Most agency sales roles are built around protecting existing spend.

This one is different.

The business already has scale, a strong consumer footprint and a broad advertising proposition. The opportunity now is to deepen its influence across the agency market, unlock new investment and turn strong relationships into meaningful commercial growth.

They are hiring two Agency Sales Managers to help lead that next phase.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage accounts from a distance. It is for a commercially minded seller who enjoys being close to the market, building senior relationships and finding routes into agencies that others have struggled to open.

You will be trusted to take ownership of your agency patch, identify where the growth sits and turn that opportunity into revenue.

What you will be doing

  • Building relationships with senior agency decision-makers
  • Growing investment across existing and new agency relationships
  • Opening doors into previously difficult-to-access teams
  • Working with planning, buying, trading and investment stakeholders
  • Selling solutions across digital, data, social, video, audio and traditional media
  • Identifying new commercial opportunities and helping shape the right proposition
  • Managing a clear pipeline and delivering against a personal revenue target
  • Negotiating incremental spend and long-term commercial agreements
  • Supporting junior sellers with market insight, prospecting and account strategy
  • Working across product, planning, operations and strategy to improve client outcomes

The profile

You will already understand how agencies operate and how commercial decisions are made.

You may come from a publisher, broadcaster, media owner, digital platform, data business, sales house or agency-facing AdTech environment.

What matters most is what you have personally delivered.

You should be able to demonstrate:

  • Strong relationships across UK media agencies
  • A track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets
  • Clear examples of winning new business
  • Evidence of increasing agency spend
  • Experience selling digital, data or integrated media solutions
  • Confidence discussing programmatic, first-party data and social platforms
  • Strong commercial judgement and negotiation skills
  • The ability to build propositions around client and agency needs
  • A hands-on approach to selling, forecasting and pipeline management
  • The credibility to operate with senior stakeholders

Why this role

You will join a commercially ambitious media business with a broad portfolio, strong market reach and the ability to sell across multiple channels.

The opportunity is bigger than managing a book of accounts.

You will have the freedom to shape growth plans, build new relationships, influence commercial propositions and play a visible role in how the business grows across the agency market.

Package: £70,000 base salary plus £30,000 annual bonus.
