Key Responsibilities

Achieve agreed monthly and annual sales targets for display and online advertising. Build and maintain strong relationships with clients and agencies through regular telephone contact (around 40-50 proactive sales calls and emails and follow-up calls/emails per day). Manage the smooth administration of all advertising copy to meet production schedules and publication deadlines. Ensure all order orders are accurately entered and processed on the CRM before moving copy to production. Liaise closely with team members to ensure the smooth running of each issue. Maintain up-to-date records of confirmed and pending sales revenue. Attend relevant shows and exhibitions on behalf of the publication (some travel and overnight stays may be required). Carry out additional duties as required to support the wider business.

Target-driven, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a fast-paced sales environment. Must have previous sales experience - the ideal candidate will also have media sales experience but this is not essential.
