This will suit a forward-thinking, ambitious, and experienced Account Manager, who is used to dealing with major clients and is ready to step up into a senior role, or someone who is already a senior sales professional that is looking to hit the ground running with a fresh and challenging proposition to take to the market.

Achieve traction and grow market share within emerging and often very competitive new advertising media sectors and platforms.
Play a role in the full lifecycle of media advertising, from prospecting leads to pitching, tendering, and delivering media advertising, to reporting and campaign follow up.
As an Account Manager, a high level of ownership and accountability is key to this role, including continuous communication with management and media partners.
Required Skills and Experience:
Demonstrable experience of succeeding in a demanding, client-facing, commercially-oriented media sales or account management role.
Ability to sell online media advertising and/or events solutions to video games, entertainment and pop culture clients, agencies and media partners.

High degree of business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit.
Excellent communication skills, written and oral.

Desirable Skills and Experience:
