Job Description
We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven Advertising Director to lead sales for our web-based B2B digital news platform serving the catering and foodservice industry. As the primary point of contact with advertisers, you will be responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive sales strategy to drive revenue growth, working with and retaining current advertisers while prospecting for new partners and sponsors.
This pivotal role involves cultivating strong relationships with key decision-makers, creating customized advertising solutions, and working closely with the publishing and business teams to ensure partner needs are met. The prior publisher will also be available to assist with training and provide insight into past business operations.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in B2B digital media sales and a deep understanding of the online advertising ecosystem, or an eagerness to learn this new area quickly. You must be a strategic thinker with exceptional communication, negotiation, and presentation skills. We are looking for an entrepreneurial, self-starting leader who can analyze sales data to inform strategy and consistently exceed revenue targets.
This is planned as a part-time, remote role. The role features a competitive, uncapped commission structure. For the right candidate, a monthly retainer or a draw against commission during an initial ramp-up period is negotiable to ensure a stable and successful launch.
