What We Offer

• A chance to grow your sales skills across three key areas: print and digital advertising, recruitment campaigns, and event space sales.
• You'll work closely with our publisher, event director and editorial team — we’re big on collaboration and sharing ideas to build strong, lasting client relationships.
• Variety every day. One moment you’re helping shape a digital campaign, the next you're talking to exhibitors or planning ahead for a major event.

• Someone who shares our values. If you care about doing things with integrity, creativity, and kindness, you'll feel right at home here.
• A genuine interest in sales. You enjoy talking to people, spotting opportunities, and finding the right fit for each client — and you’re excited to keep learning and improving.
• Determination and drive. You’re someone who keeps going when things get tough, who likes working to targets and takes pride in hitting them.
• A natural communicator. Whether it’s over the phone, in person, or online, you know how to build trust and have conversations that lead somewhere.
• A practical problem-solver. You like figuring things out and coming up with solutions that work for everyone.
