We're working exclusively with a leading organisation on the lookout for commercial candidates from the Journalism/Media sector. You could be an editor/journalist who enjoys selling/business development, or from a head office commercial role at a publisher, who understands the needs of a business that employs lots of journalists/editors. Maybe you've employed Journalists in the past?
This is a niche role, best suited for somebody with a real passion for the journalism/editorial industry. Keen to drive the market's leading journalism training courses and better the sector. Somebody who will get pleasure out of the organisation's achievements, rather than just seeking a pay day, as this is a salaried not a heavily commission-based role.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the academy's operations, driving its growth and enhancing its portfolio of high-quality e-learning and professional development opportunities for journalists, communicators, educators and trainers, editorial leaders and managers, and corporate clients.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of professional journalism training, fostering commercial opportunities to help the organisation achieve its charitable objectives. The role is not a cold-calling sales position, but more of a proactive, intelligent, networking/business development role, a lot of the business is there already needing growth, and the phone will also be ringing with incoming enquiries, they just need somebody to close them.
If the idea of being embedded in this industry, and managing products for leading brands such as Sky TV and CNN appeals to you. Please send us your CV today, as we anticipate this opportunity won't be available long given it's such a fantastic cause.
The role can be hybrid or predominantly home-based, as long as candidates can get to their Essex-based head office a minimum of once a week, after an initial bedding-in period, and you would be responsible for managing one other person.
