You’ll join an award-winning sales team recognised by Campaign Audio as Sales Team of the Year 2026, working at the heart of one of the UK’s most exciting sports audio networks.

Your job will be to unlock that potential — gaining briefs and winning campaigns that connect brands with the biggest conversations and moments in sport.

Our Vision

Our aim is to deliver ideas, relationships and results better than anyone else in the industry. In return for delivering your very best work, we will provide you with your platform to perform, your canvas to create and the autonomy to do what you do best. 

Key Responsibilities

• Build new and develop your existing relationships with agency planning and buying teams, client direct brand leads and decision makers.
• Own the full sales journey, from proactive outreach and brief generation through to pitch, negotiation, close and handover for implementation.
• This is a target-driven sales role delivering revenue, proactively building, managing and converting a new business pipeline.
• Work closely with the wider sales team to spot opportunities around major sporting moments and turn them into clear, sellable commercial packages.
• Feed agency insight into the weekly Ideas Lab and help to develop proactive partnership ideas and responses to reactive briefs.
• Bring the Sport Social Podcast Network story to life through standout pitches, smart proposals and confident conversations. 

What you’ll bring

• You’re a natural relationship builder with an established network of strong contacts across London media agency AV and partnership teams, planners or client marketing teams and can turn those contacts into new business opportunities.
• You are commercially ambitious, self-motivated and comfortable being measured against sales targets, with a proven appetite for winning business.
• You can open doors, have a strong track record in media sales, sponsorship, content partnerships, business development or agency-side partnerships.
• Commercially curious, spotting opportunities around brands, categories, culture and major sporting moments.
• You know how to shape a brilliant idea, tell a compelling story and convert interest into revenue.
• You’re confident presenting and comfortable leading commercial conversations.
• You understand the value of podcasts, audio, video, social and integrated content – and how brands can use them to reach the right audiences.
• You bring energy, curiosity and momentum, with the drive to build something meaningful in a fast-moving growth business.
• Passionate about sport.

Why this role?

This is a chance to play a role in the growth of a standout sports media business, selling creative partnerships around brilliant content, trusted talent and highly engaged fan communities. You’ll have the freedom to open doors, shape ideas, influence strategy and build partnerships that brands genuinely want to be part of.

This is a London based role.
