- Report on sales figures, pipeline progress, and revenue growth, always looking for ways to exceed targets.
- A proven track record in driving new business within digital media, ideally with agency and brand contacts ready to go.
- A passion for gaming and entertainment, and an understanding of what makes these audiences tick.
- Strong communication and presentation skills - you know how to craft a compelling pitch and close a deal.
- A self-starter mindset: you’re proactive, resilient, and thrive on hitting (and beating) targets.
- Confidence with data and insights to back up your recommendations and deliver results.
- The ability to juggle multiple opportunities and build long-term client relationships.
- A collaborative approach - you’ll work closely with internal teams to make sure we deliver what we promise.
- Base salary dependent on experience
- Uncapped commission
- Flexible working pattern & Summer Hours
- Cycle to Work scheme
- Season Ticket Loan scheme
- 25 days annual leave (inclusive of festive office closure) plus bank holidays and your birthday off
- Option to buy and sell annual leave allowance
