Sales Manager
Independent Media & Advertising Agency | Manchester
We're recruiting on behalf of an independent, full-service media and advertising agency based in Manchester, coming up on ten years in business and built around doing marketing properly: unbiased, channel-agnostic, and led by what the client actually needs rather than pushing a platform. Founded by an industry veteran with over 30 years in media and advertising, the agency works across a genuinely broad client portfolio spanning healthcare, public sector, retail and hospitality. This is a proper new business role with real scope, working directly alongside the founder and MD.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll be doing
- Leading new business generation, from prospecting through to pitching and closing
- Building strategic partnerships and relationships with senior stakeholders
- Shaping commercial direction as the agency grows, not just carrying a number in isolation
- Working closely with the founder and MD on wider growth strategy and go-to-market planning
They're looking for someone who has
- A minimum of 3-5 years' experience in the advertising or media industry
- A demonstrable track record of bringing in new business
- Ideally, an existing network of contacts and clients built up over your career
- The ability to be based in Manchester or within easy commuting distance (this is not a remote role)

What's on offer
- Up to £45k base, DOE
- Significant, uncapped commission
- Genuine ownership of the commercial agenda, working directly with the founder and MD
- A small, tight-knit, collaborative team, not a corporate setup
