ABOUT THE ROLE

Media sales executive: If you love hospitality, restaurants, 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 hospitality 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 hospitality, and bringing brands into our campaigns, and business.

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 or business development is important for this role, and you’ll need to be comfortable initiating conversations from scratch and driving new business. What matters just as much is your attitude – if you’ve also worked in the industry yourself and bring energy, initiative and a commercial mindset, we’d love to hear from you.
