- Contribute to wider business initiatives and projects as required.
- What qualities you will bring
- An established and active network of senior marketing and commercial decision‑makers, with a track record of creating commercial opportunities through relationships.
- Proven experience developing commercial pipelines and consistently meeting or exceeding revenue targets.
- Comfortable engaging, influencing, and presenting to senior stakeholders.
- A consultative approach to selling, combined with a strong understanding of the wider media ecosystem and the role of OOH within integrated marketing strategies.
- Naturally curious, proactive and opportunity‑focused, constantly looking for ways to create value for clients and unlock new revenue streams.
- Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to identify opportunities, challenge thinking constructively and bring fresh perspectives that drive revenue growth.
- Collaborative by nature, sharing knowledge, resources and insights to help colleagues secure opportunities and deliver outstanding work.
- Able to build confidence with clients, partners and internal stakeholders by consistently delivering high‑quality, award‑winning campaigns.
