Partnerships Account Executive – New Business
If you love hospitality, food and drink, and enjoy building relationships through outbound sales, this is a chance to develop a career in media sales and partnerships at the heart of the industry. You’ll be working in the world of chefs, restaurateurs, winemakers and hospitality tech – attending industry events, meeting some of the most exciting people in food and drink, and bringing brands into our campaigns, platforms and partnerships. 

This is a commercially focused, outbound role for someone who enjoys the pace of converting new business. It’s hands-on and creative: you’ll be identifying, approaching and pitching to brands across tech, drinks, lifestyle, luxury and travel, building and managing your pipeline, supporting the sales cycle through to close, and contributing to account management and revenue reporting. You’ll work directly with the Partnerships Account Director and alongside our editorial, marketing and events teams on partnerships across campaigns like The Good Food Guide’s Best Local Restaurants and CODE’s Happiest Places to Work, connecting brands with industry leaders and food-loving consumers. 

Previous experience in sales, partnerships or business development is useful but not essential. We’re looking for someone confident starting conversations from scratch, driven by new business, highly organised and an excellent communicator. What matters most is your attitude – if you’ve worked in the industry yourself and bring energy and initiative, we’d love to hear from you!
