Job Description

Raconteur is a B2B media brand focused on creating content that challenges and inspires modern business leaders.



In recent years we have expanded our digital product suite and invested heavily into our data, audience and creative functions. That, combined with our long-standing distribution partnership with The Times and The Sunday Times, gives Raconteur a highly competitive market proposition.



Our vision is to become the go-to resource for senior business leaders and the partner of choice for the B2B brands that want to influence their purchase decisions.



In 2023 Raconteur became one of just three media brands to be certified as a B-Corp, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. In 2024, Raconteur was acquired by TechnologyAdvice, as US based digital media company specialising in lead and demand generation solutions.



All of this means it's a truly exciting time to join the Raconteur team and contribute to the next phase of growth.
