We are looking for a motivated, German-speaking Junior Account Executive to support our International Sales Team in our London office. This is a 12-month fixed-term position and would suit someone with some relevant experience, or strong internship experience, in advertising, media, marketing or sales, who wants to build a career in international advertising sales and gain hands-on experience with one of Europe’s leading digital publishers.
