The Role
We are seeking a passionate and proactive freelance media sales professional to identify, develop and secure mutually beneficial commercial and sponsorship relationships. Knowledge of the international climate/development/environmental sector would be advantageous but is not essential.
You’ll be part of the Development team at Climate Home News – an award-winning digital newsroom specialising in international climate policy and negotiations – and an essential component of driving income generation to hit annual targets.
Climate Home News has a global audience and works with the likes of Unilever, Signify, Adaptation Fund, Fossil Fuel Treaty, IISD, 350.org, Climate Action Network (International) and GSCC.
This is an initial two days per week role, fully remote and may in the future require travel with expenses paid by employer.
The basic salary is £28,000 pro rata with a generous uncapped commission structure linked to securing new business. Initially, the role will be on 3-days per week.
Key Responsibilities
- To work independently and alongside colleagues to identify prospects, gather leads, conduct outreach and nurture relationships with the aim of converting into partners.
- To sell the various advertisement, sponsorship, content and licensing services on offer from Climate Home News.
- To gather intelligence from the market about what potential partners are looking for, sharing that with colleagues at Climate Home News to help support product development.
- To work alongside colleagues and help inform how opportunities are marketed to, and leads gathered from, our existing audience.
- To work with colleagues to create compelling sales materials.
- Attending events for networking and lead generation opportunities when relevant/required.
