Advertising Team Sales Manager

We are looking to hire an Advertising Sales Manager to lead our sales team and help expand our company, create and nurture a high performance sales team, and lead them to successful revenue goals while meeting customer needs. The Sales Manager will also present and sell multimedia advertising packages to ensure continuous business growth.

**A Bachelor’s degree, Sales Management experience, and Outside sales experience with a proven track record are required for this position.

To be considered for this position, please submit a cover letter telling us about your sales, sales management experience, and why you think you’d be a good fit along with a detailed resume.

This position has strong opportunity for growth. Commission/base. No health benefits at this time.

Also be aware we’ll be looking at your social media handles. If they are public, we will find them and even if this goes no further and even if you hate advertising sales, you can learn something from this job post: Never, ever put anything on a public social media account you wouldn’t want your future boss seeing. This doesn’t mean you have to be boring–we aren’t. Our office even has safe word. For real. But it does mean you shouldn’t be bragging about liking sex/drugs or yacht-rock.

We are an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of there race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, status as a veteran, and basis of disability or any other federal, state or local protected class. Do you have various piercings and tattoos? We don’t care, but some of our clients or business partners may. We are not in the business of offending people, especially those that keep us in business, like our clients. So you have to be willing to be ‘business professional’ when seeing them on our behalf, or when representing us in public or at events. Sometimes we are willing to fight battles, and we’ve fired clients who were sexist or discriminatory. But we aren’t going to fight societies battle about your eyebrow ring.
We look forward to hearing from you.
