Partnerships Manager (Sales) – Premium Media & Partnerships – London – Up to £65k + Commission
The Company
My client is an independent digital sales house built to do things differently.
With offices across London, Dublin, Amsterdam and Dubai, they partner with some of the world’s most exciting premium publishers, media owners and technology providers, helping them grow their local and multi-market commercial footprint.
Their portfolio spans some seriously recognisable names across property, travel, entertainment, transport, lifestyle, hospitality, audio and more.
They were born from a frustration with the traditional media landscape and offer something different: premium media, transparent partnerships, flexibility, creativity and a genuinely entrepreneurial culture.
The Job

· Build and grow relationships with media agencies and direct advertisers across the UK and international markets
· Identify new commercial opportunities across digital, programmatic, CTV, experiential, creator, audio and bespoke brand partnerships

· Manage the full sales process from initial conversation through to close
· Build relationships across agencies, brands, media owners and third-party partners
· Grow revenue from existing partnerships while opening up new routes to market
· Stay close to emerging media trends and bring new ideas to clients and partners
· Work with an incredibly diverse portfolio – from UK audience solutions and hospitality activations to creator-led content, interactive experiences and multi-market campaigns
· Join a close-knit, highly collaborative commercial team with significant autonomy and visibility
