Job Description

We're recruiting on behalf of one of the UK's most recognisable media organisations - a trusted name behind hundreds of local news brands across print and digital. As they continue to grow, we're looking for a Field Sales Executive to join their commercial team, covering the Bournemouth region.

This role is ideal for a motivated sales professional who enjoys building relationships, generating new business, and helping clients succeed through effective advertising solutions.

About the Role

  • Consultative field sales role focused on new business development and account management
  • Manage a portfolio of existing clients while proactively generating new opportunities
  • Sell a range of advertising solutions across print and digital media
  • Support local businesses in reaching and engaging their target audiences
  • Split your time between home working, face-to-face client meetings, and occasional office days

Key Responsibilities

  • Prospect and generate new business opportunities across your territory
  • Re-engage lapsed clients and build long-term relationships
  • Conduct face-to-face client meetings, alongside phone and video calls
  • Present tailored advertising solutions aligned to client objectives
  • Manage and grow your own sales pipeline
  • Achieve and exceed sales targets and KPIs within a supportive team environment

Who We're Looking For

  • Previous B2B sales experience (any sector)
  • Strong relationship-building and communication skills
  • Proactive, self-motivated, and target-driven approach
  • Ability to manage time effectively and work independently
  • Genuine interest in helping businesses grow

Experience in media, advertising, or digital marketing is beneficial but not essential, as full training will be provided.

What's on Offer

  • £32,000 - £37,000 basic salary
  • Uncapped commission structure
  • Flexible hybrid working model
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays and your birthday off
  • Company pension scheme
  • Employee discounts and wellbeing perks (including cycle-to-work and gym discounts)
  • Structured onboarding, ongoing training, and clear career progression

If you're looking for a role that offers autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to represent a well-established media brand, this could be the ideal next step.
