An established UK production company is launching a new national video brand, and we're looking for the person to build its sales from the ground up.
The brand makes practical, high-quality video that organisations commission regularly: recruitment and training films, case studies, events, explainers, animation and social content. Its clients range from local businesses to universities and colleges and corporates with sites across the country. The model is straightforward: local crews film anywhere in the UK, and everything is produced and finished to a single standard in house.
This is a genuine build. You'd be shaping the sales function from the start (the pipeline, the process, the first accounts), with an established production team behind you. There's a lot to go at, from local one-off projects to national multi-site accounts, and you'd earn on all of it. It's a role for someone who enjoys ownership, a busy and varied pipeline, and building something properly.
What you'd do
- Win new business across the full range, from local businesses to higher-education and multi-site/corporate clients, through proactive outreach.
- Sell the whole offer: live-action production, animation, and everything from a single film to an ongoing content programme.
- Run the full sale (first conversation, scoping, proposal, close), often across several stakeholders and procurement.
- Turn projects into ongoing retainers and grow accounts over time.
- Own the pipeline and CRM, and help shape the offer as you learn what resonates.
You'll fit well if you
- Have sold B2B services: video/creative/production, marketing, or into higher education and the public sector.
- Work consultatively and patiently, comfortable with considered sales over weeks and months.
- Value a steady, high-volume pipeline as much as the occasional large win, and treat every client as important.
- Are a self-starter who can build an approach and bring your own structure.
- Are credible with everyone from a small business owner to a marketing manager or a procurement lead.
Nice to have: an existing network in higher education, local or regional businesses; experience with procurement frameworks / preferred-supplier lists; enough understanding of video to scope a brief.
The arrangement
This is a part-time, employed (PAYE) role: three days a week to start, with a clear path to more days, and to full-time, as the pipeline grows. We're flexible about how those three days fit around the rest of your life, and the role is remote or hybrid.
Salary is £50,000 full-time equivalent, which is around £30,000 pro-rata for three days a week, plus commission. You earn across everything you bring in, from local projects to national accounts and animation work, with extra weighting on the recurring and multi-site business that builds the brand. You'll also have the security of being employed: a steady monthly salary, pension, and holiday (pro-rata).
There's a six-month probation, which simply reflects that strong results in this kind of sale are built over months, not weeks.
To apply: send a CV and a covering letter containing a short note on one piece of new business you built from the ground up: how you found it, how you won it, and how long it took.
