At Euronews, we place significant value on long-term, high-impact client relationships, leveraging these across multiple international markets. While the role is centred on the UK - alongside the US, Scandinavia, the Baltics, and the Netherlands - you will also have scope to generate opportunities in other territories where strong relationships exist, ensuring this expansion complements the established remit of your colleagues and reinforces a collaborative, unified commercial approach.

This role offers a rare opportunity to shape a high-impact, commercially strategic function within a fast-growing international media organisation.

With strong revenue growth and ambitious expansion plans, we are seeking a dynamic and collaborative commercial leader who will accelerate our next stage of growth and play a central role in the evolution of our global commercial organisation.

• You will have 5+ years experience in the international advertising and media market with a proven track record for building client relationships and driving new business.
• Digital and content marketing sales experience is essential.

Skills:

• Proven track record in selling complex, content-led and digital commercial partnerships across international markets.
• Highly motivated self-starter with strong integrity, initiative, energy and drive for strategic business development.
• Exceptional communicator with advanced presentation and interpersonal abilities, comfortable engaging C-suite stakeholders and global decision-makers.
• Creative and consultative commercial thinker, able to translate client ambitions into innovative, insight-led partnership solutions.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to operate autonomously, build new revenue streams and accelerate market growth.
• Extensive network of agency and direct-client relationships across the UK primarily, with Europe and ideally US markets of value.
• Deep understanding of digital media and advanced advertising, with hands-on experience in data-driven sales, programmatic ecosystems and measurement solutions.

The position involves travel, within the UK and Europe. It also involves client engagement and hospitality at trade events and at venues where Euronews enjoys a range of partnerships.
