmatic advertising, strong client-facing skills and a passion for helping brands maximise the value of data-driven digital media. While prior experience working with travel brands or within the travel sector is an advantage, it is not a requirement.

Key responsibilities:

• Generate new business opportunities and grow TravelDesk's presence across the UK market.
  Own the full sales cycle, from prospecting and lead generation through to negotiation and closing deals.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with advertisers, brands, media agencies and programmatic teams.
• Deliver compelling sales presentations, proposals and product demonstrations tailored to client needs.
• Develop a healthy sales pipeline and consistently meet or exceed revenue targets.
• Advise clients on programmatic strategy, including omni-channel and multi-market opportunities.
• Collaborate closely with Account Management, Operations and Programmatic Strategy teams to ensure campaigns are delivered successfully.
• Maintain accurate sales forecasting and pipeline management.
• Stay informed on industry trends, emerging ad-tech and competitor activity to position TravelDesk effectively in the market.

We'd love to speak to someone with:

• 4+ years' experience in digital or programmatic advertising sales.
• A proven track record of winning new business and exceeding revenue targets.
• Strong knowledge of the programmatic advertising ecosystem, including audience targeting, auction dynamics, and campaign measurement.
• Excellent communication, presentation and negotiation skills.
• The ability to build trusted relationships with clients, agencies and internal stakeholders.
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple opportunities simultaneously.
• A proactive, self-starting mindset and the confidence to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• Curiosity and a desire to stay up to date with industry trends and emerging ad-tech.

As a bonus but by no means essential:

• Experience working with travel, tourism, or travel retail brands.

Our industry-leading benefits:

• A flexible hybrid work schedule.
• Generous annual holiday package including 25 days of annual leave, 3 personal days and year-end holiday break.
• Private medical, life and income protection insurance and pension scheme contribution from the company.
• Lively social calendar with numerous activities and events to take part in.
• Weekly fresh fruit deliveries.
• Dog friendly office.
• Cycle to work scheme/Season Ticket Loan.
• Work from anywhere / work from any office benefits.

Who Are We? We’re a travel-obsessed collective of more than 600 people across the country
and around the globe. And when we say we inspire people to go places, we mean ALL people.
That’s why we’re focused on nurturing a workforce that is representative of the places we visit.
