From creative responses to briefs to proactive pitching and smart airtime trading, your focus will be driving commercial success through innovative, insight-led solutions.

Alongside core audio responsibilities, you'll also spot and develop cross-platform partnership opportunities across publishing, events and branded content where relevant.

• Build a deep understanding of your agency patch, clients, and the wider competitive landscape.

• Use insights to inform both proactive pitching and creative responses to briefs.

Creative Sales Process

• Interrogate and prioritise incoming briefs using planning tools and CRM systems.

• Collaborate closely with internal departments—Strategy, Creative, Production, Insight, and Marketing—to deliver effective, award-worthy solutions.

• Proactively identify new opportunities and develop strategic, multi-platform campaigns.

What You’ll Bring

• Extensive experience working with leading media agencies, ideally within audio.

• A strong existing network across AV and partnership teams.

• A confident, consultative sales approach, with a track record of both airtime trading and delivering complex creative partnership campaigns.

• Passion for media, with a particular enthusiasm for audio and digital innovation.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, both internally and client-facing.

• Strong attention to detail, organisational skills, and confidence using CRM systems, Excel, and PowerPoint.

• A collaborative, solutions-focused attitude and the drive to make things happen.

Why This Role?

You’ll be joining a collaborative, ambitious commercial team with the opportunity to lead on major campaigns, drive revenue across a growing platform, and help shape the future of audio. If you're ready to make your mark and take ownership of key agency relationships, we’d love to hear from you.
